There are four main basic categories that can be used to apply for permanent residency in US, commonly known as a green card. Each category is specifically enumerated and explained in the Immigration and Nationality Act and Code of Federal Regulations. Even if a relative or employer really needs someone to be in the US permanently, this is not a basis for a green card. Every person must go through an extensive process to apply for it and it must be approved by Department of Homeland Security and by Department of State. The categories are:
1. Family Based Immigration
2. Employment Based Immigration
3. Asylum
4. Lottery
There are some other that are less common than these four. Most of the immigrants that have come to America already have fit in one of these categories.
1. Family:
Family is a pretty straightforward way to get in. If an alien (foreign citizen) has an IMMEDIATE relative in the US, that person qualifies for immigration benefits, meaning he/she can enter and live in America. Notice that the relative must be immediate, such as: spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters. No one can sponsor an aunt, uncle, girl friend, cousin, niece, nephew, neighbor, in-law relative or a grandparent. Only immediate relatives.
When the relatives are in the US, there is one process.
When they are outside the US, the process is different.
2. Employment
There are so many different ways to immigrate through employment. Some ways are more difficult than others. However, Employment Based Immigration provides great revenues for America and creates jobs. This section of the law is very well organized and regulated. The simple rationale is the more outstanding a foreign worker is, the easier it is to get a green card. At the same time, if his or her services are not skilled, not qualified, it is more difficult to get a green card. Please review different categories on our website www.ilexlaw.com.
We have online chat support feature where you can ask questions and receive immediate answers from our Immigration Specialists.
3. Asylum
Many people think that asylum is the easiest way because one does not have to be smart or have relatives to obtain one. As a result, the highest number of fraudulent petitions is in this category. US Congress and Department of Homeland Security are well aware of this tendency and therefore make it difficult to get asylum applications approved. The most common bases are: Nationality, Religion, and Politics.
The most important requirement is fear of impending death if were to return home.
4. Lottery
50,000 green cards are randomly given to those who apply. Per country limitsare set up. For example, India, China, Mexico and some others are not on the list because there are a lot of immigrants from these countries in America already. The lower population of a country is, the higher chances of success are. The lottery starts sometime in October-November and the results are posted in May of the following year.
Please visit our website www.ilexlaw.com with any questions you may have. We successfully applied and received green cards in every category described. America is pulling immigrants from all over the world. Its laws are probably the most complicated Immigration Laws in the world as a result of such interest.
