About Adjustment Of Status
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a complex bureaucracy. My extensive familiarity with the regulations and procedures enables us to speed up your petition and confidently address any legal issues regarding your existing visa or adjustment application.
Fiancée Or Family Petitions
If you obtained a fiancée visa and married in the U.S., or your spouse entered on a K3 visa or visitor visa, we can help your fiancée or spouse file for adjustment of status. They must obtain employment authorization. To switch to permanent resident status (green card), it is an approximate processing time of four to six months. If you have been married less than two years, the USCIS will grant Conditional Resident status. Before the expiration of the two years, it is recommended that the person apply 90 days prior to the expiration of the temporary green card to obtain the legal permanent resident card. The spouse can apply to have the conditions removed and obtain a permanent green card. To request removal of conditions, you must be able to submit proof of the validity of your marriage, such as joint bank statements, joint purchase agreements, certificates for births of children born within the marriage, etc.
Family Members
- If you are a U.S. citizen, your parents, siblings and children (married or unmarried) can apply for green cards if they have a valid family visa.
- If you are a permanent resident, only your spouse and unmarried child under 21 can apply for green cards.
- Family-based green cards can be either unlimited or subject to quotas, depending on the country of origin. We can explain the restrictions and probable wait time for your specific situation.
Employment-Based Green Cards
Adjustment of status from nonimmigrant to immigrant typically takes longer, based on USCIS annual quotas. Typically, you must have worked for the employer for a period of four years to be eligible for a green card — the more specialized your skills are, the higher your priority will be. We assist in the Labor Certification process and filing of I-140 petitions.
Extensions And Renewals
- H-1B work visa or family-based visa extension, or green card renewal
- Extension of your visitor visa (B-1, B-2) for business, pleasure, or medical travel in the U.S.; if your I-94 card has expired, and you have not overstayed more than 180 days, we can help file for a replacement card
