He reminds me of the Attorney who helped me get my green card. Very knowledgable,straight to the point without scare tactics,and very honest. It is essential for an applicant to find and use an honest and knowledgable attorney who is committed to helping rather than using scare tactics to extort money.

Hi Kerisha. Glad you found the video helpful!
@@Subhanlaw I apply for my son adjustment of status since December only thing I got t is he receipt I got my greencard though vawa I thought by now he would have done his biometric
Hi Kerisha. I'd recommend creating a USCIS account and seeing if a biometric notice was ever sent. Also, check his USCIS case status online. Lastly, you can call USCIS Customer Service. Hope this helps.
I have an USCIS account and I check it all the time to see if they need out anything but it haven't shown I will give it again until the end of the month thank you
Please make sure that your son has a USCIS account too. He would need to check on the I-485 through his USCIS account to see if the biometrics have been sent. Hope this provides clarification. All the best!

I want to be a green card holder be permanent resident in the US, continue going to school, serve the US and better my life and that of my dependants.
Hi Raymond. That great. We wish you all the best in immigrating to the 🇺🇸 and pursuing a happy, healthy, and successful life in the U.S.
Hi! Great video I learned a lot from you. I am a green card holder and currently resided here in the us for more than 2 years now and working a full-time delivery driver at amazon. I want to know if I can apply as a mail carrier at the usps because I am aiming to get a government position in the future. Information from you would be so much appreciated.
Glad you found the video helpful! Much appreciated. Also, yes, a green card holder can apply for a position with the U.S. Postal Service.
Hello there..your dreams came true
I purchased houses and cars when I was on Non Immigrant H1 visa too also I got mortgage and car loans for the same.
Hi. Yes. Some benefits also apply to nonimmigrant visas. However, not all the benefits are applied the same. For example, Green card (GC) holders can live and work in the 🇺🇸 permanently, are eligible to apply for US citizenship in 3 or 5 years, can work at any employer that they are eligible and start or work at a separate business as well. H-1Bs cannot live in the U.S. permanently, cannot apply for citizenship, and are generally tied to one sponsoring employer. H-1Bs can own a C Corp or LLC, but generally H-1Bs cannot work for their own business, unless it is the sponsoring employer. There is much more flexibility and certainty with a GC than an H-1B. With a GC you have many more benefits and peace of mind.
Hello.Great video and one of, if not only video that clearly demonstrates the perks of having a gc. I just got card yesterday in EB1A category. I intend to continue to work in my current role in a univ for another 6 m. Am I eligible to hold multiple jobs like biotech consulting and/or college adjunct? Also, my wife, is she eligible to open her own business? Thank you
Hi Marty. Yes. A legal permanent resident (aka a green card holder) may work as many jobs as s/he is eligible for including starting your own business. However, if you signed an employment agreement with restrictive covenants, it may restrict having another job. Without any employment agreements with restrictive covenants, you can work mutiple jobs wherever you are qualified. In addition, if your wife also received her green card, then she can start her own business. We'd be glad to help you and or your wife form a U.S. LLC or corporation the right way to make sure your in compliance with U.S. immigration law. Book a call with me here to discuss how we can help you subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Wow so it's true
Thank you for this video. And could you tell about travelling of green card holder. Which countries the green card holder can visit without visa and which countries may be approve visas easier?
Hi Diana. Glad you found the video helpful. Also, entry into another country outside of the U.S. depends on your country of citizenship, not your green card. Whether or not you need a visa to enter a certain country is based on your citizenship. You'd need to check with the Embassy for the country you wish to travel to in order to determine if a visa is required. Hope this provides clarification.
No 15 ❤
Thank you Barbara! Much appreciated.
Mr. Subhan, Brother, Thanks for your great points to learn about GC. I am 77 and my wife is 73 and received our GCs recently. I am also a Law Fraternity, practicing as a Lawyer at Madras High Court, India, after retirement from Income Tax Dept, Govt. Of India Services, as an Officer. Could you pl guide me if there are any other openings so as to enable me to do some services in US, staying at my daughter's place in NJ. Thanks for your valuable advice in advance.
Hi David. We'd be glad to discuss your options with you. Book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Thank you for the great informations it was very useful ❤❤ i just have a question.. So a family of four just won the opportunity to get a visa and have the green card and they didn't do the paper work for getting the visa to travel to the USA yet because they are concerned about the family incomes because the father is 62 years old and it's hard for him to find a job in his age so is he qualified for social service benefits as soon as he arrives to the USA ? and if not is there an opportunity for him to work even if he is 62 years old??
Hi Rawan. Glad you enjoyed the video and found the information helpful. I appreciate your comment. Also, it sounds like you know a family who was selected in the diversity visa lottery. That's great! Also, an applicant for a diversity immigrant visa does not have to file an affidavit of support also known as the form I-864. However, an applicant does have to prove that s/he is not likely to become a public charge. To satisfy this requirement, an applicant can show: (1) that s/he has funds to support the applicant and family members or has sufficient funds to provide support until employment is found, (2) the applicant has arranged employment, (3) friends or relatives will assure support, or (4) a combination of the above. Hope this helps you. To get answers to any other questions, please book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Great video! I have been a permanent resident with a green card for 40 years I would like to travel from Florida to Italy on vacation what other than my green card would I need to do that? Please help thanks 🙏
Thank you Anabell. Much appreciated! Also, to travel outside the U.S. for under 5 months and 30 days, you would need your valid passport, green card, and you may need a tourist visa from Italy depending on your citizenship.

