Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to my immigration consultation?
Bring identification, any immigration paperwork you’ve received, and records related to prior applications, visas, or criminal history. This helps us assess your situation accurately.
Can I apply for a green card while living in Brighton if I’m on a student or work visa?
In some cases, yes. We can evaluate your current status and determine whether you can apply for adjustment of status without leaving the United States.
How long does the naturalization process take?
Processing times vary depending on where you live and the current caseload of USCIS. Most applications take between 8 and 12 months to complete from start to finish.
Can your firm help with family petitions outside Massachusetts?
Yes. Immigration law is federal, so we can assist clients with family or employment petitions for relatives or employers who live in other states or abroad.
