Understanding Green Card Applications

A Green Card grants lawful permanent residency in the U.S., allowing you to live and work here indefinitely. This is a crucial step to a happy, safe life in this country.

There are several pathways to obtaining a Green Card, including:

Family-Based Immigration –

Sponsorship by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative.

Employment-Based Immigration –

Sponsored by a U.S. employer or through self-petition.

Humanitarian Programs –

Including asylum, refugee status, or special categories like VAWA.

Adjustment of Status –

For individuals already in the U.S. seeking to adjust to permanent residency.

Consular Processing –

Applying for a Green Card while outside the U.S. through a U.S. embassy or consulate.

Each path has its own requirements, timelines, and legal intricacies. At Perliss Law Firm, we tailor our strategy to your unique situation to maximize your chances of success. We're here to help you build the life you deserve in the United States.
