Green Card/Legal Permanent Residence

A Green Card (permanent resident) grants an individual authorization to live and work within the U.S. on a permanent basis. Most individuals are sponsored by a family member or by an employer in the U.S.

Citizenship Through Naturalization

Naturalization is the next step in the immigration process following Permanent Residence. Naturalization is the complex process by which a foreign national who is a green card holder can become a U.S. citizen.

Removal of Conditions

A petition to remove the conditions of a 2 year conditional resident card should be filed within the 90 days prior to the two year anniversary of when the permanent resident card was issued. The result of failing to file during the 90 day period prior to the two year anniversary will result in the loss of immigration status.

Extreme Hardship Waiver

If a person is inadmissible to the United States, their visa application will be denied. Specific inadmissibility grounds can be waived by an immigration officer. When visa applicants consult with an immigration attorney prior to submitting the visa application, they can be prepared with an appropriate immigration waiver before the initial visa interview.

 

K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas

The K-1 fiancé visa allows a foreign national to enter the United States for up to 90 days for the purpose of marrying a United States citizen (fiancés of green card holders do not qualify for a K-1 visa). The couple must have met within the two years prior to the fiancé visa application, unless waived by immigration officials. 

H-1B Work Visa

The H-1B visa is a temporary non-immigrant work visa for people who wish to perform services in a specialty occupation or services of exceptional merit and ability. The H1B visa requires a high degree of specialized knowledge. Generally at least a 4-year US Bachelor's degree is required or equivalent in work experience.
