Immigration Help in Albuquerque for Individuals
Individuals that wish to visit, live or work in this country must apply for either an immigrant or non-immigrant visa.
Immigrant visas are issued to family members of a U.S. citizen or
green card holder, and can also be obtained through employer-sponsored
immigration. Another way of legally entering the U.S. is by winning the annual diversity lottery. Immigrant visas are also granted to foreign nationals seeking
asylum from persecution or fear of persecution in their home country. Non-immigrant
visas are issued for a specified period of time and cover many different reasons for a foreign national's visit to the U.S., such as study, work, cultural exchange and tourism.
Before applying for a visa, an Albuquerque immigration attorney should be consulted to discuss your particular situation and the steps that will need to be taken to legally enter the U.S. Immigration assistance from a qualified lawyer can help you avoid missteps that can result in application delays or rejection.

Once a person has legally entered the country, they can seek a change of status and pursue permanent residency. Before a green card is issued, the Department of Homeland Security will conduct an extensive background check to ensure there are no medical, financial or legal reasons to disapprove the application. After 5 years of permanent residency, a green card holder can apply to become a citizen.
