If you dream of living permanently in the United States, obtaining a U.S. Green Card—officially known as a Permanent Resident Card—is your ticket to making that dream come true. However, the process can feel like a maze. That’s why having an experienced immigration lawyer, like Joshua Begin of Begin Law, PLLC and Karyn J. Begin, PA, on your side can make all the difference. Ready to unlock your future? Let’s dive in!
A Green Card is your official proof of permanent residency in the United States. It allows you to live, work, and travel freely within the U.S. While the idea of becoming a permanent resident is exciting, the process of getting there involves understanding eligibility, completing forms, meeting deadlines, and navigating rules that can vary depending on your situation.
Mistakes in your application can lead to delays, additional costs, or even denials. Many people turn to notarios or attempt the process alone, only to face unnecessary complications. With over 25 years of combined experience, Joshua Begin and Karyn J. Begin provide expert guidance to simplify your application, ensuring every detail is handled correctly from start to finish.
Did you know that family ties are one of the most commonways to obtain a Green Card? You may be eligible if you are:
• An immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, such as a spouse, child under 21, or parent (Learn more here).
• Part of the family preference category, which includes siblings, married children, and other extended relatives (Read more).
There are additional paths to a Green Card, such as:
• Employment-based visas
• Refugee or asylum status
• Special categories like VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) (Explore here)
U.S. law allows qualified individuals to apply for a Green Card under specific categories, such as family, work, or humanitarian reasons. Each category has its own eligibility rules, and working with an attorney ensures you meet all requirements.
Green Cards are typically valid for 10 years. Be sure to renew before your card expires to avoid complications. However, if you are a Conditional Resident, there may be additional steps for you to take. Please contact us to discuss.
If your Green Card expires while you’re abroad, reentry can be tricky. You may need to apply for temporary evidence of your status. If you have stayed outside the United States for longer than 6 months or more than 1 year, you may need to file for a reentry permit. An immigration lawyer can guide you through this process to ensure smooth travel and a return home.
To maintain permanent residency, avoid extended stays outside the U.S. Trips longer than six months may raise questions about your intent to live permanently in the U.S. It is critical that an experienced immigration attorney helps you. A bad application can mean denial of your immigration status.
If USCIS denies your application, you may be able to appeal or file a motion to reconsider. This is where legal expertise is crucial. Without it, you risk making costly mistakes.
Applying for a Green Card is not just about paperwork; it’s about timing. U.S. immigration laws and policies can change. Processing times also vary, often taking months or even years (Check current times). Starting your application today with an experienced immigration lawyer means fewer delays and a faster path to your new life.