Hi, Subhan, I like your UA-cam channel message. I like to go to USA for ever, I want to be Usa Citizen, I presently live in Canada.
I like to come to USA as Investor.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Canadian citizens are eligible for the E-2 investor visa. Watch our video on the E-2 visa.
For education
Green card holders can attend any elementary, primary, or secondary school that they are eligible. They may also qualify for in-state tuition.
for those who won the US Green Card Lottery DS260 and want to relocate to US, is it possible to enter US to a State different from that mentioned in the application.
When completing the DS-260, you must provide a U.S. "permanent address" and a mailing address that you want your green card mailed to. You are not required to live at the "permanent address" permanently. However, you should move to the address listed on the DS-260 and then you can later move to another residence and update USCIS. By not moving to the permanent address upon entry, you may leave your subject to issues of "misrepresentation" down the road. Book a call with an immigration attorney who handles DV cases to discuss in more detail.
Can national guard/reserve soldier play NCAA sports at any division which are Division 1, Division II, and Division III?
Yes. A U.S. national guard/reserve solider can play NCAA sports at any U.S. college or university where s/he is accepted and admitted and recruited to play or gets selected in tryouts.
Hi Subhan,

You're very welcome. Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year as well!
After getting employer based green card, can I quit my job or still need to work for my current company for at least
a few months? Thanks
A green card holder has the right to change his or her employer upon receiving the physical card. However, whether USCIS would consider the change in employment so quickly as fraud or misrepresentation based on "intent" depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your particular situation. Therefore, it would be good idea to determine whether such a quick change in employment may have immigration consequences in the future when filing to renew or applyjng for citizenship.

Hi Thanks for the great video! Can I apply for green card lottery as a holder of dual citizenship Uzbekistan Passport and EU citizen?

A green card also known as "legal permanent residency" allows you to live and work in the 🇺🇸 permanently. If you have a green card, then you can travel outside the U.S. and return. Once you are approved for an immigrant visa, then you receive your green card after entering the U.S.
Can you be resident of New Jersey without New Jersey Drive license?

