What rights does the Green Card give to its holders?
The US Green Card allows its holders to reside in any part of the United States permanently.
There are no restrictions, its holders can move freely in all 50 US states.
Other than that, this Card gives you the right to enter the United States without any complications because you would be considered a permanent resident.
Do Asylum Applicants need to be interviewed?
Not all asylum applicants will need to be interviewed.
While the application for Asylum and supporting documents are part of the process to be sent to the USCIS, the interview will concentrate solely on eligibility for permanent residence adjustment and not on the underlying request for asylum.
Which Forms should a Petitioner file for your Green Card?
When applying for a Green Card, in most cases applicants need someone else in the United States to file a petition for them and complete a few Forms.
The most common Forms are:
Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative);
Form I-730 (Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition),
Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal)
and Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker).
Other Forms which are less common are: Form I-918 (Petition of U Nonimmigrant Status); Form I-929 (Petition for Qualifying Family Member of a U-1 Nonimmigrant); Form I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant) and Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur).
How many Employment-based Green Cards are issued per year?
The quota for employment-based immigrants is 140,000 per year.
This means, every year there are almost twice as many applications being sent for this type of Green Card.
Is it possible to remain a permanent resident in the US?
Unless you apply for and complete the naturalization process, lose your status or abandon it, then once you become a Green Card holder you hold the permanent resident status forever.
