Re: immagration

Based on the information that you provided, you should be able to file a green card for your spouse. There are special procedures though that you must follow in order for her to be able to receive her green card. Additionally, she will have to pay an increased fee because she entered illegally.

I recommend that you have an attorney help you with the application as this process can be complex because of your spouse's illegal entry.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office for further assistance.
