Need to Obtain a Green Card? Contact Total Lawyers!

A Green Card gives you the right to live and work anywhere in the U.S., leave and re-enter the U.S. at any time, and the opportunity to become a U.S. citizen. There are several ways you can obtain a Green Card:

Family Based

If you are the spouse, child, brother, sister, parent, or if you are engaged to be married to a U.S. citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident if the person to whom you are related to or engaged files a petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the American Embassy in your country of residence.

Also, if you are the spouse or unmarried child of a lawful permanent resident, you can obtain a Green Card if the relative who has the Green Card files a petition with the USCIS or the American Embassy in your country of residence.

Employment-Based

If you are not eligible for family-based sponsorship (or even if you are), you may be able to obtain a Green Card on the basis of your work, as either a priority or non-priority worker.

Priority workers are people who possess skills that are considered in short supply or especially needed in the United States. This may include:

• People with extraordinary ability,
• Outstanding researchers and professors, and
• Multinational executives and managers.

Non-Priority Workers may include:

• Individuals with graduate degrees,
• Professional without graduate degrees,
• Skilled and unskilled workers.

Investment Based

If you are an entrepreneur from another country who invests from $500K to $1 Million in a new business and employs at least ten (10) American citizens or lawful permanent residents, you are eligible for a Green Card. The category allows for 10,000 immigrant visas per year to be issued and was designed to stimulate overseas investment and employment.

Special Immigrant Based

Certain immigrants qualify as designated special immigrants, including:

• Religious workers,
• Medical doctors,
• Certain former government and military officials, and
• Retired international organization officials.

In addition, certain groups are granted the right to immigrate to the U.S. or given amnesty.

Asylum Based

If you have suffered past persecution and/or have a well-founded fear of future persecution based on your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group in your home country, you are eligible to apply for a Green Card.
