What is a green card?

How do I become a permanent resident; green card help Orlando.

A “green card,” issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), provides proof of lawful permanent resident status, with authorization to live and work anywhere in the United States. Most green cards must be renewed every 10 years, but conditional green cards based on marriage or investment must be replaced after the first 2 years.

Eligibility to apply for a green card and establish permanent residency can be obtained through family, employment, lottery, asylum status, refugee status, or through self-petition, if applicable.

Why would a green card application be denied?

A green card application may be denied by the U.S. government for several reasons, including but not limited to mistakes on the required forms, missing documents, insufficient financial resources, or failure to demonstrate eligibility. For example, here are some reasons of why a marriage green card could be denied:

  • One spouse’s divorce didn’t become final until after you were married.
  • You are a same-sex couple and got married in a country that does not officially recognize same-sex marriages.
  • Your marriage wasn’t legally recognized in the country where you got married for other reasons, such as a prohibition against interfaith marriages.

Other reasons include:

  • Mistakes on the application that include missing signatures, fialure to provide translations, missing information, problems with the photos, and not paying the required fees to name a few.
  • Insufficient financial resources. Click HERE to review.
  • You are not eligible, period. This could be due to certain criminal records, medical issues, and/or lies and misrepresentation to name a few.

What is the difference between a fiancé visa and a marriage visa?

A K-1, or “fiancé visa,” is a temporary visa available only to fiancés of U.S. citizens who are living outside of the United States and intend to get married within 90 days of arriving in the United States.

A marriage green card is available to spouses of both U.S. citizens and U.S. green card holders, whether living in the United States or abroad, and ultimately provides permanent residence.

The required documents for a marriage green card can vary by situation, but in general the couple must provide evidence of their marraige. Some of this evidence include:

  • Proof that the sponsoring spouse is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
  • A copy of their marriage certificate
  • Evidence that the marriage is authentic
  • Evidence that the sponsoring spouse can financially support the spouse seeking a green card

How do I prepare for the U.S. Citizenship test?

Your ability to understand and speak English will be evaluated from the moment the USCIS officer meets you. If you don’t understand a question, it’s okay to ask the officer to rephrase it.

During your interview, a USCIS officer will also test your ability to read, write, and speak English (unless you are exempt from the English requirements). Your English skills will be tested in the following ways:

  • Reading; To test your ability to read in English, you must read one sentence, out of three sentences, in a manner suggesting to the USCIS officer that you understand the meaning of the sentence.
  • Writing; To test your ability to write in English, you must write one sentence, out of three sentences, in a manner that would be understandable as written to the USCIS officer.
  • Speaking; Your ability to speak English is determined by your answers to questions normally asked by USCIS officers during the naturalization eligibility interview on Form N-400.

Can I take my U.S. citizenship test in my own language?

You are exempt from the English language requirement if you are:

  • Age 50 or older at the time of filing Form N-400 and have lived as a permanent resident (green card holder) in the United States for 20 years or more. This is also known as the “50/20” exception; or
  • Age 55 or older at the time of filing Form N-400 and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years or more. This is also known as the “55/15” exception.

Even if you qualify for the “50/20” or “55/15” English language exemptions listed above, you must still take the civics portion of the U.S. citizenship test. If you quality for the exemptions listed above, you will be permitted to take the civics test in your native language. To use an interpreter during the civics test, you will also need to:

  • Bring an interpreter with you to your interview.
  • Your interpreter must be fluent in both English and your native language.

If you are age 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for at least 20 years at the time of filing for naturalization, you will also be given a simplified version of the civics test.

Can I apply for green card or citizenship if I received asylum?

If you are granted asylum, you may apply for a green card (also known as lawful permanent residence) one year after the date upon which you were granted final asylum status.  Generally, a green card holder can apply for U.S. citizenship after 5 years of continuous permanent residence.  Since asylees’ green cards are backdated one year, they can apply to naturalize four years after obtaining permanent residence.
