How to Apply for a Green Card While Living in Saudi Arabia

Are you living in Saudi Arabia and dreaming of moving permanently to the United States? A U.S. Green Card (Permanent Resident Card) can turn that dream into reality — and at Right Visa Services, we specialize in guiding professionals, students, and families through the process.

Whether you’re in Jeddah or any part of the Kingdom, this step-by-step guide will walk you through how to apply for a Green Card from Saudi Arabia, the documents you need, and how our expert team can help you succeed.


✅ What is a Green Card?

A Green Card allows non-U.S. citizens to live and work permanently in the United States. It can eventually lead to U.S. citizenship and offers numerous benefits like:

  • Long-term residency
  • Employment opportunities
  • Freedom to travel in and out of the U.S.
  • Access to certain educational and government programs

🧭 Green Card Application Process from Saudi Arabia

1. Determine Your Eligibility

The most common categories for Saudi residents include:

  • Employment-Based Green Card (via a U.S. employer)
  • Family Sponsorship
  • DV Lottery Program (Green Card Lottery)
  • Investment or Business Immigration

At Right Visa Services, we analyze your background and qualifications to suggest the most suitable route.


2. Secure a Job Offer or Sponsorship

For employment-based Green Cards, you will typically need:

  • A valid job offer from a U.S.-based employer
  • A Labor Certification (PERM) filed by your employer
  • An approved Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition)

We assist in connecting you with potential employers and preparing your documentation.


3. Submit Your Immigrant Petition

Depending on your case:

  • Form I-130 for family sponsorship
  • Form I-140 for employment
  • Form I-526 for investment-based Green Cards

We help ensure these forms are accurate and complete, reducing the chance of rejection.


4. National Visa Center (NVC) Processing

Once the petition is approved:

  • Your case goes to the National Visa Center
  • You’ll need to pay applicable fees and submit required documents

We offer document preparation & verification services to avoid costly delays.


5. Attend the U.S. Embassy Interview in Saudi Arabia

You’ll be scheduled for an interview at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh or the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah or Dhahran.

We provide:

  • Interview training
  • Embassy appointment scheduling
  • Guidance on medical exams and biometric requirements

6. Receive Your Visa and Enter the U.S.

Once approved, you’ll receive an immigrant visa that allows you to travel to the U.S. and receive your Green Card upon arrival.
