To obtain your green card (also referred to as Adjustment of Status) an individual must be inspected, admitted, or paroled (under certain criteria) into the United States under a specific visa category.
Individuals may only obtain their green card under a particular basis if they meet the eligibility requirements for that basis at the time of filing the Application to Register Permanent, depending on the specific basis for adjustment of status. A lawyer that specializes in green cards and helping immigrants gain permanent residency can help navigate the legal hoops and expedite the green card process.
