Through permanent residence, immigrants receive the Green Card, the document that accredits those not born in the United States to live and work in the country. There are several ways to apply for permanent residence, through family members, through an employer, among others.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) allows the procedures to obtain this immigration status, it can even be carried out from abroad through US consulates in other countries.
But what is the cost that the applicant must pay to submit an application? One of the most important documents in this process is the I-485 form, the fee of which is $ 1,400 USD, and for minors who submit the application with one of their parents the cost is 750 USD.
For people who will access permanent residence through employment, the form to submit is Form I-140, the cost of which is 700 USD. And people who apply to obtain their Green Card through kinship must fill out Form I-130, at a cost of 535 USD.
For the renewal of the Green Card, which is valid for 10 years, the holders must complete the I-90 form and pay 455 USD. In addition, depending on the case, there may be an additional fee of 85 USD for the registration of biometric data.
