Citizenship and naturalization in the United States are key processes that allow immigrants to become full-fledged members of the American society, with all the rights and responsibilities that citizenship entails. U.S. citizenship can be acquired through birth within the country, or through a legal process known as naturalization for those born outside the United States.
Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a process that allows eligible individuals who are already in the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card) without having to return to their home country.
IMMIGRANT VISAS
Immigrant visas for foreign nationals who intend to live permanently in the United States.
The fiancé(e) K-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a United States (U.S.) citizen. The K-1 visa permits the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry his or her U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival. The foreign-citizen will then apply for adjustment of status to a permanent resident (LPR) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
EMPLOYER-SPONSORED VISAS
Employment First Preference (E1): For priority workers and persons of extraordinary ability. This includes individuals with exceptional talent in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics; internationally recognized professors and researchers; and multinational managers or executives. Applicants may self-petition or require a job offer and employer-filed Form I-140.
Employment Second Preference (E2): For professionals holding advanced degrees and persons of exceptional ability. Typically requires a labor certification and a job offer, with the U.S. employer filing Form I-140. Exceptions include National Interest Waivers, allowing applicants to self-petition if their work benefits the national interest.
Employment Third Preference (E3): For skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers. Requires an employer-filed Form I-140 and an approved labor certification. This category includes a broad range of workers and makes up a significant portion of the annual employment-based visa allocation.
NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS
Non-Immigrant visa category: for individuals who wish to enter the United States temporarily for specific purposes.
An immigration bond secures your release from custody when you are arrested on immigration-related grounds. Though similar to a traditional bail bond, immigration bonds are only used in a federal setting, whereas most bonds are only issued on a city and state level. Additionally, Immigration bonds typically come with much higher fees, as the bondsman is required to work with numerous other parties, including ICE or Homeland Security.
Each year, thousands of non-citizens arriving at our border or already in the United States apply for asylum, or protection from persecution. Asylum-seekers must navigate a difficult and complex process that involves multiple government agencies. Those granted asylum have the opportunity to apply to live in the United States permanently, receive certain benefits, and be reunited with their family members.
B1-B2 VISA
The Business and Tourist (B-1/B-2) visa is granted to people wanting to come to the U.S. for a temporary stay, for traveling or business purposes. However, such visa does not allow the individual to pursue studies or employment in the U.S.
The B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa is to be obtained through a U.S. Consulate, which means that the applicant will have to apply for the actual visa from abroad, through the U.S. Embassy of his/her country of residence.

Foreign nationals who wish to travel to the United States must first obtain a visa, which can be either a nonimmigrant visa for a temporary stay or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. If you plan to study in the United States, you must secure a student visa. The type of student visa you need depends on your course of study and the type of school you plan to attend. Generally, an F visa is required for academic studies at an accredited college, university, or high school, while an M visa is necessary for vocational or non-academic programs. Our experienced team can help guide you through the process to ensure you obtain the appropriate visa for your educational goals.
