Clients Green Card Stories
Marriage Green Card (Consular Processing)
Isabella & Mark
They had been living oceans apart, juggling time zones and missing milestones. Gathering documents from two different countries only made the distance feel heavier. We helped them prepare a complete consular file, walked them through the interview process step by step, and made sure Isabella felt ready long before her appointment. When her visa was approved, the two finally booked a one-way ticket to begin their life together in the U.S.
Marriage Green Card (Adjustement of Status)
Maya & Ethan
Maya had accidentally fallen out of status before they met, and every forum they read made them believe their case was doomed. We reviewed Maya’s history, explained what USCIS typically looks for in situations like hers, and helped them prepare a complete adjustment of status package. We also went through interview prep so they knew exactly what to expect. When the approval notice arrived, they told us they reread it twice before believing it was real.
Family Green Card
Daniel & His Mother
Daniel reached out with a simple, heartfelt hope: “I just want my mom close again.” Her documents from abroad were inconsistent and old, and he worried USCIS would flag them. We guided Daniel through by explaining each document, prepared the entire petition, and kept him informed as the case moved forward. When the approval arrived, he told us he had not realized how stressed he had been until he felt that wave of relief, knowing his mother could finally join him.
Removing Conditions (I-751)
Aiden & Sofia
As their two-year Green Card approached expiration, Aiden and Sofia were worried their evidence was not “perfect”. They were also unsure how to address the gaps in documentation from a period when they’d been moving frequently. We helped them piece together the full story of their marriage. Their I-751 was approved, and they told us it felt like they could finally stop looking back and start planning ahead.
Employment Green Card
Arjun & His Employer
Arjun had been working in the U.S. for years but the uncertainty of his temporary visa weighed on him. His employer wanted to sponsor him for permanent residence, but they were nervous We guided them through each recruitment step and ensured all documentation met Department of Labor requirements. When it came time to file the I-140, we prepared a strong petition that clearly outlined Arjun’s role and qualifications. Both PERM and the I-140 were approved.
Family Green Card (Sibling)
The Alvarez Brothers
The two brothers hadn’t lived in the same country since childhood, and the older brother wanted to finally bring his sibling to the U.S. to be close again. They expected the process to be confusing. We helped them understand the timeline, prepared their petition, and clarified exactly what to expect at each step so the wait never felt like guesswork. When the petition was approved, they told us it brought them a peace they hadn’t expected, like a long-open chapter finally closing.
Document Problems
Luis & Fatima
Luis and Fatima worried that missing civil documents from Fatima’s home country would derail their marriage petition. Years of conflict meant her records were incomplete and difficult to replace. We helped them gather acceptable alternative evidence and prepared clear explanations for USCIS. When their case was approved, they said it felt like someone had finally understood their situation,
Interview Preparation
Eric & Hana
Eric and Hana were extremely nervous about their marriage interview; English wasn’t Hana’s first language, and they feared they would be misunderstood.

When they left the interview smiling, they told us it was nothing like the intimidating scenario they had feared.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the basic requirements to apply for a Green Card?
Green Card eligibility depends on your category, such as marriage, family sponsorship, or employment. Each path has its own rules and required evidence. During your consultation, we help you understand which pathway applies to your situation and what to expect before you apply.
What documents or evidence will I need for my application?
Most applicants need identity documents, proof of their relationship to a sponsor (if applicable), financial information, and records of their immigration history. Requirements differ by case type, but we provide a clear, step-by-step document checklist during onboarding.
How long does the Green Card process usually take?
Processing times vary depending on your category, where your case is reviewed, and whether USCIS asks for additional evidence. Many applications take several months to over a year, though timelines can differ. We explain what typically affects processing so you know what to expect.

Can I get work authorization while my Green Card application is pending?
Many applicants can request a Work Permit as part of their Adjustment of Status package. While approval is never guaranteed, receiving work authorization can allow you to work legally in the U.S. while your main case is pending.

Can I travel while my Green Card application is pending?
Travel rules depend on whether you’re applying inside the U.S. or through consular processing. Applicants filing inside the U.S. often need Advance Parole before leaving, and traveling without permission can disrupt the entire case. We review general travel guidelines so you understand what is safe.
