IMMIGRATION SERVICES

Navigating the “Green Card” process for any would-be permanent resident of the United States can be a daunting task. First and foremost, let’s start from what it means to be a Green Card holder and then provide you with helpful resources to answer basic questions about how to apply.

A Green Card holder (permanent resident) is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants a person a permanent resident card, commonly called a “Green Card.”

The steps to take to apply for a Green Card (permanent resident) vary by category and depend on whether you live here in the U.S. or abroad – these categories include whether you are applying through family, through your job or employment, or based on other circumstances (refugee or asylum, or other). A very helpful resource to understand which category may apply to you can be found at: www.uscis.gov/greencard. This helpful resource explains the basics of applying and provides additional guidance.

Once you’ve reviewed this information, send us a note so we can help you navigate the entire process successfully.
