Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Eligibility Criteria for a Green Card?

Eligibility for a Green Card can vary based on several factors, including family ties, employment status, and other qualifications. Generally, applicants might qualify through family-sponsored options, employment-based avenues, or specific categories like asylum or refugee status. Navigating these criteria can be complex, especially with changes in immigration policy. Our team ensures all necessary documentation and evidence are meticulously compiled and submitted to meet eligibility requirements. We delve into specific qualifications such as priority dates in employment-based categories, understanding sponsorship requirements in family cases, and constantly monitor policy shifts that may affect your application preferences or outcomes. Get in touch with a qualified green card attorney for more information.
