How can I apply for a green card?

To apply for a green card in Utah, you must first file an I-130 petition. This form, also known as the Petition for Alien Relative, must be completed and submitted to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In the petition, you will need to provide biographical data about yourself, as well as evidence of your relationship to the person you are sponsoring. Additionally, you must also submit proof that you have enough income or assets to support the person you are sponsoring. Once the petition has been approved, you will then be able to file an application to adjust your status to lawful permanent residence. This application includes an Affidavit of Support, which must be completed and notarized to ensure that you are financially responsible for the person you are sponsoring. It also includes an additional form that requires proof of your relationship to the person you sponsored, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or adoption documents. In addition to these forms, you will also need to submit two passport-style photos and other documents as requested by USCIS. These documents may include proof of your identity, proof that you have not been convicted of a crime, and proof that you meet the requirements for adjusting your status. Once USCIS has reviewed your application, they will make a decision on whether or not to grant you a green card.

Para solicitar una tarjeta verde, primero debes determinar si tu situación legal y estatus te permiten solicitar dicha tarjeta. Si cumples los requisitos, entonces debes presentar el Formulario I-485 o la solicitud de ajuste de estatus. Esto se presenta ante el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglés). El USCIS procesará tu solicitud con base en tu historial individual. También debes presentar una fotografía tamaño pasaporte, una prueba de estatus de tu estado legal, los informes de los antecedentes penales, los documentos de aprobación de empleos, los documentos de relación con familiares, entre otros. Por último, si cumples con los requisitos, el USCIS emitirá una tarjeta verde a tu nombre. Debes tomar en cuenta que pueden existir restricciones especiales para los inmigrantes que viven en el estado de Utah. Por lo tanto, debes consultar con el USCIS o un abogado de inmigración con experiencia para obtener más información sobre los requisitos particulares que pueden existir para tu caso.
