Green Card Denials Help

Here, we discuss the most common reasons green card applications are rejected and how our immigration lawyer can help applicants throughout Cook County move forward with confidence.

What are the Most Common Reasons Green Card Applications Are Rejected?

Green card applications can be rejected for various reasons, some of the most common being:

  • Incomplete or Inaccurate Application

    Missing information or errors in the application form can lead to rejection. This includes incomplete forms, incorrect answers, or failure to provide necessary documentation.

  • Ineligibility

    Applicants may not meet the eligibility criteria for the specific green card category they are applying for, such as employment-based, family-sponsored, or diversity lottery green cards.

  • Criminal Record

    A criminal record, especially involving crimes of moral turpitude or drug offenses, can result in denial. Certain criminal activities can make an applicant inadmissible.

  • Immigration Violations

    Past immigration violations, such as overstaying a visa, illegal entry, or previous deportation, can negatively impact the application.

  • Health-Related Issues

    Failing the medical examination, having certain infectious diseases, mental disorders associated with harmful behavior, or lack of required vaccinations can lead to rejection.

  • Security Concerns

    Applicants considered a security threat, have ties to terrorist organizations, or have engaged in espionage or sabotage can be denied.

  • Financial Inadmissibility

    Applicants must demonstrate that they will not become a public charge. Lack of sufficient financial resources or a valid affidavit of support from a sponsor can result in denial.

  • Fraud or Misrepresentation

    Providing false information or fraudulent documents during application can lead to immediate rejection and potential legal consequences.

  • Failure to Attend Appointments

    Missing required appointments, such as biometrics, medical examinations, or interviews, can result in the application being denied.
