Understanding Green Cards

If you are looking to live in the United States permanently, you may have a few different options available. Depending on your specific circumstances—your country of origin, any unique skills or experience that may be valuable, your family situation, and your long-term goals—the pathway to permanent residency can vary greatly. At our firm, we help individuals navigate their choices so they find a route best suited for them with the greatest chances for success.

Whatever the reasons for coming to the United States may be, if you or your loved ones hope to live and work in this country without the possibility of being sent back to your country of origin, you will need to obtain lawful permanent resident status—more commonly known as a Green Card. Taking its colloquial name from the color of the document that is issued upon approval for lawful permanent status, a Green Card means that you are legally permitted to live and work in the United States for the rest of your life. You can leave and return to the country whenever you like, and a Green Card can only be revoked in certain situations, such as if you are convicted of a serious crime. Obtaining a Green Card is also a major step toward full U.S. citizenship.

Family Immigration Attorney in North Texas

Many individuals seek permanent residency in the United States so they can be reunited with their friends and family members who have already earned lawful permanent residence or U.S. citizenship. Citizens of the United States may file petitions for visas and Green Cards for their spouse, child, fiancé, or other relatives. Lawful permanent residents may also file petitions on behalf of immediate relatives, helping them obtain permission to live permanently in the United States as well.

The steps that must be followed to apply for a Green Card are often daunting, and marriage-based applications are closely inspected by immigration officials to ensure that people do not enter into fraudulent marriages in order to circumvent the standard immigration procedures. During this process, our attorney can help you fulfill all of the required criteria while meeting all your legal requirements and avoiding any violations or errors.

Assistance With Adjustment of Status

At the Law Office of Jae Lee, we also help those whose situation has changed since their arrival in the United States. It is not uncommon for foreign nationals who came to the United States on a non-immigrant visa to decide that they wish to remain in the U.S. and enjoy the opportunities offered by life in this country. For example, if you entered the United States on a student visa to attend an American university, and you have realized that you would like to stay and build a life in the U.S., you will need to apply for an Adjustment of Status in order to obtain a Green Card and remain in the country. With our extensive experience and resources, we can help you complete the adjustment of status process and make sure you will be able to achieve your goal of living permanently in the United States.
