US Citizenship through Naturalization

We assist Lawful Permanent Residents who want to become American Citizens thru Naturalization. Green Card holders are eligible to apply for naturalization if they have been a permanent resident for a minimum of 5 years (3 years for spouses of US Citizens) and they have a Good Moral Character!

Green Card for spouses of US Citizens

We assist clients in all types of family-based petitions (“green card”) for spouses, parents, children and siblings of US Citizens. Whether your loved one is already in the US and qualifies for an Adjustment of Status or is abroad and needs Consular Processing, we can help!

Parole-in-place for spouses of us citizens

This recently implemented program will benefit certain undocumented individuals who are married to US Citizens, avoiding the need for a Consular Processing and the corresponding 601A waiver.  Call us to reserve a free confidential consultation with attorney Alex Monsalve, Esq.

Removal of Conditions

A Conditional Permanent Resident who obtained a green card through marriage (of less than two years) to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident must file an Application for Removal of Conditions (Form I-751) within the ninety (90) day period before the expiration date of the CPR card.

FIANCE VISA (K1)

The K-1 non-immigrant visa permits the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry his or her U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival. Once married, the foreign spouse can apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident (green card holder).

Waivers

Some individuals are inadmissible (not permitted to enter or to remain in the United States) due to health, criminal activity, national security, fraud/misrepresentation, prior removals, or unlawful presence. A waiver is essentially a request for forgiveness of inadmissibility.

EB-2 National Interest Waiver

The EB-2 visa is typically for professionals with advanced degrees (Masters, Doctorate, PhD), or a Bachelor degrees plus five years professional experience, or individuals with exceptional ability in their field. Unlike the other work visas, the EB-2 NIW doesn’t require an employer sponsor. You can petition directly, provided you can show your expertise would significantly benefit the country.

E-1 and E-2 Treaty Trader and Treaty Investor visas

Treaty Trader (E-1) and Treaty Investor (E-2) are non-immigrant visas for nationals of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation.  E-1 are for applicants who carry out a substantial trade between the United States and the treaty country; while E-2 allows to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the national has invested a substantial amount of capital.

EB-5 INVESTOR VISA

The EB-5 visa is an immigrant investor visa program in the United States, which provides a pathway for foreign nationals and their families to obtain permanent residency status (green card) by making a qualifying investment. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program was created by Congress as part of the Immigration Act of 1990. It aims to stimulate economic growth through foreign investment and employment creation.
