Green Card

A Green Card is a common term referring to Lawful Permanent Residency status of a foreign national. Many believe that you can bypass a Green Card and directly apply for US Citizenship. However, just because you marry a US Citizen or have a family member who is a US Citizen, that does not mean you can go directly to US Citizenship.


A Green Card filing demands that certain eligibility and documentary requirements be met in order to file a Green Card filing from USCIS or DOS. Eligibility is very important.


A Green Card can first be received in one of two locations:

  • Within the United States through the USCIS Adjustment of Status process
  • Abroad/Outside of the United States through the DOS Consular Processing


A common recipient of a Green Card is:

  • A Spouse
  • A Parent of a US Citizen over the age of 21
  • A Child under the age of 21

There are many other qualifying relationships based on family, and even more options based on employment, family unity, etc.
