Family and employment are two of the most common motivations for people to immigrate to the United States. We have learned from our experience in immigration law that one of the most sensitive areas of immigration law is how it affects families.

There are certain elements you need to know before understanding this matter-

Green cards: A green card is a legal document that allows a foreign citizen to live and work permanently in the United States. You can apply to get a green card in two ways. Either if you have a family member who is a United States citizen or have sponsorship from an employer.

Visa: Although a visa does not allow admission into the United States on its own, it is an essential step in visiting the country. Visas are issued for various reasons, including tourism, medical treatment, research, and work. 

Citizenship: Obtaining citizenship in the United States can be a time-consuming and challenging procedure. We assist clients in navigating the application process’s bureaucracy to alleviate the stress associated with such an application.
