Dealing With Delay or Denial of Your Green Card
For some people, the path to a green card is a smooth one -- everything gets approved, and in a timely manner.

And in the end, their green card (lawful permanent residence) may be denied altogether. Find out the common reasons for such issues, and what you can do to deal with them and successfully claim your U.S. green card.
