Family-Based Green Cards

One of the most common ways to obtain a green card is through family-based immigration. U.S. citizens or green card holders can sponsor immediate or qualified family members. Immigration lawyers will work with clients to determine their eligibility for family sponsorship as well as guide them through the process of obtaining the necessary documentation. 

Employment-Based Green Cards

Employment-based immigration is another option for receiving a green card. Employers can sponsor foreign national employees for a green card, that being said, the process is extremely complex, and the individual has to meet several eligibility requirements. Immigration law services will work with you to determine your eligibility for employment-based green cards. 

Diversity Lottery

Diversity lottery provides a limited number of green cards to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S. In order to be eligible for this type of green card, you must have a high school education or equivalent, or two years of work experience in a qualifying occupation. 

Refugee or Asylum Status

Individuals who have been granted refugee or asylum status are eligible for a green card after one year of residency in the U.S. Immigration lawyers will stay up-to-date on changes to immigration law and regulations while helping clients determine the best path forward.
