Green Card Lawyer in Spartanburg and South Carolina

A green card provides a stable immigration foundation for individuals building a life in the United States. With lawful permanent residence, you can live and work in the U.S. on a long-term basis and plan your future with more certainty.

For many families, the most common path is a marriage-based process that can lead to a marriage green card. In family cases where the immigrant spouse is already in the United States, the process may begin with the U.S. citizen spouse filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with USCIS. When eligible, the immigrant spouse may file Form I-485, Application for Adjustment of Status, at the same time.

During an adjustment of status case, the immigrant spouse may also apply for work authorization and permission to travel abroad (advance parole). These permits are typically issued within a short few or couple months, while the green card process can take longer.
