Answering Your Pressing Questions About Immigration
The immigration process can be overwhelmingly complex. Fortunately, you do not have to go through it alone. At Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A., our immigration attorneys have years of experience assisting clients with immigration-related issues. Most of our clients come to us with many questions; here, we will attempt to answer a few of them.
What Does U.S. Citizenship And Immigration Services (USCIS) Consider When Determining Status?
When considering an applicant’s immigration status, the USCIS considers several factors. These include whether an applicant has family in the U.S., has a permanent employment opportunity, is making a capital investment over a certain dollar threshold, or qualifies for asylum.
How Long Does It Take To Become A Permanent U.S. Resident?
Immigrants have several options to reside legally in the U.S. Whether you are considering a visa, a green card or citizenship, the duration will vary depending on your personal circumstances. Some cases take a few weeks; others take several months or many years. We can give you an estimation of how long your case will take and can work to expedite the process as much as possible.
