Legal Permanent Residency – “Green Cards”

You can get a green card or US permanent residency through your marriage, family or employment. With U.S. legal permanent residency or ‘green cards’ you can live and work in the U.S. permanently.

Many of our clients get green cards by marriage, family or employment-based visa petitions. We have helped clients with many of the following immigrant visa petitions:

Here are some commonly used visas that we have processed for our clients:

Employment Based Immigration

  • Eb-1: Foreign Nationals of Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors and Researchers, and Multinational Executives and Managers. If you fall into this category, you can apply for legal permanent residency and do not need to file a labor certification application.
  • EB-2: Workers with an exceptional ability in the sciences, arts or business, or Workers with advanced degrees. If you are classified in this group, you will need to have a job offer from a potential employer who will file for PERM labor certification on your behalf.
  • EB-3: Skilled Workers and Professionals. If you are a worker with a bachelor’s degree, or a skilled worker with at least two years of training and experience, you can apply for legal permanent residency if you have a job offer and your potential employer completes the PERM labor certification process.
  • EB-4: Special Immigrant Visas for Religious Workers If you are a minister of religion you are eligible to apply for permanent residency.

Your Green Card Through Family & Marriage

You may obtain legal permanent residency through your US citizen parent or spouse, fiancé(e) or your child 21 years or older. You may also apply for your green card or permanent residency through your Legal Permanent Resident spouse or parent.

We can help you apply for your green card in the US with an I-485 Adjustment of Status, Fiancé visas, or abroad with Consular Processing depending on your situation.
