How can I apply for a green card?

In order to apply for a green card, also known as a Permanent Resident Card, in the state of Florida, you must go through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is part of the Department of Homeland Security. The first step is to file an application, Form I-485, with USCIS. This is the application to register permanent residence or adjust status. On the form, you must specify why you qualify for permanent residence. In addition to the I-485 form, you must also submit a number of other documents, such as a valid passport and a medical examination report. Once your application is approved, you will receive a Notice of Action indicating that your application has been approved. USCIS will then send you a Permanent Resident Card – also referred to as a green card. You will also receive a letter indicating your lawful permanent residence date, and the date when any immigration benefits will become effective. You may also need to attend an interview at the USCIS office before a decision is made on your application. If you do attend an interview, an immigration officer will review all the documents you have submitted and ask you questions about your application. It is important to remember that a green card does not give you the same rights as U.S. citizens, but it does give you the right to live and work in the United States permanently.
