Your Advocates For Becoming A Permanent Resident

Certain foreign nationals who wish to apply for green cards to allow them permanent residency within the United States will have to undergo a process known as “adjustment of status.” U.S. immigration law provides a variety of ways for foreign nationals and those with nonimmigrant visas to adjust their statuses. The most common ways to adjust status include filing a family-based visa petition or employment-based visa petition.

At the Law Offices of Hans Burgos, we have worked on hundreds of adjustment status cases over the years in Florida and throughout the country. We have effectively represented numerous clients at their green card application and adjustment of status interviews. Whether it is a straightforward application or a complicated case with legal issues, we are experienced, licensed attorneys who will take on your case to guide and represent you throughout your adjustment of status process.

Establishing Eligibility For A Green Card

When applying for permanent residency, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will determine whether you are eligible to adjust your status based on U.S. immigration laws and policy.

Furthermore, for most cases, USCIS will also determine whether you are eligible for the adjustment as a matter of discretion. Essentially, USCIS will weigh the positive factors in your case against the negative factors in your case. Such factors include your:

  • Immigration status and history, including your family unity
  • Length of residence in the United States
  • Business and employment ties to the United States
  • Contributions to the community
  • Moral character

As the applicant, you bear the burden of establishing that you merit becoming a lawful permanent resident. We are experienced immigration lawyers who will help you make a strong case in your favor.
