What is the process for filing an immigrant petition?
The process for filing an immigrant petition in Illinois varies depending on an individual’s immigration status. Immigrants with permanent residence or “green cards” can apply for citizenship, while those without a green card must go through a much longer process. For those without a green card, the process typically begins with submitting an immigrant petition to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The petition should include basic information such as name, date of birth, place of birth, and contact information. The applicant should also provide documents that prove their eligibility such as education qualifications, work experience, and financial resources. The applicant must also provide proof of identity such as a birth certificate, passport, or driver’s license. Once the petition has been approved, the applicant will be issued a date for an interview with the USCIS. During the interview, the applicant must provide details about their biographic information, work history, and financial status. After the interview, the applicant will receive a decision regarding their petition. If approved, the applicant may file for an adjustment of status. This process can be lengthy and complex, so many people choose to hire a lawyer to help them navigate the process. Once the petition is approved and the adjustment of status has been filed, the applicant will have to pass a background check and a medical exam before receiving their green card and becoming a permanent resident.

Si una persona desea venir a los Estados Unidos para trabajar, es necesario presentar una petición de inmigración llamada Petición de Trabajador Extranjero (Formulario I-129). Esta petición debe presentarse ante el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS). En primer lugar, el solicitante debe demostrar que la posición requerida no puede ser ocupada por un trabajador estadounidense con habilidades igualmente adecuadas. El empleador también debe presentar evidencia de que la persona extranjera tiene la experiencia y la educación necesarias para llenar el cargo solicitado. El solicitante debe facilitar una prueba de que la relación entre la persona y el empleador no es temporal sino de larga duración. Además de la documentación mencionada anteriormente, el empleador y el solicitante deberán proporcionar documentos que puedan demostrar la identidad y la nacionalidad del solicitante. Esto puede incluir un pasaporte o, en el caso de un extranjero sin documentos de identidad, una carta de la policía local del país de origen. Una vez completada la solicitud correctamente, el USCIS revisa la petición y, si es aprobada, se le otorga al solicitante una visa temporal de trabajo. El trabajo comienza cuando el solicitante entra a los Estados Unidos con la visa de trabajo.