Hi I had a question. What about Green Card Holder? Can you Apply for foreign tax credit as a green card holder. Will this be a red flag when you are applying to get your citizenship??
Hi Divyansh. Great question!👍 Green card holders also known as legal permanent residents may be eligible for the following under certain circumstances: (1) foreign tax credits, (2) foreign earned income exclusion, and (3) foreign housing exclusion. Claiming legal tax benefits does not affect your citizenship application. With that said, to be eligible for some of these tax benefits, you need to be living and working outside the U.S., and such time outside the U.S. can affect your eligibility for citizenship. Speak with a tax advisor for more information on the taxes. Book a call with us to discuss your citizenship eligibility subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Is US work authorization required even if you have green card?
Hi Nasir. A green card grants someone authorization to live and work in the 🇺🇸 on a permanent basis. Therefore, a green card serves as proof of legal permanent resident status and work authorization.
My green card was approved last march 21, 2021 as a Filipino...My question is when can i visit Philippines...and how many months can i stay Philippines
...
Congratulations on your green card approval! Once you receive the physical green card, then you can travel outside the U.S. for up to 5 months and 30 days. If you plan to travel outside the U.S. for more than 5 months and 30 days, then you need to apply for a reentry permit and receive your reentry permit before traveling. Please also review CDC guidelines and the traveling guidelines for the country your traveling to. Hope this helps you.
Mr. I applied for the 2023 American Green Card in October of this year, but after my application I lost my email due to a problem with my phone. whether this will be a problem at the American embassy later
You'll need to contact the U.S. Embassy or the 3rd party provider such as ustraveldocs and discuss your circumstances to ensure that your information including email is updated.
Good aft.. i left my green card sponsoring employer after 1 month or so getting green card and joined another company with the same skill set.. Hope it will not impact my citizenship appln?
Hi Santosh. After receiving your green card, you are free to choose different employment. There is no minimum duration that an employee must remain with the sponsoring employer after the green card has been approved. However, moving to a different employer shortly after the green card is approved may lead to issues with "intent" during the naturalization process. Please do schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss further.
@@Subhanlaw ok thanks much.

For example, Arkansas requires 6 months, California requires 12 months, and Alaska requires 24 months. Some states let you count your first year to meet the residency requirement for your sophomore year.
To learn more, contact the school's you are interested in and speak with them about the residency requirements for in-state tuition.

Can I know how much money we usually need to come to the US after winning the green card lottery? Approximately how much would a person going to America for education need for its accommodation and education? Will the US government give an allowance to someone who has won the green card lottery?
Thank you!
Thanks for you question Chamathka. It depends on the location you choose to live in the 🇺🇸, public or private school, rent or own, transportation costs, food, medical, etc. The U.S. government wants to ensure you have enough funds to support you and your family. There is no set amount of money under U.S. law. However, a good guide to follow is to have enough funds to meet the federal poverty guidelines, which can be found here www.uscis.gov/i-864p Please note that the U.S. will not provide you with financial assistance, you must show you have enough funds on your own either in the bank, through selling assets, etc. Hope this helps you.
@@Subhanlaw thank you so much for your information!

