U.S. citizens and permanent residents may petition to sponsor close relatives. For citizens, these relatives include spouses, children, parents and siblings. Permanent residents can sponsor spouses and children.
Our office will determine eligibility, prepare necessary petitions and applications, advise on adequacy of supporting documentation, attend interviews with our clients, and attend to all follow-up matters necessary to obtain permanent residency either through stateside adjudication by the Department of Homeland Security’s Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or through visa processing at the U.S consular posts abroad. If there are potential grounds of inadmissibility, we will assess those and prepare waivers if necessary.

GREEN CARD
(PERMANENT RESIDENCE)
For over a decade, Atom Law Group has successfully guided hundreds of applicants through the process of obtaining Green Cards. The founding partners of this firm are themselves immigrants who went through this same process years ago! Our firm is possible because of the family-based immigration process. It is a privilege to be able to help others to achieve their American Dream now. So we take this service very personally.
Below is a simple overview. Our team assists you each step of the way, but it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the process.
Being a Permanent Resident status allows a family member to live and work in the United States permanently. A Green Card is a different name for Permanent Residency.
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) allocates family-based immigrant visas allowed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) vastly determines eligibility of applicants.
