Green Cards
Informally known as “green cards”, United States Permanent Resident Cards grant an alien (person holding foreign citizenship) permission to reside and obtain employment in the country on a permanent basis without conferring US Citizenship. Individuals who hold a green card are considered to be Lawful Permanent Residents and may remain within the country for a period of time much greater than that afforded by a visa. The process for obtaining a green card can be quite complicated, confusing, and the medical examination, interview, and other steps along the way can be more than a little intimidating.
An empathetic and experienced Austin immigration lawyer can help you to better understand the process and to avoid costly errors that could result in the delay or denial of your desired residency. Contact Austin immigration attorney William Jang at 512-323-2333 to begin taking the necessary measures to protect the future that you have envisioned for your family or your business.
