Green Card Pathways We Handle

A green card grants lawful permanent resident status, allowing the holder to live and work in the United States permanently and, after meeting residency requirements, to pursue naturalization. Which pathway applies to you depends on your relationship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, your employment situation, or other circumstances in your case.

Family-Based Green Cards

Spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens qualify as immediate relatives and face no annual visa cap. Other family members, including siblings and married children of citizens, fall under family preference categories subject to annual numerical limits and priority date backlogs. We handle marriage-based petitions, petitions for spouses and children of lawful permanent residents, and cases across the family preference categories.

Employment-Based Green Cards

Employment-based green cards are organized into preference categories from EB-1 through EB-5, based on job type, qualifications, and employer sponsorship. Many EB-2 and EB-3 cases require permanent labor certification (PERM) filed with the Department of Labor before an immigrant petition can move forward. We also handle investor-based cases, including EB-5. Whether you’re an employer sponsoring a worker or an individual navigating a self-petition, we can guide you through the process.

Humanitarian & Other Pathways

Certain humanitarian protections, including U Visa and VAWA relief, can create a pathway to permanent residence. We handle these cases and can assess how asylum or other immigration history may intersect with a green card application.
