Green Card Student Benefits!
Having a Green Card and wanting to study in the United States is a big advantage because higher tuition fees are charged to out-of-state and foreign students by many universities, colleges and technical schools.
Because you would be considered an in-state resident, you would not have to pay the same tuition fees other international students pay.
If the tuition fees are still too much for you then, you can also apply for financial aid to help you with the costs!
What type of Green Card should you apply for?
There are many types of Green Cards, so you should be very careful when choosing them. The type of Green Card should be chosen on the basis of who can sponsor your stay. If your spouse is an American resident, then apply for a Green Card Marriage, if you have a close family member, then a Family-based Visa is the right one for you, if you want to move to America through work, then you have the Green Card Employment Visa available, and if none of that applies to you, then you can apply for Asylum!

What Happens After the Green Card Interview?
If your Green Card Interview went well then the next step is to wait for the officer’s decision.
Waiting for the answer depends on the type of Visa and what was discussed in the interview so it depends, but sometimes you can get the answer right after the interview and sometimes you might have to wait a few weeks or months before a decision is made.
Make sure you provide all the documentation you need at the interview to make the waiting process shorter.
