ABOUT THE GREEN CARD
​
What Does A Marriage Green Card Do?
A US Green Card (lawful permanent residence) allows you to live and work in the United States permanently, as well as travel freely in and out of the country. You will eventually be eligible to apply for US citizenship.
​
How Do I Qualify?
There are many ways to qualify for a US Green Card. The most common ways people qualify are through employment, family connections, the diversity visa program, refugee or asylee status, or marriage to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident. We specialize in Green Cards for foreign nationals who are married to US citizens or lawful permanent residents. Even if you fall into one of the broad categories above, everyone's situation is unique, so it is best to speak with an immigration lawyer to verify your eligibility and ensure that you submit a strong application.
​
Where Do I Have to Live to Get a Green Card?
If you are currently outside the United States, you can apply for the Green Card at the US embassy in the country where you are residing. If you are currently in the United States, you can apply for the Green Card with USCIS in a process called "adjustment of status" (AOS).
​
Our Approach
We work directly with you through the entire process.
​
-
If you are already in the US and going through the adjustment of status (AOS) process:
-
We will complete all forms for you (I-130, I-130A, I-864, G-1145, I-485, I-944, I-765, and I-131), help you gather the proper supporting documentation, and mail you a complete application to simply sign and submit to USCIS.
-
We will include an application for a work permit (EAD) and a travel document, so you can begin working and traveling as soon as possible.
-
We will monitor the status of your case and assist you in responding to any requests for evidence (RFE).
-
Finally, we will prepare you for your interview at the embassy or with USCIS.
-
​
-
If you are currently residing abroad:
-
​We will complete the I-130 petition and I-864 affidavit of support to be submitted to USCIS with all supporting documentation.
-
We will follow up with USCIS and the National Visa Center (NVC) to ensure your petition is approved as soon as possible.
-
Upon approval of the petition, we will prepare the DS-260 for you and help you gather all of the required supporting documentation.
-
Finally, we will prepare you for your interview at the US embassy where you are applying.
