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

The process for applying for a Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) depends on a variety of factors, including the lawful immigration status of the individual trying to apply. Generally, the process involves collecting the necessary documents, submitting the application, and attending an interview at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. If you are currently in the United States, the first step is to complete and submit Form I-485, which is an application to adjust your status to permanent resident. This form must be completed and submitted to USCIS, along with the necessary supporting documents. The supporting documents needed for the application will depend on your individual situation, and can include evidence of lawful immigration status, proof of your identity, medical records, and more. Once your application is submitted to USCIS, you will be notified of a date for your biometrics appointment. At this appointment, you will have your fingerprints taken and a photograph taken. You may also be required to attend an interview at a USCIS office. If you are required to attend an interview, you will need to bring the original documents that were submitted with your application. Once you have submitted your application, the USCIS will make a decision on whether to approve or deny your application. Once approved, you will be notified of a date when you can pick up your Permanent Resident Card. Overall, the process for applying for a Permanent Resident Card in North Carolina can seem complicated, but by following the instructions provided by USCIS, it can be done.
