Frequently asked questions
Information is general, is not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
How do I know if I may qualify for a green card?+
Eligibility depends on family, employment, asylum, or other circumstances. A consultation allows individual evaluation.
How can I bring a family member to the United States?+
Citizens and permanent residents may petition for certain relatives. The process depends on the relationship, immigration status, and country of origin.
How long does an immigration process take?+
Timing varies by benefit, facts, and agency backlogs.
What happens if my visa application is denied?+
Depending on the reason, an appeal, motion, or new application may be possible. Counsel should review the decision before recommending a path.
Can I work while waiting for permanent residence?+
It depends on status and eligibility for employment authorization. Not every category permits work while a matter is pending.
What should I do after receiving a Notice to Appear?+
Seek counsel promptly to review deadlines, defenses, and next steps.
Can a company sponsor me?+
Certain visas and green cards allow sponsorship and have specific requirements.
What is the difference between a visa and permanent residence?+

Do I need a lawyer to file an application?+
Representation is not required for every filing, but the law is complex and mistakes may carry consequences. A consultation can clarify risks and options.
