Re: Immigration

it will depend on a few things, such as whether you entered the country lawfully or unlawfully; whether you have ever had a deportation order; whether you have been convicted of any crimes, among other things. Feel free to contact my office for an appointment. the initial consultation fee is just $80.

Re: Immigration

You would achieve permanent residence without conditions, assuming you are admissible. This is done in one of two ways: adjustment of status in the U.S. if you entered legally or if not but had a petition filed on your behalf before April 30, 2001. If you entered illegally and didn't file have an immigrant petition or labor certification filed for you before that date, or if you entered the U.S. illegally after that date, you must visa process from abroad and have a waiver of unlawful presence approved. Those are discretionary, meaning they're not all approved just because you're married to a U.S. citizen.
