Green Card Disability Considerations

Summary

Disability does not directly affect green card eligibility, but sponsorship is necessary. Family sponsorship requires filing Form I-130 and consular processing. Approval involves USCIS review, and consular processing includes submitting Form DS-260, attending an interview, and undergoing medical exams. Eligibility depends on the petitioners status and the applicants background, including medical history. Communicable diseases or disorders posing a threat can impact eligibility.
