Yes — in many cases, you can still apply for a green card even if you overstayed your visa. For example, if you're married to a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to adjust your status without leaving the country. Every case is different, and certain factors like how you entered the U.S. and whether you have prior immigration violations matter. We can help assess your eligibility safely and honestly.

During the interview, a USCIS officer will ask you and your spouse questions to determine if your marriage is genuine. You'll need to provide documents, answer personal questions about your relationship, and show that you're building a real life together. Preparation is key — we help clients gather the right evidence and practice for the interview so they feel confident and ready.

The asylum process timeline varies depending on your case type and the immigration court or USCIS backlog. Some cases move in under a year; others may take several years. While you wait, you may become eligible for a work permit. We guide clients through each stage of the process, from building a strong narrative to managing delays and interview prep.

SIJS (Special Immigrant Juvenile Status) is a form of immigration relief for children under 21 who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents. It provides a path to lawful permanent residence (a green card). To qualify, you must first obtain an order from a state family court, then apply for SIJS with USCIS. We manage both parts of the process with trauma-informed care.

Yes. VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) petitions are confidential. Your abusive spouse, parent, or child will not be notified that you filed, and you don’t need their support or signature. We help survivors apply safely, protect their information, and begin building a new life with legal status and independence.

It depends on the type of misdemeanor and your immigration history. Some misdemeanors can trigger removal proceedings or affect your eligibility for relief. Others may not carry immigration consequences at all. We analyze both your criminal and immigration records to determine the safest path forward — and if needed, fight to protect your right to stay.

You may still be eligible to apply for naturalization even if you have a criminal record, depending on the nature and timing of the offense. USCIS reviews your “good moral character,” which includes your legal history, but we’ve helped many clients navigate these concerns successfully. We’ll review your record, prepare the right documentation, and advocate on your behalf throughout the process.
