U.S. Green Card Application for Officials of
Foreign Government or International Organizations

Hi William,

I am a foreign representative to an international organization in the United States. Am I eligibility to apply for U.S. Green Card and adjusting status in U.S.?

Answer,

Foreign government officials (A visa), representatives to international organizations (G visa), treaty traders and treaty investors (E visa) may have certain rights, privileges, immunities and exemptions not granted to other nonimmigrants.

Certain A and G visa holders may qualify for a U.S. Green Card under both ordinary and special immigrant categories, if they waive to give up their diplomatic rights, privileges, and immunities. A and G visa holders may be eligible for a Green Card in any of the immigrant visa categories available to other foreign citizens, but only if they waive their diplomatic rights, privileges, and immunities.

If such a nonimmigrant seeks adjustment of status with Form I-485 application for Green Card, he or she must waive those rights, privileges, immunities and exemptions by filing a waiver application - Request for Waiver of Certain Rights, Privileges, Exemptions and Immunities with Form I-508.
