Understanding Green Cards And The Process To Obtain One

A green card is a coveted document that represents permanent resident status in the United States. Once you obtain a green card, you can live and work in the U.S., and you can enjoy many benefits that are given to permanent residents.There are several ways to obtain a green card if you qualify. In some cases, it is possible to be successful through family-based or employment-based routes. These approaches require knowledge of specific immigration rules. Green cards do not come quickly or easily. Historically, one of the most popular ways of obtaining a green card is to marry a U.S. citizen; generally, the noncitizen spouse can be eligible for U.S. citizenship after three years of marriage. Everyone’s situation is unique. It is critically important to discuss your situation with an experienced immigration lawyer if you are considering applying for permanent residence.
