Discover how Artist Advocate can help.
There are many paths to becoming a permanent resident or citizen in the United States. One common way is through family sponsorship, where a U.S. citizen family member petitions for their relative to join them in the U.S. Employment-based immigration is another route, where individuals with specific skills or job offers can obtain a green card. For those seeking citizenship, naturalization is an option after fulfilling residency, language, and civics requirements. Each pathway has its own set of eligibility criteria and application processes that must be followed diligently to achieve the goal of becoming a lawful permanent resident or U.S. citizen.
If you demonstrate extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim, you may qualify for this immigrant visa category.
If you are an immediate relative of a U.S. Citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident (get a Green Card) based on your family relationship if you meet certain eligibility requirements.
Even if you are already a lawful permanent resident, you must petition to renew your Green Card before it expires. Alternatively, you may be eligible to become a U.S. Citizen through the Naturalization process.
