Adjustment of status is the process by which someone already in the United States can apply for permanent resident status (a Green Card) without having to return to their home country. It's a way for non-immigrants, like those with student or work visas, to transition to permanent residency.
The Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is a crucial step in the family-based immigration process, allowing U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain relatives for immigration. It establishes a family relationship that can lead to the relative obtaining a green card (permanent residency).
The Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, is a crucial document in the employment-based green card process. It's filed by a US employer to sponsor a foreign worker for a green card, demonstrating that the employer needs the worker and that qualified US workers are not available.
The Form I-864, or Affidavit of Support, is a legally binding contract where a sponsor promises to financially support an immigrant who is applying for a green card. It ensures the immigrant will have adequate means of support and is unlikely to become a public charge.
Naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen becomes a U.S. citizen. It's a voluntary process, meaning a person must actively choose to become a citizen. In essence, naturalization allows someone born outside the U.S. to gain U.S. citizenship after meeting specific requirements.
There are many reasons why you would need to renew your green card. Most common reason:
An immigrant visa allows a foreign national to enter and permanently reside in the United States. It's essentially a pathway to becoming a legal permanent resident, often referred to as a Green Card holder.
A nonimmigrant visa allows foreign nationals to enter the United States for a temporary period for specific purposes like tourism, business, study, or work. It's different from an immigrant visa, which allows permanent residency.
USCIS requires certified translations for all foreign language documents submitted with an application. This means the translation must be certified as accurate and complete by a translator, and the translator's certification must include their name, signature, address, and date.
A provisional unlawful presence waiver, filed using Form I-601A, allows certain individuals who are relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to request a waiver of the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility before leaving the U.S. for a consular interview. This waiver allows them to avoid the waiting period in consular processing and maintain their status in the U.S. while their waiver is pending.
A 2-year waiver request, often referred to as a "212(e) waiver," is a request to be excused from the two-year home-country physical presence requirement for certain J-1 visa holders. This requirement mandates that J-1 visa holders return to their home country for at least two years after their exchange visitor program concludes.
