Permanent Residency (Green Card)

Overview

A green card allows you to live and work permanently in the United States. There are several routes to one, most often through a close family member or an employer, and choosing the right route matters.

Applications are document-heavy and mistakes can cause long delays. We help you prepare carefully from the start.

This may be for you if

• You have a spouse, parent, or child who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• An employer wants to sponsor you
• You are in the U.S. and want to know whether you can adjust status
• You are abroad and need to understand your options

How we can help

• Evaluating which category you may qualify under
• Preparing petitions and applications and gathering supporting documents
• Preparing you for your interview
• Addressing complicating issues such as prior status problems and exploring waivers where available

Common questions

How long does the process take?

It varies widely by category, country of birth, and agency workload. We can give you a realistic picture after reviewing your case.

Can I stay in the U.S. while my application is pending?

It depends on your current status and how you apply. Leaving the country without proper permission can create serious problems, so speak with an attorney before you travel.
