- 1). Get a visa before you enter the country. This is of vast importance and is the first mistake that many foreigners make when trying to relocate to America. Get a visa as a tourist and enter the country legally to make the rest of the process much easier.
- 2). Find an employer. Finding employment in America and then having your employer's support in the green card process is essential. So find employment and use that to help you get your green card.
- 3). Get a green card. The actual name of the green card, officially speaking, is "immigrant visa." You'll need to acquire one of these to become a legal immigrant for any extended period of time.
- 4). Always carry your green card with you. One caveat of the green card is that those who are granted one are legally responsible for keeping it with them at all times.
- 5). Wait 5 years after you receive your green card to apply for citizenship in the United States.
- 6). Apply for citizenship.
