Your Gateway To A New Life In The U.S.

Earning these rights can be complicated and lengthy, but we can help you pursue a green card and experience the many benefits for yourself.
Understanding Your Visa Options
Before diving into the green card process, it is important to understand the types of visas that can apply to your unique situation. Some of the more common types include:
- A Visa: Diplomatic and government officials, and their employees, do not need to apply to change their status if seeking education.
- E Visa: International traders and investors.
- G Visa: Representatives to international organizations and their employees.
- H Visa: Temporary workers.
- I Visa: Representatives of foreign media.
- J Visa: Exchange visitors.
- L Visa: Intracompany transferees.
- F and M Visas: Academic and vocational students can attend school without changing their status, though post-secondary education requires a status change.
It’s also vital to note that individuals admitted under categories such as the Visa Waiver Program, D nonimmigrant visa (crew members), C nonimmigrant visa (in transit), TWOV (transit without visa), K nonimmigrant visa (fiancé of U.S. citizen), or S nonimmigrant visa (informant on terrorism or organized crime) may not apply for a change of status.
Expanding Your Horizons As A Green Card Holder
Green card holders have the right to petition for their immediate family members to join them here in the U.S. for a number of reasons. If an immigrant is the victim of battery or abuse, they may be able to seek a green card through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and minors who are the victim of abuse can seek a green card through Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status.
