As an immigrant, having a green card (officially known as the Permanent Resident Card or Form I-551) will open more opportunities for you that will ultimately help you have a better life. Thus, it is important that you do your part in making sure that your green card application will be processed smoothly.
Submit your green card application on time
The first rule in applying for anything is to submit your application on time. Be aware of the deadlines by getting updates with the USCIS in their office nearest you or through their website.
Include complete information on your green card application
Your green card application should be treated with utmost importance so you have to fill it out carefully and completely. Do not miss out any of the information required in the application forms. Review each information before submitting.
If for any reason there are changes in your biographic information, you should inform the USCIS immediately. Just by doing these common sense rules, you can eliminate some hassles in your application.
