Marriage & Fiancé Immigration
Building a life together should not be made harder by the immigration process. I help couples navigate U.S. immigration, whether you are bringing a fiancé(e) to the United States, applying for a Marriage Green Card, adjusting status, or completing the process through a U.S. consulate. From the first petition to the final stages of your case, I help make each step clear and properly prepared.
Marriage Green Card (Forms I-130/I-485)
-
A Marriage Green Card allows the spouse of a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder to apply to live permanently in the United States.
-
You may qualify if you are legally married to a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder and your marriage is real, not just for immigration purposes. You will usually need documents that show you have built a real life together, such as shared bills, bank accounts, a lease, photos, or other records.
-
I work with you step by step through the Marriage Green Card process. I help prepare your forms, organize your financial and relationship documents, review your evidence, and prepare you for your immigration interview when one is required. I make sure your case is presented clearly and completely so important details are not missed.
-
A K-1 visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring their fiancé(e) to the United States so they can get married. The couple must marry within 90 days after the fiancé(e) enters the United States.
-
You may qualify if one person is a U.S. citizen, you are both legally able to get married, and you plan to marry within 90 days of arriving in the United States. In most cases, you must also have met each other in person at least once during the two years before filing the petition.
-
I work with you step by step through the K-1 visa process. I help prepare your petition, organize proof of your relationship, review your documents, and prepare you for the visa interview. After you marry in the United States, I can also help with the Green Card process so you know what comes next.

Adjustment of Status (Form I-485)
-
Adjustment of Status is the process of applying for a Green Card while you are already living in the United States. Form I-485 is the main form used to ask USCIS for permanent resident status without leaving the country.
-
You may qualify if you are already in the United States and have a legal path to a Green Card through family, employment, or another qualifying immigration category. The rules are different for every case, so your immigration history, how you entered the United States, and your Green Card category must all be reviewed.
-
I work with you step by step through the Adjustment of Status process. I review your immigration history, prepare your forms, help gather the right documents, and make sure your application is complete and clearly organized. I also help you prepare for your USCIS interview, if one is required, and guide you through each stage of the process.
-
Consular Processing is the way someone living outside the United States can apply for an immigrant visa to become a permanent resident. After the required petition is approved, the case generally moves through the National Visa Center (NVC) and then to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for an interview.
-
You may use Consular Processing if you live outside the United States and have a path to a Green Card through family, employment, investment, or another qualifying immigration category. The exact steps depend on the type of case and whether a visa is available.
-
I work with you step by step through the Consular Processing process. I help prepare your petition, gather and organize the right documents, guide you through the NVC process, and prepare you for your visa interview. I make sure you understand what is needed at each stage so your case is clear, complete, and ready to move forward.
