It’s important that you fill the application correctly with your current information and make sure you fulfill all the requirements (for example, attaching a quality picture to the application). If you make even a smallest mistake that violates the regulations, your application will be disqualified, and we don’t want that to happen do we?
How to apply for your green card
Green card applications are only available through the website form since 2005 unlike to previous years where the applicant had the option to mail the Department of State directly. The green card application form is easy to use and can be filled out quickly, however, any error, mistake or multiple submission attempts will disqualify all submitted applications. Therefor, you only get one chance per year and you better get it right, over 42 percent of all green card applications are disqualified just because of simple submission mistakes.
The Department of State run the application site that open on the first day of the application period and collects online green card applications for a period of time defined by US law (normally about a couple of months).
No green card application submissions can be made before or after that date. Submissions on paper are not accepted. The green card application must be complete, honest and accurate. Failure in the green card application form will disqualify the participant for the current year. (Not good, wait another year..)
The application requires you to include the following information: Full name, including last name, first and middle name, date of birth, gender, city where you were born, country of birth, valid mailing address, optional e-mail address and phone number, marital status, if you have any unmarried children under the age of 21. A photograph is also required and it must be recently taken. You will upload the photograph when you submit the form.
If you are not native to an eligible country, you might fill a “Country of Eligibility”. This field allow you to claim nativity and the country of eligibility of your wife/husband or parent. You must provide a conscise indication of such claim on the form though.
If relevant, spouse and children information must be submitted with the same sort of details as the applicant: full name, date and place of birth, gender, and photograph.
