About Us
GreencardforPhd.com
Our mission: Guide Phd holders or Postdocs in their pursuit for a green card.
This web site grew out of experience of a few PhDs who successfully self-petitioned on their own and obtained their Green cards. Our goal is to help other PhDs prepare their own self-petition for a permanent residency through a structured, easy to do task lists, and a thorough example petition packet. Our packet will 1) guide you in collecting the right evidence, obtaining the necessary recommendation letters, 2) familiarize you with the key points to emphasize in the petition and 3) guidelines for preparing a compelling case and an effective petition.
