What is the process of obtaining a green card?
In order to obtain a greed card, you must first determine your eligibility. You can be eligible for a green card in many different ways, including, but not limited to, through sponsored employment, through a family member, or through refugee status. When you apply for a green card, you must file the I-485, as well as any other forms that may pertain to your specific case. For example, if you are petitioning or sponsoring a relative, you as the petitioner must file an I-130. Once you have filed, you will go through a process of assessment. It is difficult to predict the length of time your case will require for processing, as every case is different.

If you have an application or petition pending with USCIS, you should send a letter to the office handling the matter and give them your old address and new address and attach a copy of your receipt for having filed those documents with that particular office. If you have nothing pending with Immigration and you have moved, it is necessary that you complete form AR-11.
