What is the final step in the Visa journey?

[sawastea 0]

So my wife received her green card about five years ago. We moved around a bit and are now in a different location that what/where the Green Card went to. In addition, we also want to apply for Permanent Residency. What forms/documents do we need to fill out?

Many thanks!

The Green Card allows permanent residency.

Naturalization is the final step.

A Greencard is permanent residency.

If she got a GC from a K-1 five years ago, then I hope you removed conditions on that Greencard. Otherwise her permanent residency was revoked.

Thanks...

To pursue Naturalization, what must I do? I suppose this results in the interview process and the 100 question test

A couple of questions as you have no timeline here on VJ. 1) I am assuming, and hoping, that 2 years after getting the GC you filed for removal of conditions (ROC). Did you file for ROC? 2) Have you as the USC and your wife completed the I-865 change of address for you and the AR-11 for your wife? If not, I would start by doing that first if the answer to question #1 is "yes". If the answer to question #1 is "no" then you are in a bit of a situation as your wife's residency terminated when the 2 year GC expired. If you have lived in the USCIS district that has jurisdiction on your case then your wife is able to file for naturalization based on the 5 year rule and complete the test.

Good luck,

Dave

Guys, thank you very much. You have been more than helpful. I have adjusted the address and will most likely be pursuing naturalization in the next 60 days.
