ChatGPT
After receiving an EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW), the process to get your Green Card (Permanent Residency) typically involves these steps:

File Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status): If you're in the U.S., submit this form to adjust your status to a lawful permanent resident.

Attend Biometrics Appointment: USCIS will schedule this to take fingerprints and photos for background checks.

Complete an Interview (if required): Some applicants may be asked to attend an interview.

Receive Green Card Approval: If everything goes well, USCIS will approve your case and send your Green Card.

If you're outside the U.S., you'll go through Consular Processing at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate after your I-140 is approved.

The I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is the form you file to apply for a Green Card if you're already in the U.S. It’s part of the process to adjust your status from a nonimmigrant (temporary) visa holder to a lawful permanent resident.

Steps for I-485:
File the Form: Submit the completed I-485 to USCIS with all supporting documents (such as your I-140 approval notice, medical exam results, etc.).
Pay Fees: There is a fee associated with the form.
Attend Biometrics Appointment: USCIS will schedule a biometrics appointment for fingerprinting and background checks.
Wait for Decision: USCIS will review your application and may schedule an interview (not always required).
Receive Green Card: If approved, you will receive your Green Card.
I-485 Filing Fees (as of 2024):
Adults (14-79 years): $1,225 (includes $1,140 for the form and $85 for biometrics)
Children (under 14, filing with a parent): $750
Children (under 14, not filing with a parent): $1,225 (same as adults)
Note: Fees may vary based on your situation, and USCIS fees are subject to change, so it’s always best to check the current fee schedule on the USCIS website before filing.
