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.
Individuals eligible for adjustment of status (green card) are generally based on one of the following immigrant categories or basis for adjustment:
Immediate relative of a U.S. citizen
Other relative of a U.S. citizen or relative of a lawful permanent resident under a family-based preference category
Person admitted on a fiancé(e) non-immigrant visa
U non-immigrant visa (victim of a crime)
T non-immigrant visa (human trafficking)
Widow(er) of a U.S. citizen
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitioner
Alien worker under an employment-based preference visa category
Alien investor
