American green card application process

1. Process of applying for green card by American immigrants

1. Prepare the application materials and submit them to the US Immigration Service.

Prepare the materials, sign the subscription contract and submit the application to the US Immigration Service. The applicant first submits an immigration application (1-526). Before the application is approved by the US Immigration Bureau, all the investors' funds are deposited in the supervision bank, so the funds are safe. If (1-526) fails, all investment funds will be returned.

In the first step, as long as the project applied by the applicant is recognized by the Immigration Bureau and the application materials are fully prepared, it can generally pass. The general application period is about 2 to 4 months. However, the application may also fail.

The main reason is that the customer's application materials have problems, or the immigration bureau has questions about the details of the project.

2. Apply for an immigrant visa at an embassy or consulate.

After the approval of the Immigration Bureau, it will be handed over to the American Visa Center for background investigation, physical examination and interview at the Guangzhou Consulate, and a visa will be obtained, and a conditional American permanent green card will be obtained. From the date of obtaining the conditional green card, the principal applicant, spouse and unmarried children under the age of 2/kloc-0 can enjoy the American welfare and security system.

If the applicant has no special reason, he will get the "conditional green card" in the United States, and the probability of failure is very low. Henry immigration experts remind that there are usually three main reasons for applicants' failure. First, the applicant and his family have criminal records; Second, the medical examination is unqualified, and there are serious infectious diseases or other diseases stipulated by the Immigration Bureau; Third, investment behavior has changed.

However, if the investor fails to pass the immigration visa, the investment funds can still be returned. However, it is much more complicated than the refund procedure that failed in the first step, because the investment funds have been invested in the project at this time, so the refund process is relatively complicated. Investment funds must be returned to the fund company first, and then transferred to the regulatory bank before they can be returned to individual investors.

3. The transformation of the official green card

Within 90 days before the two-year expiration date of the temporary green card, the applicant who obtained the temporary green card can submit an I-829 application to obtain a formal green card. If the Immigration Bureau determines that the investor does meet the requirements, the investor and his family members can formally become legal permanent residents. The US Immigration Bureau mainly examines whether the investor's investment behavior still exists and whether it meets the requirements of hiring local residents.

2. Introduction of American Marriage Immigrants

1. Q: What are the advantages of American marriage immigrants compared with other types of immigrants?

A: The categories of American immigrants mainly include relative immigrants, marriage immigrants, investment immigrants and skilled immigrants. American marriage immigrants (including CR 1, IR 1, K3 and F2A) have no special requirements on the applicant's property and language, and the number of marriage visas is not limited, so the application time is fast. Generally, the official fee for the United States to apply for marriage immigration does not exceed $ 1000. In addition, the application procedure in marriage immigration is relatively uncomplicated. CR 1/IR 1 Marriage immigrant visa, within 1-3 months of entering the United States, you can receive a two-year conditional green card (less than two years from the wedding date to the entry date) or a ten-year green card (more than two years from the wedding date to the entry date) sent by the immigration office in the United States. If it is an electronic application, marriage immigration can get a green card within six months from the date of application at the earliest.

2. Q: What kinds of marriage visas are there in the United States? What kind of applicants are suitable for each?

Answer: Marriage immigrants are suitable for people who have spouses in China or other countries in the United States (either American citizens or American green card holders). American CR 1 Marriage Immigration Visa: It is applicable to spouses who have been married to American citizens for less than two years, and their unmarried children below 2 1 are CR2 visas. American IR 1 Marriage Immigration Visa: It is applicable to spouses who have been married to American citizens for two years, and their unmarried children under the age of 2 1 are IR2 visas.

3. Q: Is it advisable to cheat American immigrant visa by fake marriage? Why?

A: Fake marriages with American citizens are called "fake marriages" or "shameful marriages" in the United States. If, during the interview process of applying for permanent residence, immigration officials find that the purpose of foreign spouses marrying American citizens or permanent residents is to obtain the right of abode in the United States, they can judge this marriage as a "fake marriage". Before 1996, foreign spouses who get married under false pretenses will be included in the scope of expulsion, and those who get married under false pretenses will not be punished in the United States. However, in the immigration law of 1996, American men and women involved in fake marriage will also be prosecuted for federal fraud. In view of the strict examination by the Immigration Bureau and the serious consequences brought to both parties after the fake marriage is ruled, this method is not desirable. Although the applicant successfully defrauded the American immigrant visa and obtained a green card through fake marriage, the US Immigration Bureau will have relevant records, and the applicant will face the dilemma that his personal integrity will be questioned when living in the United States. It will also be affected when applying for mortgage, bank loan or other applications. Therefore, it is not recommended that applicants defraud American immigrant visas in this way.

4. Q: Do American marriage immigrants need face-to-face visas? Are there any special circumstances that don't require an interview?

A: According to the US immigration law, the American marriage immigrant visa must be signed in person. Applicants from Chinese mainland must go to the Guangzhou Consulate General in the United States for an immigrant visa interview. So far, there is no special case of the Immigration Department that does not require a face-to-face visa. American marriage immigrant visa applicants can only obtain an immigrant visa after obtaining the approval of the visa officer in the face-to-face interview. Usually, face-to-face interviews have three results: passing, being asked to supplement supporting materials or being dismissed. /zd/xx