Can green card holders apply for stafford loan to pay for college?
Yes. Green card holders are eligible for federal government Stafford loans. As you green card holders you can apply for financial aid by completing a FAFSA application. Please contact the school's financial aid office for more details and other loans or scholarships you may be eligible for.
Can international students in U.S. 🇺🇸 participate in military service?
No. Not at this time. F-1 students may be able to attend Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program or attend West Point Academy though. Contact them for more information.
So if your a green card holder and then get citizenship after 3 years through marriage what happens to the green card its self ? 🤔
Once you become a U.S. citizen, then your green card becomes invalid because you are no longer a permanent resident. You will return your green card to USCIS at your oath ceremony because you'll receive your Certificate of Naturalization.
Hello, i am Asif from Pakistan going to apply NIW-EB2 visa. I have a question if i apply with my children and they also got the green card with my application. is it mandatory for them to live in the USA for a certain period of time. they are getting an education in Pakistan and I don't want to move them to the USA at this moment. May be after 5 years,if i want to invite them for their higher study, what will be the procedure at that time. I hope you understand my issue. Thank you
Hi Asif. Spouses and children under 21 can apply to receive a green card with the EB-2 NIW applicant. Green card holders are subject to "immigrant intent" (i.e. their intention to live and work in the U.S. permanently), as well as the physical presence and continous presence tests in order to continue to remain a green card holder.
It sounds like your current plan for your children would not meet the immigrant intent standard nor the physical and continuous residency tests.
I'd highly recommend speaking to an experienced EB-2 NIW attorney before proceeding. We focus on E-2, L-1A, and EB-5 visas. Please go here to search for an EB-2 NIW lawyer ailalawyer.com
After marriage US Citizen how long time taken to getting Green Card
If applying for adjustment of status within the 🇺🇸, the marriage green card process currently takes between 10 to 40+ months. The time frame depends on which USCIS office is processing your application. For example, if you live in Tampa, FL, it may take apprx. 12 months, but if you live in San Francisco, CA, then it could take 36 months.
What are the benefits of joining the military as a green card holder?
Some benefits include paid service in any of the 7 branches of the military, possible enlistment bonus, incentives to help further your education, time off, healthcare, housing, VA loans, and applying for citizenship after 1 year. Contact your local military recruiter to discuss in more detail.
as a retired green card holder, could I visit other states for 5 months without affecting my SSA benefits ?
If you've been receiving SSI or SSDI benefits in one state, you'll continue receiving benefits if you move to a different U.S. state.
If your visiting another U.S. state for 5 months, then you'll want to be sure to use your personal my "social security account" to ensure you receive your benefits.
Search Google for "Traveling. You Can Still Access Social Security Resources," for more information. Also, contact your local SSA office for more details. Thank you.
Can E-2 Visa holders apply for green card?
An E-2 visa holder can apply for a green card, if eligible.
Is an obligation to have agreen card?, I want to move to usa and i dont know if i need it
No. A green card is not required to immigrate to the 🇺🇸. To immigrate to the 🇺🇸, generally you'll need to apply for temporary or permanent residency. A green card is also known as legal permanent residency. Some work visas allow foreign nationals to live and work in the 🇺🇸 for between 1-7 years, which is known as temporary residency. Therefore, you'll need to decide on your intentions to immigrate and then determine your eligibility for a visa. See my other videos for some visa options.
If my whole family becomes green card holders, am I allowed to carry valid green card if I’m under 18 or should my parents carry it?
If you are 18 or older, you do have to carry your green card with you. Section 264(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires all lawful permanent residents (LPR) aka green card holders to have "at all times" official evidence of LPR status. You can carry your card if your under 18, but it is not required until you turn 18.

Hi Nasir. Thanks for your question. Whether or not you need a visa to enter another country is based on your country of citizenship, not permanent residency. Contact the Mexican Embassy or Consulate closest to you and ask if Mexico requires citizens from your country to have a visa. Please also note the type of visa needed will depend on the activity you plan on doing in Mexico (i.e. tourism, school, work, etc.).
My green card expired in 2003 but graduated in 2012 can i still renew my card?
It depends on your circumstances over the past 18 years. When a green card expires, it generally does not change the permanent resident’s lawful status, except under certain conditions. For example your legal status can be affected by departing the U.S. and remaining outside the U.S. for more than 1 year without a reentry permit, criminal convictions, public charge issues, etc. I'd recommend speaking with an immigration attorney.
my father was greencard holder reside in las vegas n.v .. had a social security.. i liked to ask if my mom eligible to received his benefits if ever something happend they been seperate but not legally and my mom was in another country.. please enlighten me.
It depends. Your parents must have been married for 10 years, your father must be receiving benefits, your mom must be at least 62 years old and not remarried, and then she may be able to collect social security benefits. However, if your mom is living outside the U.S., then other rules also apply. For example, in general, for foreign spouses to collect Social Security benefits then the foreign spouse must be a U.S. citizen or green card holder and not have lived outside the U.S. for 6 months. There may be exceptions for foreign spouses that are from a country that has a Social Security Agreement with the USA or if the foreign spouse and US spouse lived together for at least 5 years. Your mom can contact the Social Security Administration or a Social Security benefits lawyer for more information.
thank you.

