After someone has been in the country for many years, they may no longer be eligible for the same visa. A green card makes someone a permanent resident and allows them to potentially stay in the United States for the rest of their life. They will only have to submit new paperwork to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) every 10 years instead of renewing their visa more frequently than that ..read more

When you have a visa that allows you to live in the country, your time here is conditional. You have to continue to meet the standards established by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Those standards involve your ability to support yourself, comply with filing requirements and comply with domestic laws. In addition to filling out paperwork when the time comes to renew your visa or adjust your status, you have to minimize your use of public benefits programs and avoid criminal charges. If you do get arrested for a criminal offense, you should be aware of the potenti ..read more
