Green Card
General Information:
Green card is the
name used by many people for permanent residency. Permanent
residency is the right to live and work in the United States. A
permanent resident may eventually become a US Citizen if he meets
certain criteria. A permanent resident may lose his status if, for
example, he commits a crime of moral turpitude, OR if he leaves the
US for a period of more than one year without an advance permission
to return. You must have grounds in order to apply for permanent
residency.
Common grounds to apply for a Green Card:
a. Marriage to a US Citizen.
b. Other Relatives of US Citizens or
Permanent Resident.
c. Parents of US Citizen if the child is
over 21.
d. Based on Employment: you have an approved LABOR
CERTIFICATION, OR you are a High Level employee (exempted from
filing a Labor Certification).
e. Special Immigrants and