Can I establish and run my own small/big company/business in us once I obtain the green card Sir?
Yes. You can start and operate your own business in the 🇺🇸 with your green card. You can also start a U.S. business from outside the U.S. or within the U.S. without a green card under certain circumstances. See my other video on how to start a business for foreign nationals.
sir is it exist a Scholarships for Green Card Holders (full funded scholarships with master or Ph.D. degree )/ Thnx in advance.
There are scholarships available for green card holders applying for undergraduate or graduate degree programs. Contact the school you are interested in and ask about available scholarships. Here is also a list immigrantsrising.org/2021scholarships/
Does a green card holder required to obtain EAD?
Great question. This is asked quite often. No a green card holder does not need an EAD (i.e. employment authorization documemt). A green card authorizes a permanent resident to work and live anywhere in the 🇺🇸.
Is the H1B visa travel ban over?
Proclamation 10052 also known as the nonimmigrant visa ban affecting certain H-1B, H-2B, L-1, and J-1 visas expired on March 31, 2021.
I am married to an American but we live in Canada. Is there a point of benefit of getting it if we are living in Canada ? Would it just complicate my income tax returns ?
Hi Julia. Thank you for your question. To become a permanent resident of the U.S., you must intend to permanently reside in the U.S. Once you permanently move to the U.S., you become a tax resident of the U.S. after residing in the U.S. for 183 days and then you become a non-resident for Canadian tax purposes.
If you are outside of the U.S. for more than 180 days (6 months) in a year, you could be regarded as having abandoned your legal permanent resident status.
Therefore, if you do not intend to permanently reside in the U.S, then applying for a green card through marriage is not recommended. Hope this provides clarification. To discuss your options, book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
How long does it take to get EAD after applying?
Hi Nasir. EAD processing times are currently between 7-15 months depending on the form category and USCIS service center adjudication the case. See EAD processing times here egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
What happens to EAD once a person becomes a green card holder?
A green card serves as proof of a person's legal status and it permits a person to work and live in the U.S. permanently and it also allows for travel. An EAD is no longer needed once a person obtains his or her green card.
What legal activities can H4 Visa holders can do?
Hi Nasir. Some benefits also apply to nonimmigrant visas. However, not all the benefits are applied the same. For example, Green card (GC) holders can live and work in the 🇺🇸 permanently, are eligible to apply for US citizenship in 3 or 5 years, can work at any employer that they are eligible and start or work at a separate business as well. H-4 holders cannot live in the U.S. permanently, cannot apply for citizenship, and are generally not able to work, unless they have an EAD. H-4 holders can own a C Corp or LLC, but generally H-4 holders cannot work for their own business, unless it is they have an EAD, otherwise they'd need to hire a manager to oversee the daily operations. There is much more flexibility and certainty with a GC than an H-4. With a GC you have many more benefits and peace of mind. To discuss your options in more detail, please book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
@@Subhanlaw Are H4 visa holders allow to start a UA-cam channel without EAD?
Hi Nasir. We'd be glad to discuss your options. Book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Can green card holders work as FOH staff?
Green card holders can work any legal job that they are eligible for including "front of house" staff at a restaurant.
How long does it take to become New Jersey resident?
It depends on what you are trying to qualify for. Generally, domicile is based on intent and some period of physical presence. In New Jersey to qualify as a "resident" for voting you must reside there fo 30 days prior to the election, registering your vehicle (60 days), filing state tax (183 days), receive in-state tuition (12 months), etc. There are different time frames to establish residency depending on what your looking to qualify for.
@@Subhanlaw I may consider joining the New Jersey Army National Guard and the education benefits they offer is federal tuition assistance and state tuition assistance. In order for a soldier to apply for state tuition assistance, they must be a resident of that state.
Sounds good. Speak with your recruiter and the school to discuss residency and tuition.
@@Subhanlaw Yes!
Hi Suban, thanks as you are helping many people.
I got visa and will travel in a month.
I have paid greencard fee already, but i want to change the address for greencard delivery as my wife has moved to new house.
How to change new delivery address for greencard delivery?
Please help me.
USCIS will only mail your green card to the U.S. mailing address you gave to the Department of State during your immigrant visa interview or to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer when you are admitted to the United States. If you have not entered the U.S. yet, then immediately upon entry to the United States, please give your new address to the CBP officer and ask that your address be updated to ensure that you receive your green card.
@@Subhanlaw Many thanks.

