The Immigration Process
One of the first steps in the immigration process is acquiring a government-issued visa. Once you are in this country legally, you can request a change of status. A permanent legal resident can also request to sponsor a family member, which is another way to initiate the immigration process. You will need to acquire a green card (permanent legal resident) before you can petition to become a citizen. Our firm can discuss the best path for you or a family member to take regarding immigration, and help prepare the paperwork that will be needed for your application. We are intimately familiar with immigration laws, and can help you achieve your immigration objectives.
