USA Immigration Process & Approach
The United States has a well defined immigration process that attracts thousands of applications every year. At Y-Axis, we have the experience and track record to help you create an application package with the highest chances of success. Your Y-Axis counsellor will assess your profile and help you identify the right immigration approach. There are numerous ways to migrate to the US which include:
Migrating to the US as an employee
Temporary work visas allow candidates to enter the United States for the purpose of working for a sponsoring employer. The visa is valid for a set amount of time after which the applicant must return to his home country. Work Permit visas can be granted to applicants if their potential employer submits a petition with the USCIS on their behalf.
Migrating to the US through the investor route
The EB 5 investment visa for United States immigration permits affluent persons to get a green card providing permanent residence status as soon as they enter the country, without having to wait significant periods of time. To qualify for this visa, you must be willing to invest a large sum of money, ranging from 500,000 USD to one million USD. The funds must be invested in an American company, and the applicant must be willing to participate actively in its management.
Migrating with your family to the US
Permanent residency in the United States is also available to family members of US citizens or Green Card holders. There are two types of family-based immigration, depending on the degree of affinity.
The following groups of people are granted the ability to live permanently in the United States: (future) spouses, unmarried children under the age of 21, and parents of US citizens or Green Card holders. They will be given their permanent residence permit immediately.
Siblings and children of US citizens or Green Card holders over the age of 21 are included in the second group. Only a small number of Green Cards are available to them. Furthermore, they are frequently subjected to lengthier wait times.
Immigration process
In most situations, you will need to be sponsored or have an immigrant petition filed on your behalf.
Wait until your petition is approved and a visa in your category becomes available. Then submit an application for an immigration visa. Do it through a U.S. consulate in another country. In this directory of US consulates, you can find one in your nation.
Obtain a medical evaluation.
Attend a job interview.
Await a response to your application.

• Time needed for the case to become current

What does it mean to have a green card?
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues a “Green card,” which is proof of lawful permanent resident status and allows the holder to live and work anywhere in the country. Green cards must be renewed every 10 years for the most part, however those obtained on the basis of marriage or investment must be replaced after two years.
How does conditional permanent residence function, and what does it entail?
The physical card’s identification “CR1” stands for “conditional resident,” and a conditional green card is only good for two years. A conditional green card holder must file Form I-751 to “remove the conditions” and get a permanent green card.
