Many people want to obtain a permanent visa to live and work in the U.S. with a green card as a lawful permanent resident. Because these visas are so much in demand, the agencies involved are flooded with applications. It is important to ensure that all application materials comply with legal requirements and clearly display an applicant’s qualifications. Assistance from an experienced Bolingbrook immigration lawyer can help prevent mistakes that could lead to delays or denials.
The U.S. Government issues a limited number of permanent visas each year, and applicants are ranked in order of preference according to several factors. Applicants will want to document their eligibility for the category of greatest preference. In many cases, an applicant must have an employer or family member file a petition on their behalf before they can apply for a visa. An attorney could assist with the petition process as well as all stages of the visa application process.
