The immigration and visa process can be confusing and oftentimes overwhelming. We can help you better understand your options, as well as represent you in navigating this complex process.
An immigrant is a non-U.S. citizen present in or entering the United States with an intent to reside there permanently. The laws governing immigration in the United States presume that any foreign-born person, also called a foreign national, coming to the United States has the intent to become a lawful permanent resident (LPR). An LPR is someone who has been granted an immigrant visa, which is also referred to as a “green card”. Lawful permanent residents may live and work in the U.S. indefinitely as long as they do not commit any offenses that would subject them to deportation.
