Poder trabajar con Carla y su equipo ha sido una suerte. No es fácil encontrar profesionales tan capaces y dispuestos a ayudarte, sobre todo cuando uno es latino y tiene miles de dudas respecto de los procesos y sus tiempos. En mi caso particular la ayuda, dedicación y paciencia que Bianca Curticapeanu ha tenido con mi caso es algo a lo que siempre estaré agradecido.

We Help Visa Holders Obtain Green Cards and Pursue Citizenship

Acquiring a green card and becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen is an important goal for many who live and work in the U.S. with an immigrant visa. Green card holders may travel freely throughout the U.S. and abroad, receive Social Security benefits after working in the U.S. for ten years, and sponsor immediate family members for their own green cards.

Obtaining a green card (which makes you a lawful permanent resident) and becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States can be quite confusing without the advice and guidance of an Aventura immigration lawyer.

Mistakes or missed deadlines in the naturalization process can delay your effort to attain naturalized citizenship. An attorney at the Law Offices Of Carla A.

Frequently Asked Questions

How may someone enter the U.S. from another country?

Federal law establishes these four principal means by which foreign nationals who meet the eligibility requirements may legally enter the United States: asylum or refugee status; family-based immigration; employment-based immigration; and the Diversity Immigrant Visa program, which offers a certain number of immigrant visas each year to those who meet the requirements.

Some immigration categories allow only for temporary visits to the U.S. Others allow for long-term stays and permanent residence. For some immigration categories, annual quotas apply. Anyone who has been deported or denaturalized may not re-enter the United States without a waiver from the U.S. State Department.

What is the difference between a non-immigrant visa and an immigrant visa?

Non-immigrant visas are for temporary stays in the United States, such as for tourism, medical treatment, work, or study, while immigrant visas are for those who want to live permanently in the U.S. A non-immigrant visa restricts your activity in the U.S. to the reasons you specified when you applied for the visa.

Non-immigrant visas are typically made available only to those who intend to return to their home nation or nation of origin. Immigrant visas are made available to foreign nationals who intend to live and work permanently in the United States.

How do you sponsor a family member for a visa?

Sponsoring a family member for a visa usually involves filing a petition (Form I-130, “Petition for Alien Relative”) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), followed by processing and a visa interview at a U.S. foreign embassy or consulate.

Most visa holders may be accompanied or joined in the U.S. by their spouse and their unmarried children under age 21, who usually qualify for derivative visas. Green card holders may sponsor their spouses and unmarried children under age 21. U.S. citizens may sponsor their spouses, their unmarried children under age 21, their parents, and their siblings.

How do you sponsor a fiancée from abroad?

Sponsoring a fiancée from abroad entails filing Form I-129F, “Petition for Alien Fiancé(e),” with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It also entails background checks, proving a bona fide relationship, providing evidence of at least two or more meetings within the last two years, and a visa interview at a U.S. foreign embassy or consulate.

A K-1 visa lets a foreign national enter the U.S. to marry a United States citizen within ninety days of entry. The U.S. citizen must file Form I-129F on behalf of the fiancé, and both prospective spouses must meet particular eligibility requirements.

How does a foreign national acquire lawful permanent resident status?

The way that a foreign national can obtain a green card and attain lawful permanent resident status in the U.S. is to be sponsored by either a family member who is already a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident or by a U.S. employer with an open job who has received a labor certification for that job from the United States Department of Labor.

Foreign nationals may also apply for the Diversity Immigrant Visa program, or (when they fear persecution in their home country) seek asylum or refugee status in the U.S.

Can your temporary stay in the U.S. be extended?

Most non-immigrant visa categories allow for extensions, but approval to remain in the U.S. after your visa’s expiration date is not automatic. To extend the time you may remain in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa, you must apply to USCIS for an extension in advance of your last authorized day in the United States.

For an extension to be approved, you must not have engaged in any criminal conduct in the U.S., and you must not have violated any of the terms or conditions of your non-immigrant visa.

Can someone appeal an immigration petition or application that has been denied?

In some cases, an applicant may appeal the rejection of an immigration petition or application. It depends on what immigration benefit you’re seeking and which agency issued the denial. The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) sometimes reviews the decisions of USCIS officers to promote accuracy in the interpretation of immigration policy and law.

In cases where no appeals are allowed, an Aventura immigration attorney at the Law Offices Of Carla A. Anzaldi can review your other options or help you remedy the reasons for your application’s or petition’s denial.

What is naturalized citizenship?

Naturalization is the way a foreign national becomes a U.S. citizen. Typically, to qualify, you need to be a lawful permanent resident for several years. Becoming a citizen, however, doesn’t necessarily require a prior lawful permanent resident status.

To qualify for naturalization, you must be of “good moral character,” pass English literacy, U.S. history, and U.S. government tests, interview with a government official to establish your right to citizenship, and take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. Some individuals may not be required to take the literacy, history, and government tests.
