Green Cards / Adjustment Of Status
There are two methods for obtaining legal, permanent residency in the U.S.; individuals can stay in the U.S. and apply for an adjustment of status, or leave the U.S. and go through consular processing. We try to keep these types of cases in the U.S., so we can maintain control of your immigration issues, but our process will depend upon your circumstances. For example, if you made illegal entry into the U.S. after 1998, you may have no choice but to go abroad to process your petition. However, if you entered legally you may qualify for adjustment of status in the United States and qualify for a green card in as little as four months.
The only way to determine your best course of action is to take advantage of our free, initial legal consultation. Contact us to schedule an appointment with our San Antonio lawyers for adjustment of status.
Texas Attorney For Obtaining Green Cards
The most prevalent methods to obtain a green card are:
- Being married to a U.S. citizen
- Being a parent or child to a U.S. citizen
- Being an employee of a U.S. corporation
A lucky few may get the opportunity to apply for a green card by being randomly selected to apply through the Green Card Lottery. Under specific circumstances, an immigrant may also acquire permanent citizenship by being granted asylum or refugee status by the United States government.
