How do I apply for a green card?

To apply for a green card in Arizona, you must be sponsored by a family member who is a United States citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR). Applicants must first complete Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and submit it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You must also provide proof of your relationship with your sponsor, such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate. Once the form has been approved, you will be required to complete another form, Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. You will be asked to provide additional evidence, such as birth and marriage certificates, to demonstrate your claim to an immigrant visa. You must also submit additional documents to prove your eligibility for the green card, such as your birth certificate, passport, financial documents, and medical records. You may also need to submit proof of your employment, education, and language skills. Once your application has been approved, you will receive an immigrant visa, allowing you to enter and remain in the United States. Finally, after you enter the United States you can apply for a green card, which will grant you the right to live and work permanently in the United States.
