Permanent Residency Process Steps

Summary

To start the process of obtaining permanent residency, check eligibility, file an immigrant petition, wait for a decision, attend an interview, and receive your Green Card. Being undocumented complicates the process; consider options like DACA or asylum. For DACA, ensure eligibility, gather documents, complete forms I-821D, I-765, and I-765WS, pay fees, and submit your application. Consult an immigration attorney for personalized guidance.
