U.S. Green Card Lawyer
If you are looking for a way to receive a green card (lawful permanent residency) in the United States, the help of a qualified and trustworthy lawyer can be priceless. It is important to note that this is different from a visa which is temporary by nature (See Non-Immigrant Visas). An individual may only be eligible for a US green card if certain legal requirements are met. An immigration lawyer can help you identify the criteria which must be met and make sure that all your conditions are diligently followed so the entire application process goes as smoothly as possible. Ultimately, the advice and guidance of a green card attorney can help ensure that you expend less energy and money if your application is denied or if you are ineligible. There are several different paths to a “US green card”. For instance, an individual may be sponsored by a family member or an employer in order to obtain a US green card. Moreover, people who have been granted asylum or refugee status in the U.S. may also be eligible to adjust their immigrant status to one of a permanent resident (green card). There can even be an option for a Diversity Visa Lottery Program (USA green card lottery). An immigration attorney from the Law Offices of William A. Proetta can review the circumstances of your individual case and recommend available options. We assist clients throughout New Jersey including Edison, Jersey City, Woodbridge, Elizabeth, Newark and Perth Amboy. Contact our office today at (732) 450-8300 for a free consultation with an experienced lawyer.
