Green Card Official

There are several Green card official queries that may arise even after a Lawful Permanent Resident files for a call petition to sponsor his spouse for the green card. Filing a call petition by an LPR does not guarantee a green card for the spouse because typical green card official queries would be raised regarding the following issues:-

How the non-citizen happened to enter the United States of America.
Was the entry legal or illegal or if legal did the entrant previously procure a temporary visa aiming at green card via marriage.
The whole of the nonimmigrants resident status would be scrutinized.
Checks to see if the spouse entered via the Visa Waiver Program and remained in the US for long, or was there any prior misrepresentations to the Department of Homeland Security or whatever will be checked for.
There should be sufficient documentation to prove that the marriage was based upon true affection and not focused towards getting a green card.

However of the CIS green card official interviewing the case does not site any reasons for denials and finds the case truly genuine a green card via marriage will be sanctioned.

The green card official also looks deep in to your sponsorship capability. If your employment records and your tax papers are not sufficient enough to fund you spouse the green card official may require you to show a supporting sponsor. In events where the sponsor is absent the official would require the spouse being sponsored to show proof of self funding financial resource before sanctioning the same.

If you have filed for a green card for employment and are through the labor certification process, the green card official would check the possible reliability of your employer in terms of sponsorship in that he pays you the due wages for the work he is appointing you as proposed by the DHS law. If the green card official finds that you have switched over to another employer after filing for green card status you may still be denied the status or would be required by your new employer to start the process over again from “labor certification”.

Green card official would examine investor based green card status based on the total contribution of the business run by the individual to the economy of the United States. Unless there has been an extraordinary performance and good business portfolio such stances would not be sanctioned. Every green card issue is subject to the decision of the green card official who will scrutinize your records.
