- Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing
As the daughter of an Ecuadorian immigrant, Attorney Cindy Salazar understands the challenges of the U.S. immigration process. She and her team will help you determine if you are eligible for Adjustment of Status and work with you in preparing your petition. In addition to qualifying to apply for a green card, there are other requirements that you will need to meet in order to become a legal permanent resident. For example, your entry into the U.S. must have been legal using a valid visa, and you must not have overstayed the visa’s expiration. There are, however, some exceptions to these requirements, and we will help you understand all of your available options.
Some AOS cases are more complicated than others. In certain situations, you might need to have a current U.S. citizen sponsor your application for a green card while in others, you can file the petition on your own. Cases involving marriage to foreign nationals, in particular, are often scrutinized by immigration officials to detect and prevent instances of fraud. No matter what the circumstances of your case may be, our experienced, knowledgeable immigration lawyers are equipped to protect your best interests.
If you are residing abroad or you do not qualify to have your green card interview inside the United States then you will need to process your visa approval through the National Visa Center and the U.S. Embassy of the country where you reside. Unfortunately, many clients see this process as an “easy” process of filling out forms and have unnecessary delays due to complications in their case.The Consular Process is a labor intensive process that requires many hours of preparing visa applications, compiling and submitting the appropriate biographical and financial documentation to the NVC and later making sure the applicant has complied with all of the Embassy rules for their interview. In addition, the NVC has very specific rules which are constantly changing. Our office have years of experience with this process and are up-to-date with the latest rules and policies of the specific embassies. Your case will definitely process faster and smoothly with the assistance of our lawyers and paralegals.
