Long Island residents apply for green cards through USCIS. Depending on the category, the process typically involves filing Form I-130 (petition for relative) or I-140 (employment petition), followed by Form I-485 (adjustment of status) if the applicant is in the U.S. USCIS interviews for Nassau County residents are typically held at the New York City Field Office (26 Federal Plaza) or a Garden City satellite office. Our attorneys guide every step.
Long Island's large immigrant communities from Central America, the Caribbean, Latin America, South Asia, and East Asia commonly pursue: family-based green cards (especially spousal, parent, and sibling petitions); employment-based green cards (EB-2 NIW for professionals, EB-3 for skilled workers); and marriage-based green cards. Cancellation of Removal cases are also common for Long Island's longstanding undocumented populations. We handle all categories.
For U.S. citizens petitioning an immediate relative spouse, the I-485 adjustment of status process in New York currently takes approximately 12–24 months from filing to approval. Conditional green cards (2-year) are issued for marriages less than 2 years old. The I-751 petition to remove conditions is filed 90 days before the 2-year anniversary. We manage the entire process for Long Island married couples.
Yes. Employers in Nassau and Suffolk County can sponsor qualified employees for employment-based green cards through the PERM labor certification process (EB-2 or EB-3) or through direct I-140 petition for EB-1 extraordinary ability categories. Long Island has a large healthcare, education, and corporate sector where employer-sponsored green cards are common. We work with both employers and individual applicants.
It depends on your specific situation. Options may include Cancellation of Removal (10 continuous years + qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR family member + extraordinary hardship showing), U visa (if you were a crime victim), VAWA (domestic violence victims), family-based adjustment (if you have an immediate relative petitioner and entered legally), or DACA renewal. Long Island has many long-term undocumented residents who have relief options they don't know about. A free case evaluation can identify your options.
