Green Card ThroughFamilyThe U.S. is particularly fond of granting Green Cards to family members of citizens. Itis a part of the national character of America to appreciate family ties and to make aconcerted effort to keep the family unit together. The way the U.S. looks at it is that spousesand their children should not be separated by international borders and that they shouldbe reunited as soon as possible.An immediate relative (IR) is defined as being a spouse, unmarried minor childrenor parents of a U.S. citizen. There is no wait period for those who belong to this category.Following are the other four general groups by which one can qualify for a Green Cardthrough family:Family First Preference (F1): The first preference is defined as being anunmarried son and daughter of a U.S. citizen and their minor children, if any.Family Second Preference (F2): A family member in the secondpreference is defined as being a spouse, minor children or unmarried son anddaughter (age 21 and over) of Green Card holders.Family Third Preference (F3): Third category includes married sons anddaughters of U.S. citizens, and their husband or wife and kids below age 21.Family Fourth Preference (F4): Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, andtheir husband or wife and minor children fit into this fourth preference category.To sponsor someone belonging to this category, the sponsoring U.S. citizen mustbe above age 21.

Green Card ThroughEmploymentLike many other countries all over the world, America is interested in bringingintelligent and capable people into its workforce. Countries sometimes experience a trendknown as brain-drain. This is when the conditions of a particular country unintentionallyencourage educated residents to leave because of an environment that is not supportiveof their endeavours. The U.S. distributes Green Cards for employment, in part, to combatthe potential of brain-drain which has a negative impact on the society.However, there are numerical limitations on how many people can get employmentbased Green Cards. This creates a backlog and many candidates must wait for a very longtime to be granted a Green Card. To help reduce the amount of time that you may have towait, it would be advantageous to apply for the Green Card Lottery.There are many different kinds of work visas that you might be eligible for, here arejust a few of the more popular programs:H-1B is a very popular work visa.

In order to qualify for this category of visa, youmust have particularly specialized skills or be an executive of the company fromwhich you are transferring as well as be taking up a similar post in the U.S.Register Now @ www.usagreencardlottery.orgPage 6

O visas are granted to those people who have extraordinary ability intheir field.

The EADis a certification provided by the DOL that says that there are no Americans within the U.S.who are able to fill this particular position therefore creating the need for the position tobe filled by a foreign national.There are some visas that are exempt from getting an EAD, but as a general rule, thisrequirement must be met in order to receive a work visa.

Mainly, thereare two additional categories by which you may be able to get a permanent resident card.The U.S. allows refugees and asylees to enter the country and obtain Green Cards insome instances. Refugees and asyless are those foreign nationals who are escapingpolitical or religious oppression in the country of their origin.Talk to either a local consulate, or the USCIS for more information regarding whetheror not you qualify for such a Green Card.Although the U.S. prefers to keep families together it does recognize that beingblindly moral is not wise. There are times, unfortunately, when abusive relationshipsdevelop within families. When this happens, the dependents of the abusive Green Cardholder are entitled to obtain Green Cards.
