Assistance Obtaining A Green Card And Other Services

Whether your family member is currently abroad or already in the U.S. on a temporary visa, I will diligently work to help him or her obtain legal status to live and work permanently in the United States. A green card can be obtained through a family member in the following ways:

  1. Marriage to a U.S. citizen: If a foreign national is married to a U.S. citizen, he or she may obtain a green card through his or her spouse. If you have been married for two years or less, the green card will be granted on a conditional basis. The conditions will be removed through a joint petition 90 days prior to the expiration of the two-year period. This is referred to as “removal of conditions.”
  2. Family-based petitions: Parents, children, spouses, citizens and green card holders can petition to bring their foreign national family members to the U.S. through green cards.

In addition to assisting clients with obtaining legal permanent residence for their family members, I offer the following immigration services:

  • U.S. citizenship: If you are a U.S. green card holder, you can apply to become a citizen of the United States if you are eligible, meeting requirements including residency, knowledge of the English language and good moral character. Contact me to learn more.
  • Fiancé(e) visas: If you are a U.S. citizen engaged to be married to a foreign national, you can petition for a fiancé(e) visa, which will allow your fiancé(e) to enter the U.S. for 90 days during which time you must be married. After the marriage, the foreign national will then apply for a green card through his or her new spouse.
  • Extension of stay visas: Visitors to the U.S. with current visas who wish to stay beyond the time period allowed by their visas may petition for extensions.
