Am i able to apply for green card through mail
In most cases, you cannot apply for a Green Card (also known as a Permanent Resident Card) through the mail. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires that you submit your application and supporting documents in person at a USCIS office or through a designated representative, such as an attorney or accredited representative.
However, there are a few exceptions where you may be able to submit your application by mail:
- Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status: If you are already in the United States and are eligible to adjust your status to a permanent resident, you can submit Form I-485 by mail. You will need to include all required supporting documents and pay the applicable fees.
- Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative: If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and want to sponsor a family member for a Green Card, you can submit Form I-130 by mail. The petition will then be processed by USCIS, and if approved, it will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) for further processing.
- Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker: If you are a U.S. employer and want to sponsor a foreign worker for a Green Card, you can submit Form I-140 by mail. The petition will then be processed by USCIS, and if approved, it will be sent to the NVC for further processing.
In all cases, you will need to ensure that you have all the required documents and information, and that you follow the specific instructions provided by USCIS for submitting your application by mail.
It's important to note that USCIS does not accept applications or supporting documents by email or fax. If you are unsure about the application process or have questions about submitting your application by mail, you can contact the USCIS Contact Center or consult with an immigration attorney or accredited representative.
