Tucson Green Card Immigration Lawyer
Permanent residency, which leads to the famous "green card", is the only visa category that can lead directly to United States citizenship,
although a permanent resident is not obligated to apply for citizenship.
Under existing law, there are three principal paths to permanent residency: through an
eligible family
relation who is already a citizen or permanent resident, by employment
inside the United States, or through an appropriate investment in the United States. Other ways to obtain permanent residency
include a successful refugee or political asylum application. Where a relative files the petition, he or she must agree
to be financially responsible if the permanent resident goes on public assistance by completing a legally binding Affidavit of Support.
Where an employer files the petition, it must prove an ability to pay the promised wages, establish that a living
wage will be paid, and that no
U.S. worker has been denied the job first.
