Find the right immigration path for your case.
Everyone’s journey to a green card is different. Choose the situation that best describes yours. We’ll explain who qualifies, how we help, and what to expect.
Adjustment of Status After an Approved Family Petition
If your I-130 family petition has already been filed, or approved, you may be able to complete the green card process without leaving the U.S. This is called Adjustment of Status (AOS), and it allows you to apply for permanent residency while staying with your family.
Who’s Eligible:
- Individuals already in the U.S. with a pending or approved I-130 filed by a spouse, parent, or child.
- You must have entered the U.S. legally.
How We Help:
- We confirm your eligibility and visa category
- We prepare and file Form I-485 and supporting documents
- We help with work and travel permit applications
- We guide you through the USCIS interview process
- We'll respond to any requests from immigration (RFEs)
Benefits:
- Stay in the U.S. while your green card is processing
- Apply for a work permit and advance parole (travel document)
- No need to return to your home country for a visa interview
Estimated Timeframe:
- 10 - 14 months depending on your case and USCIS location
Green Card Through Marriage While Living in the U.S.
If you’re married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and entered the country legally, you may be eligible to apply for a green card through Adjustment of Status—without leaving the U.S.
Who’s Eligible:
- Foreign spouses of U.S. citizens or green card holders who entered the U.S. legally.
- You must be legally married and living in the U.S.
How We Help:
- We prepare and file Forms I-130 and I-485 together
- We help you apply for a work permit and travel document
- We guide you and your spouse through the marriage interview
- We assist with complex cases (overstays, status gaps, prior entries)

From Conditional to Permanent Green Card (Form I-751)
If you received a 2-year conditional green card through marriage, you must file Form I-751 to remove those conditions and receive your 10-year green card. This step is required to keep your status.
Who’s Eligible:
- Individuals with a conditional green card based on marriage.
- You must file during the 90-day window before your card expires—or apply with a waiver if the marriage has ended.
How We Help:
- We prepare and file Form I-751 with strong supporting evidence
- We help you apply jointly or with a waiver, if divorced or separated
- We'll guide you through interview preparation, if required
- We respond to USCIS requests or delays
Benefits:
- Keep your legal status and avoid losing your green card
- Open path to citizenship after removal of conditions
- Legal protection even if your relationship has changed
Estimated Timeframe:
- 12 - 18 months depending on case type and USCIS processing speed
Adjustment of Status as a Form of Deportation Defense
If you’re in removal proceedings but have a valid family relationship or other legal basis to stay, you may be able to apply for a green card through the court system. This is called Adjustment of Status in Court—and it can stop your deportation.
Who’s Eligible:
- Individuals in immigration court who have an approved I-130 (or other qualifying petition) and entered the U.S. lawfully.
- In some cases, a waiver may be available.
How We Help:
- We develop a personalized legal strategy for your court case
- We coordinate AOS filings with your family petition
- We'll represent you in immigration court
- We'll handle interview prep, evidence, and legal arguments
- We'll file motions or waivers if needed
Benefits:
- Fight removal while applying for a green card
- Stay with your family during proceedings
- Legal path to permanent residency and work authorization
Estimated Timeframe:
- Varies by court backlog and case complexity, typically 12 - 24 months
Switching from Consular Processing to Adjustment of Status
If you planned to apply for your green card through a U.S. consulate abroad—but are now legally in the U.S.—you may be able to adjust your status here instead. This option can save time, stress, and international travel.
Who’s Eligible:
- Individuals with a pending or approved immigrant petition who are now in the U.S. with valid entry.
- You must meet eligibility for Adjustment of Status.
How We Help:
- We confirm whether you qualify to adjust status inside the U.S.
- We'll transition your case from consular to AOS, if eligible
- We prepare and file the I-485 application and supporting documents
- We'll coordinate timing with your current status and avoid gaps
- We'll guide you through work/travel permits and interview prep
Benefits:
- Stay in the U.S. while your green card is processing
- Avoid the risks and delays of consular appointments abroad
- Get work and travel authorization while you wait
Estimated Timeframe:
- 10 - 14 months depending on status, timing, and USCIS location
