The Complexities of the Green Card Process
Applying for a green card involves far more than simply completing forms. The process is governed by intricate laws and constantly evolving policies that can be daunting to those unfamiliar with immigration law.
First, understanding your eligibility requires navigating a complex set of categories, from family-based petitions to employment-based applications. Each category comes with its own set of rules, documentation requirements, and potential obstacles. For instance, a family-based applicant must demonstrate the validity of their relationship, while an employment-based applicant may need to prove that hiring them doesn't harm the U.S. labor market.
Documentation errors are another common pitfall. Missing, incomplete, or improperly filled forms can delay or even derail your application. Even minor discrepancies in your paperwork can lead to a "Request for Evidence" (RFE) from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), further prolonging the process. Additionally, applicants often struggle with preparing for consular interviews or responding to USCIS questions—a step that can significantly affect the application's success.
