The process of obtaining the green card through the EB-4 visa involves several steps and procedures that need to be carefully followed. A common question is exactly how and where the green card will be sent after the approval of the process.

When the adjustment of status application is approved in the United States, the green card is usually sent by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to the address you indicated on your form. Thus, you do not choose a specific place to pick it up, as the delivery is made directly to the address listed on your registration. If you are in the immigration process through consular processing abroad, the dynamics are a bit different: initially, your visa is issued at the American embassy or consulate, and after your entry into the USA, the green card will be sent to the residence provided for the adjustment of status.

It is essential to keep your information updated with USCIS or the responsible authority in the case of consular processing, since any change of address can impact the document’s delivery. It is always recommended to confirm that the address provided is correct and that you have secure means to receive important correspondence.

It is also worth highlighting the importance of strictly following the United States immigration laws and seeking information from official sources or through specialized immigration advisories. This way, problems and possible scams are avoided, as well as marketing campaigns that may promise unrealistic results or facilitate access to unreliable services.

Staying well informed and attentive to each step of the process will ensure you know exactly when and where your green card will arrive, without surprises. Continue following official guidelines and always seek reliable sources to clarify any future doubts.
