Re: Applying for a green card

You are subject to a final order of removal. You will need to get the USICE's consent to reopen your case for adjustment of status by way of a "Joint motion to reopen." While your USC husband can file a visa petition for you, in order for you to get your green card, you need to have your case reopened first with the Government's consent.

Our office has experience with joint motions to reopen. Should you wish to consult with us, we would be happy to discuss your case.
