Common Errors to Avoid During the Application Process for your Green Card
Obtaining your Green Card, or Permanent Residence Permit in the United States, is a milestone. It is a very significant moment in your life to fulfill your dream of living and working in the United States. But this dream is often overshadowed by a complicated application process. Don’t let bureaucracy cut short your dream and follow these tips to avoid common mistakes:
– Documentation:
All required documentation must be in your hands completely and accurately. It never hurts to be organized and carefully review each of the documents before submitting the application.
– Deadlines:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) sets very strict deadlines for submitting the Green Card application. And if you don’t comply, your application may be denied or you may even lose your current status in the United States. So remember! Staying informed about deadlines and submitting your application on time is beneficial to you.
– Errors in the form:
You must be very detailed when completing the forms and ensure that the information is true.
– Eligibility insufficiently evaluated:
Unfortunately, not all applicants are eligible and many of the criteria may vary depending on the type of permit requested and the person’s current status. It is important that you inform yourself and understand if you meet all the necessary requirements before submitting your application; In this way, you save a lot of time and effort that could be in vain.
– Lack of follow-up:
The process is not over once you submit your application. It is vitally important to track the status of your application to be able to respond in a timely manner to any additional queries. If this happens and you do not respond, you may experience unnecessary delays or even be denied.
– Do not seek legal advice:
The best advice we can give you is to seek legal advice from an expert team.
As we highlighted above, the application process is full of bureaucracy, deadlines, forms and follow-ups that you are not familiar with and while you may be the perfect candidate, one mistake can cost you a good outcome.
