Is there a difference between a visa and a green card?

Yes. A visa is similar to a passport stamp and it does not grant you permission to enter the US, but it allows you permission to apply to live and work in the US. The visa is often confused and many people think that it is their entry ticket to the US, but it is not. There is no guarantee that you will be allowed in the US with a visa. The decision about your entrance into the United States is made by the US Customs and Border Protection agency.

A green card is a piece of documentation that allows foreign nationals and all immigrants the ability to work and live in the US legally. If you have a green card, you can apply for US citizenship once you meet the requirements.

Why should I become a citizen? Are there any benefits to me?

Yes. There are three benefits that you will experience when you become a citizen that you do not have as a green card holder. Those benefits include the ability to vote in elections, sponsoring your relatives, and obtaining a passport to travel.

I am here in the US on a student visa and I graduate soon. Will I be allowed to stay here?

No. Once you graduate and are no longer in school, you will lose your student visa and you must return to your home country. If you want to remain in the US, you will need to apply for the correct visa to remain here. You should start the process as early as possible to avoid deportation. Call our immigration attorney in Brooklyn today for help with this process.

I received a notice to appear in immigration court. What does this mean?

If you have received any type of notice to appear, you must. These proceedings mean that you are in the process of a removal proceeding and deportation may become a reality for you. It is important that you contact Green Card Visa Lawyer now to speak with our immigration attorney in NYC. We can help stop the process and grant you relief to remain in the US longer.

Can I sponsor family members to come to the US?

Yes, but you must be a citizen in the US. Once you are a citizen, you can sponsor your parents, grandparents, siblings, fiancé, spouse, and children. There is a process to this and our experienced immigration attorney in Brooklyn can assist you.
