Green cards are a way to bring spouses and family members together in the United States. If you are seeking a green card, we can help you at the Burchinow Immigration Law Firm in Denver, Colorado.
While a green card is not guaranteed, you can rest assured that the firm handling your application has secured visas for every qualified client that has walked through our door.
The Lengthy and Complex Process for a Green Card
Many clients come to the Burchinow Immigration Law Firm after marrying a United States citizen. Parents, children and siblings want to join their family member in this country. The process in applying to be a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) is complex, lengthy and does involve waiting periods. There is nothing automatic about getting a green card.
The process involves fingerprinting, photographs and a thorough FBI clearance check. Each applicant must go to a certified physician for a medical examination and have a qualified sponsor. Once they pass all those steps, a waiting period will likely begin.
The Challenges of Green Cards for Spouses
Marriages in particular are put under the microscope by the authorities and our firm. We ask the hard questions regarding the marriage to identify any possible fraud. If you pass our test, you will likely get through the application with immigration officials. To account for the potential of sham marriages, those immigrants married to a citizen for less than two years receive a “conditional” green card. They then have to apply to have the condition removed and may be required to reappear before the US Citizenship and Immigration Services within two years of receiving their green card, to prove that the alien did not marry just to get a green card.
