Green cards & permanent residence.
A green card lets a family member live and work permanently in the United States — the route depends on your relationship and where they live.
- Two routes to a green card. Adjustment of status (Form I-485) for family already in the U.S., or consular processing for those abroad.
- Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. Spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21 — no annual wait line.
- Family-preference categories. Spouses and children of permanent residents, and adult children and siblings of citizens — by priority date.
- We handle the whole filing. The I-130 petition, the I-485 or DS-260, and the I-864 affidavit of support.
- Conditional (two-year) cards. We also file Form I-751 to remove conditions and obtain a ten-year card.
