Considering a special path to US residency? Form I-360 might be your answer! Here’s a simplified breakdown:
-
What it is: A petition for special immigrant status in the US (USCIS).
-
Who can use it: Those qualifying under specific categories like Amerasians, widows(ers) of US citizens, or certain religious workers.
-
Eligibility varies: Each category has its own requirements. Research yours carefully! (e.g., Amerasians must be born to a US citizen father in specific countries).
-
Filing the Form: Complete Form I-360 and submit it with USCIS, along with required documents and fees (specifics vary by category).
-
Benefits of Approval: Grants special immigrant status, potentially allowing you to apply for a green card.
-
Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs): In some cases (religious workers, juveniles), approval may lead to applying for SIVs to enter the US.
Remember: Form I-360 opens doors for those who qualify for special immigration status. Research your category thoroughly for specific requirements.
