What is the process for obtaining permanent residence as a religious worker?
This is a two-step process. First, Form I-360 must be filed with the Immigration Service along with supporting documentation to prove all of the necessary factors. Once the Form I-360 is approved, the person, if in the United States and otherwise eligible, may apply for adjustment of status. If the person is overseas, then he or she can apply for a special immigrant visa classification as a religious worker through the American Consulate after the Form I-360 is approved.
