How do I apply for a U.S. green card?

File Form I-130 (family-based) or I-140 (employment-based), depending on your eligibility.

Once approved, file Form I-485 for Adjustment of Status if you're in the U.S.

If abroad, go through consular processing with the National Visa Center (NVC).

Submit required documents: proof of eligibility, medical exam, and ID.

Attend your biometrics and green card interview.
