How can I apply for a Green Card?

In New Mexico, you can apply for a Green Card by submitting Form I-485, also known as the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. The form is available through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website, where you can find detailed instructions on how to complete the application. When submitting your application, you must include copies of supporting documentation that proves your eligibility for a Green Card. This includes documents that prove your identity, evidence of the qualifying event that puts you in line for a Green Card, and documents that prove you are admissible to the U.S. Such evidence may include your passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, proof of employment, and any other applicable documents. You will also need to pay a filing fee, which can range from $750 to $1225 depending on the type of Green Card you are applying for. To submit the application materials, you can either mail your application to USCIS or use the USCIS online filing system. If you and your supporting documents are approved, you will receive a work permit and a travel document, both of which will serve as proof of your eligibility for a permanent resident status. After being approved for a Green Card, you can adjust your status to become a citizen.
