“¡Mi amigo se casó y obtuvo su tarjeta de residencia fácilmente!”

Escuchamos esto todo el tiempo, pero los casos de inmigración rara vez son tan sencillos.

El hecho de que dos personas estén casadas con ciudadanos estadounidenses no significa que sus casos de inmigración sean iguales. Cada caso puede implicar diferentes:

- opciones de inmigración
- riesgos
- plazos
- estrategias

Para algunas parejas, el Ajuste de Estatus puede ser la mejor opción.

Para otras, el Procesamiento Consular puede ser la opción más segura.

Por eso es importante comprender su caso particular.

Hemos creado esta guía rápida que explica los dos procesos más comunes para obtener la tarjeta de residencia por matrimonio y algunos malentendidos frecuentes.

Si desea hablar sobre su caso u opciones de inmigración, comuníquese con nuestra oficina para programar una consulta. Con gusto lo guiaremos durante el proceso.

“My friend got married and got their green card easily!”

We hear this ALL the time, but immigration cases are rarely that simple.

Just because two people are married to U.S. citizens does not mean their immigration cases will look the same. Every case can involve different:
- immigration options
- risks
- timelines
- strategies

For some couples, Adjustment of Status may work best.
For others, Consular Processing may actually be the safer option.

That is why understanding your individual case matters.

We created this quick guide explaining the two most common marriage-based green card processes and some common misunderstandings we see every day.

If you would like to discuss your case or immigration options, contact our office to schedule a consultation. We are happy to help guide you through the process.
