A permanent resident is a foreign national who has been granted immigrant status, which allows him/her to remain in, and travel relatively freely from, the U.S. indefinitely. A foreign national may become a permanent resident, if qualified, whether or not he/she has ever had a non-immigrant visa. Almost always this requires that a sponsoring employer or close family member petition to the USCIS in behalf of the individual seeking permanent residence. One way available to all foreign nationals is to apply for an immigrant visa through a U.S. consulate abroad (“consular processing”) and then use the visa to enter the U.S. as a permanent resident. If the foreign national is already in the U.S. and has always complied with the U.S. immigration laws, he may apply for adjustment of status to permanent residence through an USCIS office in the U.S. without ever leaving the U.S. Either way, the foreign national’s spouse and minor children (“derivative beneficiaries”) may obtain permanent residence to accompany or join him. There are other avenues to permanent residence for certain aliens seeking to avoid persecution (asylees or refugees) or having lived long periods in the U.S. Each process to obtain permanent residency has requirements. We are providing information in this section about some of the most used processes. Please contact us for further information.
