What to Know About Applying for a Green Card

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) defines a green card as an immigration document that “allows you to live and work permanently in the United States.” The official name is a lawful permanent residency card. 

Eligibility: Not everyone can apply for and obtain an American green card. You must fit one of the designated eligibility categories to qualify for a green card. Most importantly, you need a basis to apply. You may be eligible to obtain a green card through the following: 

• A family member; 
• A job opportunity; 
• Winning a diversity visa lottery; or 
• As a member of a vulnerable population. 

Application Process: The exact application process and timing will depend on many factors, including your basis for applying. Our New Jersey green card lawyer helps people in all types of immigration circumstances, and we can guide you through the green card application process.

After Approval: It’s important to note that green cards expire, and a green card typically needs to be renewed after a period of time. Assuming other criteria are satisfied, you can eventually apply for U.S. citizenship with a valid green card.
