How do I apply for a Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)?

To apply for a Permanent Resident Card (commonly known as a “Green Card”) in California, you must first determine which type of Green Card is right for you. For example, you might qualify for a Green Card through a family member, through a U.S. employer, or through refugee or asylum status. After determining which type of Green Card is best for you, the next step is to fill out the necessary application forms. This is often done online through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. The Green Card application forms require you to provide proof of identity, as well as evidence of your relationship to the U.S. if applicable. It is also important to provide any other necessary documents that prove you meet the criteria for the type of Green Card you are applying for. Fees associated with the application process vary, so it is important to check with the USCIS website to confirm the amount that you must pay. Once the forms are completed and the fees have been paid, they can then be submitted through the USCIS website or by mail. Once the application is received, the USCIS will review it and verify the information provided. If the documents meet the criteria, then the USCIS will schedule an interview with you. During this interview, they will ask you questions to verify your identity and relationship to the U.S., as well as your qualifications for the Green Card. After the interview is completed, the USCIS will make a decision on your Green Card case.
