Q: How does a person obtain a green card?
A: Obtaining a green card allows you to live and work in the United States as a permanent resident. Typically, most people seeking a green card are sponsored either by a family member or a U.S. employer (or through refugee status and other humanitarian programs). Before applying, you must determine your eligibility. The process to obtain a green card is lengthy and may take months or even years. A skilled immigration attorney can help you through the process.
Q: Which family members can apply for a visa?
A: A small number of close relatives, including your spouse, children, parents, step-children (your relationship with them must have been established before they turned 18), grandchildren, and siblings along with their spouses and children.
Q: Who can sponsor relatives for them to immigrate to the United States?
A: You must be a U.S. citizen or a green card holder who is a legal permanent resident. You also must have a family relationship with the person who wants to immigrate.
Q: Although I have a work visa, I still am unable to secure a green card because no employer has sponsored me yet. How can I move forward?
A: Obtain a national interest waiver. This allows highly-skilled workers such as researchers, physicians and academics to bypass the “labor certification process” and more quickly get a green card. Typically, before obtaining a green card, highly-skilled workers must participate in the labor certification process in which they must explain that no U.S. workers will lose their jobs because they have been issued a green card. Workers seeking a national interest waiver must prove that they have exceptional abilities and their skills will benefit the United States.
Q: I am under the threat of deportation. What do I do?
A: Contact an experienced and knowledgeable immigration attorney who will fight to protect your rights.
