FOR EVERY JOURNEY
Your green card, done right.
However you qualify – through family, work, humanitarian protection, or another path – the green card is the milestone that lets you live and work in the U.S. permanently. A green card lawyer’s job is knowing both routes cold – adjustment of status here, or consular processing abroad – and Onward Immigration handles each.
IS THIS YOU?
You may be in the right place if...
The eligible-here
You’re already in the U.S. and eligible to adjust status, and you want the application done thoroughly.
The abroad
Your path runs through a U.S. consulate in your home country, and you want a steady guide through it.
The unsure
You think you might qualify but you’re not sure how – through family, work, or something else – and you need clarity.
The complicated
Something in your history – a prior issue, a gap, a denial – makes you wonder whether a green card is still possible.
The Path Forward
How we build your case
I
Assess & strategize
We confirm the basis for your green card and whether you’ll adjust status here or process through a consulate.
II
Build the evidence
We prepare the application and the evidence – eligibility, admissibility, and supporting records – assembled to avoid delay.
III
File & advocate
We file, track the case, handle requests, and ready you for the interview where one applies.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Flat fees, full attention.
Every green-card engagement is a single flat fee, agreed before we begin – no meter, no surprises. As a deliberately small firm, your case is handled by an attorney from first call to final decision, never passed down a chain.
GOOD QUESTIONS
Green card questions, answered.
How do I get a green card?
The most common paths are through a family member, an employer, humanitarian protection like asylum or VAWA, or special categories. Each has its own eligibility rules and waiting times. The right path – and whether more than one is open to you – depends on your situation. We help you find the strongest route.
What's the difference between adjustment of status and consular processing?
Adjustment of status lets eligible people already in the U.S. apply for a green card without leaving. Consular processing is for those abroad, completed at a U.S. consulate. Your location, how you entered, and your history determine which applies. We confirm the right route and prepare you for it.
How long does getting a green card take?
It varies widely by category and country. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens often move fastest; preference categories can wait years for a visa to become available, and processing times shift over time. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific path so there are no surprises. USCIS publishes current estimates through its processing-times tool at egov.uscis.gov/processing-times.
Can a past immigration problem stop me?
It depends. Certain prior issues – overstays, a removal order, some criminal history, or a past denial – can create a bar, but waivers and strategies often exist. The key is assessing it before you file, not after. We review your full history first so we can plan around problems instead of triggering them.
Can I work and travel while my green card is pending?
Usually, when adjusting status inside the U.S. Applicants can typically request work authorization and a travel document while the case is pending, though traveling before approval carries risks in some situations. We file these alongside your application and advise you on travel so you don’t jeopardize your case.
Do I need a green card lawyer?
You can apply alone, but a green card lawyer confirms the right path, reviews your history for hidden problems before you file, and prepares you for the interview – so a small mistake doesn’t cost you years.
