There are many reasons why a green card application may be denied. Some of the most common reasons include:
-The applicant is not eligible for a green card - Many people are misinformed about the green card process and apply for benefits that they do not qualify for. For example, a sibling of a US Citizen may file an adjustment of status application because their I-130 was approved, without realizing that their priority date is not current.
-The applicant previously filed a frivolous application for asylum - Applicants who "knowingly make a frivolous application for asylum will be permanently ineligible for any benefits under the Immigration and Nationality Act." Many people file applications for asylum to stay in the United States and obtain a work permit, even if they do not qualify for asylum. If you have filed a frivolous asylum application, it is likely that your green card application will be denied.
-The applicant has been convicted of a crime - Some crimes make you inadmissible or ineligible for a green card. Examples include, but are not limited to, crimes of moral turpitude, aggravated felonies, and serious drug offenses.
-The applicant has lied on their application - Lying on your green card application can have dire consequences. Some lies are more serious than others but any willful misrepresentation can make you inadmissible. Even if you are able to get a green card, if it is later discovered that you lied, you will be subject to removal proceedings and may
-The applicant has a history of visa violations - If you have a history of visa violations, it will likely make it more difficult to obtain a green card. Examples of visa violations include overstaying your visa, working without authorization, and entering the US without a valid visa. Some violations are waivable for immediate relatives but others will not be so lucky.
-The applicant is considered a security risk - If you are considered a security risk, your green card application may be denied. This can happen for a variety of reasons such as having ties to a terrorist organization or being involved in espionage.

-The applicant is likely to become a public charge - If it is determined that you are likely to become a public charge, your green card application may be denied. This means that the US government believes that you will rely on public benefits such as food stamps and Medicaid. Factors that are considered include your income, employment history, health, and family situation.
-The applicant is subject to the two-year home residency requirement - If you came on a J-1 or J-2 visa and are subject to the two-year home residency requirement, you must return to your home country for two years before you can apply for a green card. This requirement applies to certain nonimmigrants who have received funding from their home government or have worked in a sensitive occupation. There are some exceptions and waivers available but they can sometimes be difficult to obtain.
