You have made the important decision to apply for a green card, so that you may live and work legally in the U.S.  But how, exactly, do you apply for one?  And what are the benefits of having an attorney help you do so?

The following provides basic information about how to apply, as well as why New York City immigration lawyers can be a key component of successful applications.

How to get a green card
The five main categories that an individual can fall under in order to get a green card include the following:

  • Employer sponsorship
  • Family sponsorship
  • Foreign investment in a U.S. enterprise
  • Visa lottery program
  • Refugee or asylum status

The steps to obtaining your green card differ with the category that you may fall under.  Discuss your case with a New York City deportation lawyer to see which one you fit best.
