Can i sponsor myself for green card?

Answer

In most cases, you cannot directly sponsor yourself for a green card. However, there are certain situations where self-sponsorship is possible under specific visa categories. These include:

  1. EB-1 Visa (Extraordinary Ability): If you can demonstrate extraordinary ability in fields such as science, arts, education, business, or athletics, you may qualify for a green card without needing an employer sponsor.
  2. EB-2 Visa (National Interest Waiver): If your work is in the national interest of the United States, you may be able to self-petition under this category. You must prove that your work is of substantial merit and national importance.
  3. Investor Visa (EB-5): If you can make a significant investment in a U.S. business (typically $800,000 to $1 million, depending on the location and type of investment), you may be eligible to apply for a green card through the EB-5 program.

These self-sponsorship options are specific to highly qualified individuals or investors. It is advisable to consult an immigration attorney to assess your eligibility and navigate the application process effectively.
