A: It is not possible to obtain a green card through a process of working for a government organization or by moving to another state for work for a duration of one year and paying $15,000. This information is likely a scam and should not be trusted.

The process for obtaining a green card through employment typically involves having a job offer from a U.S. employer and the sponsorship of that employer through the employment-based immigration process. This process is complex and requires the assistance of a qualified immigration lawyer or immigration professional.

It is important to be cautious of any organizations or individuals claiming to have a special process for obtaining a green card, as many of these claims are scams and can result in significant financial loss or negative immigration consequences.

A: I'm sorry, but the information you've received is not accurate. There is no such program or process that allows individuals to obtain a green card by simply applying to a governmental organization, moving to another state for work, and paying a fee of $15,000.

The process of obtaining a green card is based on a complex set of rules and regulations that are established by the U.S. government, and the requirements and procedures for obtaining a green card can vary depending on the individual's specific circumstances and qualifications.

Some common ways to obtain a green card include sponsorship by a family member or employer, through the Diversity Visa lottery program, or as a refugee or asylee. However, each of these options has specific eligibility criteria and application requirements.

If you are interested in obtaining a green card, it's recommended that you consult with a qualified immigration attorney or a reputable immigration organization for guidance and advice on the specific options and requirements that may be available to you based on your individual circumstances.
