Learn what to do if you want to adjust your immigration status.
Changing visa status can be complex but rewarding. Let our immigration attorneys help.
Why do I need an immigration attorney to help with a status adjustment?
The United States immigration system is complex and frequently confusing to all except those who work closely with the system. That’s why our attorneys at Diez & Osuna are here in San Antonio to walk you through the long process of gathering paperwork, filling out forms, and submitting your case. Our immigration firm can help you become a Legal Permanent Resident.
Making sure that you have a knowledgeable and qualified immigration lawyer on your team can make the process go more quickly and smoothly than doing it on your own. Just one small mistake can cause long setbacks and delays in your immigration process.
Obtaining Legal Permanent Residence is a crucial step in accomplishing your life goals. Changing from a legal non-immigrant status, such as a Tourist Visa, Student Visa, or even a Temporary Work Visa, to a Legal Permanent Resident status can be complex. The process becomes even more complicated if you apply for legal status after having entered the U.S. without inspection. However, there may be options and we will help you determine that.
What are some of the requirements for Lawful Permanent Residence?
Status adjustment is allowed through the Immigration and Nationality Act. Still, to be eligible, you must meet specific requirements.
Our attorneys will need to know if any of the following situations apply to you:
- You live in the United States or have been a resident since or before January 1, 1972
- You are a citizen of Cuba
- You currently hold a diversity visa
- You are a refugee
- You have an employee who plans to sponsor your work visa
- You have a family member who can sponsor you
- Your fiancé is a U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident/Green Card holder
Can I adjust my status as an illegal immigrant?
Please remember that having entered without inspection into the U.S. may disqualify you from specific immigration processes. We will help you determine this, so please contact us to review your options.
