6 Costly Mistakes When Applying For Green Card

Date:

Winning a green card is a dream of many individuals seeking to permanently relocate to the US.

However, that dream can be short-lived or even fail to materialize due to simple mistakes.

Here are Some Common Mistakes that cost applicants the opportunity to win green cards.

Not Being Eligible

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) receives hundreds of thousands of applications during this period.

So before anything US checks if the applicant meets the eligibility criteria.

The following categories of people are eligible to apply

You have close relatives who are U.S. permanent residents or citizens.

You have a U.S. employer sponsoring you.

You are a special immigrant.

You have refugee or asylee status.

You are a victim of human trafficking or crime.

Applying without using the above checklists

Failing to Attend Application Appointments

If you miss appointments needed for your green card application process, your application may be denied.

They include a green card interview or biometric confirmation.

US verifies all documents to ensure only right candidates are picked.

Application Mistakes

Mistakes on the application form amount to disqualifications.

Applicants are always advised to countercheck before submitting their applications.

Mistakes include attaching wrong documents, personal details errors and wrong submissions.

Low Financial Resources

If one does not have enough financial muscles to survive in the US, then the application is disqualified.

In the application process, one is required to demonstrate how they will survive in the US.

In the marriage green card application process, U.S. citizen or green card holder spouses and other family members must meet specific income requirements to qualify as sponsors to the applicant.

USCIS will want to make sure that you will not become a public charge when you enter the United States as a permanent resident. Not being a public charge means that you will not be likely to rely on U.S. government health and assistance benefits for financial support. If you are likely to need public resources, USCIS may deny your green card application.

US Denied Your Underlying Petition

To apply for an employment-based green card, you must have first filed Form I-140: Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker form.

If you change employers or your employer fails to establish their working relationship with you sufficiently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will deny the underlying petition.

One cannot continur with  green card application if USCIS denies their I-140 petition.

Missing RFE Deadline

In some cases, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services USCIS will reach out to applicants to ask them for additional information.

If USCIS thinks they need more information to decide on your green card application, they will send you Form I-797E, also known as a Request for Evidence (RFE).

USCIS will send an RFE to the same mailing address that you listed on your green card application.

To avoid missing out, applicants are often advised to consult various experts before submitting the details.
