Can a religious worker get permanent residence (a green card)?
Some religious workers can become lawful permanent residents. Special Immigrant Religious Workers may apply to become permanent residents. Form I-360 is used to apply for Special Immigrant Religious Worker status. Applicants must show, among other things, that they have been a member of the religious denomination that is sponsoring them for the past two years, that they have been doing religious work continuously for the two years preceding the application.
