What is a Green Card?

A Green Card gives you the legal right to live and work permanently in the United States. It is one of the most significant milestones of any immigration journey — opening the door to stability, security, and eventually US citizenship.

Important to know

Having an experienced attorney review your eligibility before filing can save you thousands of dollars and months of processing time. Every immigration case has unique factors that must be carefully evaluated.

Immediate relative category. No quota, no waiting period.

The Process — Step by Step

1

Initial Consultation with Gergana

We review your situation, confirm your eligibility category, and outline a clear strategy for your case.

2

File the Petition (I-130 or I-360)

Your sponsoring family member files on your behalf. USCIS assigns a priority date to your case.

3

Wait for Visa Availability

Immediate relatives of US citizens have no quota wait. Other categories follow the monthly Visa Bulletin.

4

Adjustment of Status (I-485)

If you are in the US, you apply to become a Lawful Permanent Resident. Gergana prepares every document.

5

Biometrics Appointment

USCIS collects your fingerprints and photo for background checks. We guide you on what to expect.

6

Immigration Interview

Gergana prepares you thoroughly for every question you may be asked during your USCIS interview.

7

Green Card Approved

Your card arrives by mail. Conditional residents later file Form I-751 to remove the conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the green card process take?

Immediate relatives of US citizens typically wait 12–24 months. Other family preference categories can take several years depending on country of birth and the monthly Visa Bulletin priority dates. Gergana will give you a realistic, case-specific timeline during your consultation.

Yes. When you file Form I-485 you can simultaneously file Form I-765 for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), typically approved within 3–6 months, allowing you to work legally while your case is processed.

This is a complex situation requiring experienced legal guidance. For immediate relatives of US citizens, options may exist even without a lawful entry. Do not assume you have no options without speaking to a qualified immigration attorney first.

If your green card was granted through a marriage less than 2 years old at the time of approval, you receive a conditional 2-year card. You must then file Form I-751 to remove conditions and receive a permanent 10-year green card. Genova Law handles both stages.
