We guide you through every step of the permanent residency process — from family-based petitions and employment sponsorship to adjustment of status and consular processing. Your path to permanent life in America starts here.
A green card — officially known as a Permanent Resident Card — grants you the right to live and work permanently in the United States. As a lawful permanent resident, you can travel freely, work for any employer, sponsor certain family members, and eventually apply for U.S. citizenship.
The green card process can be complex, with strict deadlines, extensive documentation requirements, and changing immigration policies. Having an experienced immigration attorney by your side dramatically increases your chances of approval and helps you avoid costly mistakes that could delay or derail your case.
No visa renewals. No employer restrictions. Full freedom to build your life in America.
After 3–5 years as a permanent resident, you may be eligible for U.S. citizenship.
There are several ways to obtain permanent residency in the United States. We help you determine which pathway is right for your situation.
U.S. citizens and permanent residents can petition for certain family members to obtain green cards. This includes spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens have no annual visa cap, making this one of the fastest pathways to permanent residency.
Skilled workers, professionals, and investors can obtain permanent residency through employer sponsorship or self-petition. Categories range from priority workers (EB-1) to skilled and unskilled workers (EB-3), with options for those with extraordinary abilities.
If you are already in the United States, you may be able to apply for your green card without leaving the country. Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) allows eligible individuals to transition from a temporary visa or other status to permanent residency while remaining in the U.S.
For applicants living outside the United States, consular processing allows you to obtain your immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. Once approved and you enter the U.S., you receive your green card by mail.
Our proven 5-step process takes the stress out of your green card application and maximizes your chances of approval.
We review your immigration history, family situation, and employment background to determine which green card pathway gives you the best chance of success. This consultation is completely free.
We develop a customized legal strategy for your case and prepare all required forms, petitions, and supporting evidence. We provide you with a clear checklist of documents needed.
We file your petition with USCIS and monitor its progress closely. If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE), we respond promptly with compelling additional documentation.
We thoroughly prepare you for your USCIS interview or consular appointment. We conduct mock interviews, review potential questions, and accompany you on the day of your interview.
Once your green card is approved, we help you understand your rights and responsibilities as a permanent resident. We also advise you on the path to U.S. citizenship when you are ready.
Many people are eligible for permanent residency and don't even know it. Here are some of the most common qualifying categories.
Spouses, children, parents, and siblings of U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Skilled workers, professionals, executives, researchers, and those with extraordinary abilities.
Those granted asylum or refugee status are eligible to apply for a green card after one year.
Abused spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
SIJS juveniles, religious workers, and certain other special immigrant categories.
Winners of the annual Diversity Visa Lottery (DV Program) from eligible countries.
Processing times vary significantly depending on the category. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (spouses, unmarried children under 21, parents) typically have the shortest wait times, often 12–24 months. Employment-based and other family preference categories can take several years depending on the visa bulletin and country of origin. Our attorneys will give you a realistic timeline during your free consultation.
Yes, in most cases. If you file for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485), you can simultaneously apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that allows you to work for any employer while your green card is being processed. You can also apply for Advance Parole to travel internationally during this time.
Adjustment of Status (AOS) is for individuals already present in the United States who want to become permanent residents without leaving the country. Consular Processing is for individuals outside the U.S. who apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. The right option depends on your current location, immigration status, and specific circumstances. We will help you determine the best path for your situation.
Government filing fees vary by category but typically range from $1,000 to $2,500 or more when you include the petition, adjustment application, biometrics, and medical exam. Attorney fees are separate and depend on the complexity of your case. During your free consultation, we provide a transparent breakdown of all expected costs with no hidden fees.
