There are several pathways to a green card: through family (spouse, parent, sibling), through employment (job offer, special skills), through asylum or refugee status, or through special programs. The process typically involves filing a petition (I-130 or I-140), waiting for visa availability if needed, and then filing for adjustment of status (I-485) or consular processing. Our attorneys evaluate your specific situation and guide you through the appropriate pathway.
