Can I extend my stay in the U.S. with an employment-based green card?

Yes, it is possible to extend your stay in the United States with an employment-based green card. The U.S. Department of State issues two types of immigrant visas, one of which is the employment based green card. With an employment-based green card, an immigrant can seek permanent residency in the U.S. through their job. In New Mexico, the government sources provide several programs that can help immigrants get an employment based green card. For example, the Green Card Through Employment program assists those who have either a job offer from a US-based employer or specialized skills and experience that will benefit the American economy. Along with the job offer, applicants must provide additional documents to prove their eligibility. These documents can include proof of identity, proof of education, proof of experience, and proof of financial resources. Once the application is accepted by the USCIS, applicants can receive an employment based green card. Finally, for the green card to be extended, immigrants must meet additional requirements including having a job offer from a U.S.-based employer and being able to show that they are not a public charge. Additionally, they must have been issued the green card within the last 12 months. Meeting these requirements will enable applicants to extend their stay in the U.S. with an employment-based green card.

Sí, es posible extender su estadía en los Estados Unidos con una tarjeta verde basada en empleo. Según la Ley de Inmigración de Nuevo México, existen dos caminos principales para obtener una tarjeta verde basada en empleo. El primero depende de un empleador entregar una petición a la Patrulla Fronteriza que debe estar aprobada por el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos. El segundo camino es a través de una petición independiente, donde uno intenta convertirse en un inmigrante basado en empleo sin un patrocinador. Si uno obtiene una tarjeta verde por el empleador o independiente, una vez aprobada la petición, el inmigrante podrá solicitar una extensión a su visa temporal. Si se otorga una extensión, el inmigrante se mantendrá en su estatus como residente temporal, mientras obtiene su tarjeta verde basada en empleo. Una vez que se obtiene la tarjeta verde, el inmigrante puede extender su estadía en los Estados Unidos con prácticamente ninguna limitación temporal.
