Green Cards Attorney In Durham, North Carolina

Understanding Green Card Eligibility

A green card, formally known as lawful permanent resident status, allows individuals to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. It also serves as an important step toward long-term stability and, for many, eventual U.S. citizenship. There are multiple pathways to obtaining a green card, including family-based sponsorship, employment-based opportunities, humanitarian protections, and other qualifying categories under U.S. immigration law.


Eligibility for a green card depends on a variety of factors, such as your current immigration status, how you entered the United States, your immigration history, and whether any prior violations or criminal issues are present. Some individuals may be eligible to apply for a green card while remaining in the United States through a process known as adjustment of status, while others must complete consular processing through a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Understanding which path applies to your situation is essential, as the procedures and timelines can differ significantly.


Because immigration rules are detailed and often change, many applicants find it helpful to seek clear guidance early in the process. Taking the time to evaluate eligibility and prepare a well-organized application can help avoid delays, requests for additional evidence, or unnecessary complications.

Building Long-Term Stability in the United States

Obtaining a green card can be a life-changing milestone, offering individuals the ability to build a more secure future in the United States. Lawful permanent residents may live and work in the U.S. indefinitely, travel more freely, and, in many cases, later apply for U.S. citizenship once eligibility requirements are met. Because of the lasting impact of this status, it is important to approach the process with thoughtful planning and attention to detail.


Karina Herhusky is committed to providing personalized, attentive representation throughout the green card process.
