Experienced Southern California Green Card Attorney
If you are currently in the United States on a nonimmigrant visa and have become eligible for lawful permanent residence, the most straightforward way to obtain lawful permanent residence (green card status) is to file to adjust status. Adjustment allows you to obtain permanent residence in the United States without returning to your country of origin.
I am Richard M. Green, an experienced immigration lawyer based in Orange County, California, and serving clients worldwide. If you need assistance obtaining an adjustment of immigration status for yourself or for one of your employees, I can guide you through the process.
Understanding Who Qualifies for Adjustment of Status
In many cases, people who intend to permanently immigrate into the U.S. initially enter the country on nonimmigrant visas. The most common of these are the H1-B and L-1 employment-based visas, the K-1 and K-3 family-based visas, and the F-1 student visa.
If you are already in the U.S. on a temporary visa and are now qualified for permanent status, I can help you file an adjustment of status petition so you can get your green card.
If you have decided that you wish to retain an employee who is in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa, I will work with you and your employee to make the process go as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
There are also some circumstances in which undocumented immigrants are eligible to adjust into green card status. These include marriage to a U.S. citizen and service in the U.S. armed forces during a time of war. I am experienced at assisting clients with these applications.
