Application process of the Green Card?
First, you must check if you are eligible for the Green Card and then choose which process to use (consular processing or adjustment of status).
You need to go with consular processing if you aren’t physically in the United States, if you are physically present in the U.S. on a valid Visa then you must choose the adjustment of status process.
After that is settled, you need to file the I-485 Form, pay all the fees if needed and once your application gets approved by the USCIS then, you need to gather all the right documentation and other Forms and attend the interview if required!

There are two groups eligible for this type of Green Card.
1. Foreign nationals holding an advanced degree or its equivalent, in order to receive the Green Card must apply for a job in the U.S. which requires the advanced degree together with five years of experience and progressive work on the field. And
2. Foreign nationals with exceptional abilities, must demonstrate a ‘’degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered’’ in the business, sciences, arts, or medicine. For both categories, a PERM is required, but in some cases, if petitioners work in the U.S. would greatly benefit the U.S., they may request to withdraw this requirement and instead sign the National Interest Waiver.
The most common and best ways to apply and receive a Green Card is through family, employment, refugee or asylee status, as a special immigrant and through a registry (diversity visa lottery).
What Is a Family Green Card?
An immigrant visa that is issued based on a qualifying family relationship that exists between a foreign national applicant and a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident is a family-based green card.
Among other green card categories in the United States, it is one of the most popular ways of obtaining permanent residency.
This type of Green Card has two categories:
immediate relatives of United States citizens and family preference.
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.
Can you get deported if you have a green card?
The immigration status of a green card allows you to live and work permanently in the U.S.
It is possible, however to be deported.
The U.S. deports thousands of lawful permanent residents a year, 10% of all deportees.
Small and non-violent crimes may be the reason for their deportation.
