The Green Card is issued upon approval of permanent residence
status by the USCIS. Permanent residence status confers many
benefits, including the ability to work in the US, travel abroad for
limited period of time and return without a US visa, and sponsor
immediate family members for green cards of their own. It is
possible to remain a permanent resident indefinitely, although most
see this status as an intermediate step to citizenship. Permanent
residence through petition is generally achieved as a result of
petition by a close relative, an employer, or (in some cases)
oneself (i.e., a "self-petition"). Permanent
residence may also be obtained through a process not involving
petition, such as through the diversity visa ("green card
lottery") program, or through asylee status. In all cases,
permanent residence is achieved either through a process termed
"adjustment of status" (if the applicant processes in the
US), or through consular processing at a US mission abroad. Our
services: We will counsel you regarding your, your relative's,
or your employee's eligibility for a green card. We will
provide assistance and guidance in obtaining the necessary evidence,
preparing the paperwork, submission to the US, communicating with
government agencies on your behalf, and monitoring the case until
conclusion.
