Houston Green Card Attorney
SE HABLA ESPAÑOL
Texas U.S. Permanent Residency Attorney
When you obtain a green card, you become a lawful permanent resident of the United States, but not a citizen. Becoming a citizen happens through a process called naturalization. Once you have received your green card, you are allowed to stay in the United States as long as you wish. You are not bound by the time constraints or limitations that come with a visa.
There are specific requirements that must be met and rules that must be followed in the process of obtaining a green card. It is important to have a Houston green card lawyer who understands the process and will work to ensure that everything goes smoothly. The Law Office of Cara Wilkins represents clients throughout the greater Houston area and throughout the United States in a broad range of complex immigration matters.
Helping You Through The Application Process
If an individual has a relative, spouse, or child who is 21 years of age or older, assistance can be provided to that family member in applying for permanent resident status in the United States. In many cases, the entire permanent residency process can be completed in the U.S. In other cases, if the individual entered the country illegally, it may be possible to initiate the process in the U.S. and complete it through counselor processing in their home country. If the individual is in their home country and wishes to seek permanent resident status in the U.S., assistance can be provided to complete the application through consular processing. Every step of the application process will be personally handled, ensuring that everything possible is being done to obtain a positive result.
Once the individual has their green card, they have the right to sponsor family members to come to the United States on family-based visas. The family-based visa process can be very complex, and even a slight error can result in considerable delays. Assistance can be provided to complete the necessary forms and work with the individual to ensure that the request is submitted properly.
