Steps to Becoming a US Green Card Holder

Green Card Process

The US Green Card Holder actually obtains a residency permit to live in the United States and for that there are a number of processes and methods adopted by different individuals according to their own eligibility and objective of getting the residency permit.

According to USCIS the general methods according to the US Immigration Law are;

1.    Status adjustment procedure

2.    Consular procedure

3.    Concurrent filling procedure

4.    Employment based procedure

v Adjustment of Status method describes that the immigrants apply in order to get a permanent residency in the United States while they are already in the US. The method is highly probable for an increased chance of successfully passing because the individual is already in the US.

v    The Consular method is also helpful but is for the immigrants outside the US or who are not currently in the US. Preference is always bent towards the adjustment of status method because the immigrant already has a neat citizenship history as already residing in the US.

v  The Concurrent filling process describes that the immigrant applies on the bases of employment or family. The process of concurrent filling might result in a form filling or petition submission that has to be submitted at the same time the immigrant files the case application.

The adjustment of status method involves a total of four categories for the US Green Card process that involves a file form of;

·         Family based method with a file form of I-130 and a petition for alien relative

·        Employment based method with a file form of I-140 and a petition of an alien worker

·   Special classes of immigrants with a file form I-360 and a petition for Amerasian and humanitarian programs
