If you are an immediate relative of a US citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident (get a Green Card) based on your family relationship. Generally, you must have an immediate relative who can petition for you, i.e.Green card holders do not require visas to visit The Bahamas. If your spouse is inside the United States, multiple petitions will need to be submitted to USCIS. Upon arriving in The Islands of The Bahamas, everyone must fill out and sign an immigration form, keeping a portion of the card in hand until departing. Fill out appropriate form. Attach completed application form to supporting documents. For a cruise that starts and ends in the same U.S. port (known as a closed-loop cruise), U.S. citizens generally do not need a green card. The Nassau County Office of Hispanic Affairs is now offering an online process to apply for the renewal of the Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). The spouse and children of the investor may be included in the application at no additional cost.
