Can you get a green card if you marry a permanent resident?
An immigrant visa available to the spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents is a marriage-based green card (or ‘spousal visa’).
While the procedure can seem overwhelming, whether one partner is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, most couples qualify for a marriage-based green card.
Do Asylum Applicants need to be interviewed?
Not all asylum applicants will need to be interviewed.
While the application for Asylum and supporting documents are part of the process to be sent to the USCIS, the interview will concentrate solely on eligibility for permanent residence adjustment and not on the underlying request for asylum.
What are the types of Family Immigrant Visas offered in the US?
Based on specific family relationships, U.S. immigration law allows aliens who are family members of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents to become lawful permanent residents (get a Green Card). Family Immigrant Visas are divided into categories by ‘’preference’’, such as:
F1,
F2A,
F2B,
F3 and
F4.
F1 includes unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and older) of U.S. citizens; F2A includes spouses and children (unmarried and under 21 years of age) of lawful permanent residents; F2B, unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and older) of LPR; F3, married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens and F4, brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens.
EB-1 or Employment-Based Extraordinary Ability Green Card (First Preference) is a type of employment-based permanent residency Visa which includes foreign nationals with outstanding abilities, extraordinary professors/researchers, or multinational managers/entrepreneurs.
There are many reasons why you should apply for a Green Card, some of them being:
if you are a green card holder then you can apply for a US citizenship after 5 years or 3 if you are married to a United States citizen, you can travel in and out easily, you can sponsor your relatives, spend less on university or college tuitions and much more!
The required Forms for the Marriage Green Card!
The Forms every Marriage-based Green Card application needs in order to get issued are:
USCIS Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative),
USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information),
USCIS Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence),
USCIS Form I-693 (Medical Examination Results) and
USCIS Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support).
First, find out if you are eligible for the Green Card.
Second, file the I-485 Form with USCIS and provide all the documentation required.
Third, the USCIS will review your application and if everything is correct they will schedule an interview with you.
Once your Green Card gets issued, it is valid for 10 years!
What is the new law for Green Card holders?
If you have a green card and do not report yourself on your tax return as an immigrant or are out of the country for an extended period of time, the new laws mean that your citizenship application or green card might be declined and you may even be deported.
