Can you get a green card if you marry a permanent resident?
An immigrant visa available to the spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents is a marriage-based green card (or ‘spousal visa’).
While the procedure can seem overwhelming, whether one partner is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, most couples qualify for a marriage-based green card.
What is the EB-1 Visa?
EB-1 or Employment-Based Extraordinary Ability Green Card (First Preference) is a type of employment-based permanent residency Visa which includes foreign nationals with outstanding abilities, extraordinary professors/researchers, or multinational managers/entrepreneurs.
The period of the asylum process varies, but it usually takes 6 months to several years to complete.
Depending on whether the asylum applicant has filed affirmatively or defensively, and on the specific facts of his or her asylum application, the duration of the asylum process can be delayed.
Unless there are special circumstances, a decision should be taken on the asylum application within 180 days of the date on which the application has been submitted.
What is the new law for Green Card holders?
If you have a green card and do not report yourself on your tax return as an immigrant or are out of the country for an extended period of time, the new laws mean that your citizenship application or green card might be declined and you may even be deported.
How long do I have to wait for an answer from the Embassy for my Green Card?
Even if your interview went well at the embassy and your application gets approved right away, you will not be able to receive the Green Card right away.
The USCIS issues Green Cards through mail, therefore it can take weeks or months after your interview.
But it also depends whether you submitted all the right documentation, how well you answered the interview questions and the type of Green Card you applied for.
Job opportunities through the Green Card?!
If you have received a Green Card then, unlike an immigrant in the United States, you have access to better career opportunities.
The reason for this is that, in order for immigrants to be able to work in the US, they need to be sponsored by the company they want to work for, whereas the holder of a Green Card is considered a legal permanent resident, so they are free to work in almost any company.
Other than that they can start a business and become an entrepreneur if they want to!
