Green cards and permanent residence

A green card lets you live and work in the United States permanently. We focus on employment-based categories for workers, investors and the businesses that sponsor them. We help you choose the right path and file it correctly.

When to call us

Immigration is federal law. Fees, forms and processing times change, so we confirm current details with you.

I am a professional, executive or investor

We review employment-based categories that may fit your experience.

My employer may sponsor me

We walk through the employer's role and the steps involved.

I have a problem with my case

We review denials, delays and requests for evidence.

What we do

Immigration is federal law. We focus on employment-based and business-related matters. We do not handle removal (deportation) defense.

  • Employment-based petitions
  • Labor certification and sponsorship for employers
  • Adjustment of status or consular processing
  • Responding to requests for evidence and denials

How it works

Timelines depend on the category and agency workload: from about a year to many years, depending on the category and the applicant's country.

  1. STEP 1

    Eligibility

    We review your history and the available categories.

  2. STEP 2

    Petition

    We prepare and file the petition and supporting documents.

  3. STEP 3

    Application

    We file the application once a visa is available.

  4. STEP 4

    Interview and approval

    We prepare you for the interview and follow up.

How we charge

We work on a flat-fee basis and quote the fee in writing before work begins, so you know the cost up front. Government and filing fees are separate.
