Understanding the Green Card Process in Middlesex County
Obtaining lawful permanent resident status, commonly known as a Green Card, is a multi-step process governed by federal law. The Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.) and its implementing regulations in Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) establish the legal framework. For Middlesex County residents, affirmative applications like Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization) are processed at the USCIS Newark Field Office. Defensive cases, such as removal (deportation) proceedings, are heard at the Newark Immigration Court.
