Eligibility
If you have been granted a waiver to the 2-year requirement and meet the requirements for Green Card eligibility, you will need to follow the application process below.
A Green Card, also known as a Permanent Resident Card, is a 10-year visa to the United States. It gives you the legal right to work in the United States and grants you the status of a permanent resident—though not a citizen.
Once you have a Green Card, you may apply for U.S. citizenship after you have been in the United States for a certain period of time.
