Typically, another person must file an immigrant petition on your behalf, but there are special circumstances that may allow you to file for yourself. Once the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approves your petition and confirms there is a visa available in your specific category, you then file Form I-185, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. As your Green Card application is being processed and reviewed, you will be contacted to attend a biometrics appointment and schedule an interview. At the interview, you will be asked questions regarding your application and background. Finally, you will receive a decision.
