Our Marriage-Based Immigration Services
We focus on helping immigrant couples build their future together legally and securely. Our marriage-based immigration services include:
Green Cards Through Marriage
If you’re married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible to apply for a green card. We help you gather the required documents, prove the validity of your marriage, and submit a strong petition. From the initial I-130 filing to the green card interview, we walk with you every step of the way.
Adjustment of Status (For Spouses Already in the U.S.)
Already in the U.S.? You may be able to apply for a green card without leaving the country. We help you determine if you’re eligible to adjust your status based on your marriage and assist with all required USCIS forms, evidence, and interview prep.
K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
Planning to get married in the U.S.? The K-1 visa allows your fiancé(e) to come to the U.S. legally to marry within 90 days of arrival. We guide you through the petition process, prepare your case, and support you until your loved one safely arrives and adjusts their status to permanent resident.
Consular Processing for Spouses Abroad
If your spouse is living outside the U.S., we help you through the consular process—from the I-130 petition to visa approval through a U.S. embassy or consulate. We make sure your loved one is prepared for the visa interview and that all deadlines are met, minimizing the risk of delays.
Proving a Bona Fide Marriage
Immigration officials look closely at marriage-based applications to prevent fraud. We help you build a compelling case to show your marriage is real—through shared documents, affidavits, and interview preparation. We protect you from common red flags that can lead to denial.
