Green Cards are sometimes issued by the USCIS to individuals that are defined and categorized as Special Immigrants. The “Special Immigrant” category consists of different categories that have specific requirements.

These specific application requirements must be fulfilled for the Green Card immigration application to be accepted. Green Card application requirements include favorable recommendation letters, certified copies of original documents, bank account statements, insurance documents, and evidence of higher education.

The Green Card application process involves two steps:

  1. The Petition
  2. The Application

The application process can be carried out in the United States or at any U.S. consulate abroad. A filing fee is charged by the USCIS for most applications, but some applicants may not have to pay the fee. Married applicants or applicants with children below the age of 21 can apply for green cards as accompanying relatives. In this case, they would need to prove their relationship by submitting the required supporting documentation.
