Becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident of the U.S.
Obtaining a green card makes an immigrant a lawful permanent resident of the United States. It does not, however, make you a citizen. Green card holders are allowed to live in the United States without the time constraints and other conditions imposed by most immigrant visas.
Immigrant visas can be issued in many different situations. There are specific rules and processes that must be followed in the filing of an immigrant petition and it is important to have an experienced immigration lawyer there to help you. At the suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania law firm of Solnick & Levin, LLC, we help clients throughout Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey to navigate all types of complicated immigration issues.
Helping You Through a Complicated Process
In the majority of cases, people who want to become immigrants need to be sponsored by a family member who is current U.S. resident or green card holder. An established U.S. employer can also sponsor you to come to, or remain in, America for employment. The government may also sponsor immigrants for reasons such as asylum.
If you already have a visa, we can help you apply for an adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident. Our lead immigration attorney, Christina Crudden, Esquire, works directly with each client to complete the necessary application forms and consular processing. Our goal is to help our clients reach a favorable outcome in every case.