What happens if a foreign national marry green card holder?
Green card holders may be able to sponsor their spouses for legal permanent residency aka a green card, if eligible. The immigration process depends on the foreign spouse's status and whether s/he is inside or outside the U.S.
How do I get one
Generally, there are two ways to obtain legal permanent residency in the USA: (1) through family or (2) employment. Other ways include humanitarian relief such as refugee or asylum status. Lastly, the diversity visa lottery is also an option. See my other videos on visas that can lead to a green card. If you'd like to discuss your options in more detail, book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Are H4 visa holder eligible for federal student loans?
No. H4 visa holders are not eligible for federal student loans. They may be eligible for personal or private loans through banks, credit unions, and other loan providers.
@@Subhanlaw Okay! So only US citizens and green card holders aka permanent residents are eligible for federal student loans
No. There are other immigrants who are also eligible. See here studentaid.gov/understand-aid/eligibility/requirements/non-us-citizens
Can a person be allowed to obtain security clearance if they ONLY have dual residency? (Having Canada Permanent Residency and U.S Permanent Residency know as green card)?
Yes. Dual citizenship or residency may impact your ability to obtain a security clearance along with other factors. There is no blanket rule that prohibits dual citizens from obtaining a security clearance. For more information, see the U.S. Department of State's policy here bit.ly/35CjVgy
@@Subhanlaw Will I be allowed to become a US Army Commission Officer if I hold Canada PR status?
Only natural born or naturalized U.S. citizens can become commissioned officers in the U.S. army. Green card holders can enlist in the U.S. army.
Dual residency may impact your eligibility because it is hard to argue being a permanent resident of 🇺🇸 and Canada without potential fraud or misrepresentations because both countries require that you "intend" to make that country your permanent home, which is mutually exclusive.
Please speak to your recruiter and an immigration attorney through a consultation. Book a call to discuss here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
@@Subhanlaw Okay! So this means I have to renounce my Canada Permanent Residency if I make a commitment to become a commission officer
It means you must be a U.S. citizen to become a commissioned officer. By holding U.S. permanent residency and Canadian residency, you'd likely be committing fraud or misrepresentation against one of the countries based on the countries requirement of "intent." If you hold dual permanent residencies, and then apply for U.S. citizenship, there may be eligibility issues. I'd highly recommend that you book a call to discuss further subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Im green card holder, i want to go further my education , just came for two months ago, i dont have money can you assist me to apply
As a green card holder, you can apply for federal financial aid (FAFSA) to attend college or university. Please contact the school that you are interested in attending and speak with the designated school official (DSO) or international student advisor for more details on getting assistance to attend school. Wish you all the best.
I have a question please... How many times can a person apply for the green card to get Is chances of winning
Applying for a family or employment based green card depends on meeting the eligibility requirements and submitting the proper documentation to have the best chance of success. If applying for the DV lottery, then your chances are based on a random lottery. There is no limit on how many times you can apply for a green card. Each case is judged on a case by Cass basis. Hope this helps.
@@Subhanlaw can somebody start applying early this January
