The following are the steps in the Green bill through marriage covering process:
1. The outlander relative (the non-US citizen) relative fills form I-693 and visits a subject surgeon to compete the form and requited vaccinations.
2. The couple collects the required documents and passports size pictures and fills the required immigration forms.
3. The couple sends the collection including relevant fees to the relevant USCIS office.
4. After individual weeks the outlander relative receives an invitation for biometrics taking.
5. Several weeks (up to 90 days) after the biometrics appointment the outlander relative will receive the work authorization card, which allows him or her to legally work in the US, and the advance parole document, which allows him or her to travel outside the US.
6. Several months (usually 3 months) after submitting the covering the couple will receive an invitation for an interview.
7. Assuming that all went well during the interview, individual weeks after the interview, the outlander relative will receive the contingent green card.
8. 3 months before the ending of the contingent green bill (i.e. 1 year and 9 months after receiving it) the outlander relative needs to administer to remove the contingent status of the green card.
9. 3 eld after receiving the green bill the outlander relative can administer for a US citizenship (Naturalization).
The following forms are required to successfully file the application:
* Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative: the form that the American citizen files to initiate the green bill process.
* Form I-131, Application for Travel Document: a request to the USCIS to allow the outlander (the relative of the American citizen) to travel outside the U.S. while the covering in pending. Also known as Advance Parole.
* Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record: a form that the outlander submits to a civil surgeon (a doctor who has been designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services).
* Form I-864 or I-864EZ, Affidavit of Support: a form that the American citizen files to show that he or she makes sufficiency money to hold their spouse.
- In housing that the relative has been employed in the U.S. for more than 10 eld form I-864W can be utilised instead.
- In housing that a household member is a joint sponsor, because direct sponsor lacks financial resources, form I-864A is needed too.
* Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization: if the outlander relative does not have a work visa (for example an H1B visa), this form can be utilised to request employment authorization card.
* Form G-325, Biographic Information: both the American citizen and the outlander relative need to modify the biographic aggregation form as part of the application.
* Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status: the form that the outlander relative (the relative of the American citizen) files to request a status change to Permanent Residence (green card).
Easygration was supported to offer couples a more affordable way to administer for a green bill than using a lawyer, who sometimes charge more than $1,000, and a quicker way than completing the forms by yourself, saving you the time and effort to learn the immigration jargon and to modify the forms.
