A Family based Green Card is an immigrant visa which allows the applicant to join their close relatives in the U.S. Close relatives can be your spouse, children, parents, or siblings but more distant relatives such as grandparents and cousins do not qualify. Getting a Green Card through family means that you can move permanently to the U.S. 

A Green Card based on marriage allows the spouse of a U.S. citizen or green card holder to live and work anywhere in the United States. A green card holder will have “permanent resident” status until they apply for U.S. citizenship, for which they become eligible after three years if the marriage is still current.

 Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Acquisition of citizenship is obtained through U.S. citizenship parents either at birth or after birth, but before the age of 18.

If you obtained your Green Card through marriage, most likely you received a card valid for 2 years only. You are a conditional permanent resident who obtained status through marriage and must apply to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status. 

If you have lived overseas and do not qualify for Naturalization and your Green Card is about to expire, or if you have lost your Green Card, we can apply for the renewal. 

When you arrived in the US, you were granted a specific amount of time you could stay without leaving. 

If after your arrival you decided to prolong your stay or to change your status, you must apply file a request with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Serves (USCIS)  before your authorized stay expires. If you remain in the United States longer than authorized, you may be barred from returning and/or you may be removed (deported) from the United States.
