Obtaining a “green card”— indicating lawful permanent residency in the U.S.--is the primary goal of our clients who are planning to enter this country.

If that is your goal, too, please contact our firm today to arrange a consultation and to learn how we can help you.

Having lawful permanent residency enables you to live and work in the U.S indefinitely. But because obtaining permanent residency has become more complicated since 9-11, applicants regularly need help navigating the process.

We can assist you in obtaining permanent residence through the categories (listed below) within two main types of permanent visas:

1. Employment-based immigrant visas

• Immigrants with extraordinary ability in business, arts or sciences
• Managers and Executives of multi-national businesses
• Outstanding professors or researchers
• Immigrants with advanced degrees and performing work in the national interest
• Immigrants with job offers and a Bachelor degree or higher, or work experience
• Religious workers and ministers whose services are required by their non-profit religious organization
• Immigrant investors with substantial funds invested in the U.S.
  

PERM process: Some employment-based applications require you to go through a process called Program Review Electronic Management (PERM). This is a procedure by which the U.S. Department of Labor certifies there is a lack of qualified U.S. workers in your job category. Once the labor shortage is certified you can apply at the CIS level for your immigrant visa. We can help you navigate this procedure as well.

2. Family-based immigrant visas

• You are an immediate relative of U.S. citizens, such as parent, child or spouse
• You are the adult child, married or unmarried, of a U.S. citizen
• You are the spouse or unmarried child of a lawful permanent resident
• You are the brother of sister of a U.S. citizen
• You are being adopted by a U.S. citizen
