Do You Want to Move Permanently to the U.S.?
If you want to live and work in the U.S. permanently, you’ll need to apply for a green card, also known as lawful permanent residence. A green card allows you to remain in the U.S. indefinitely, work legally, and apply for U.S. citizenship after five years—if eligible. The process can be complex, and eligibility depends on factors such as family relationships, employment, investment, asylum, or extraordinary ability. Our Austin immigration attorney can evaluate your options and guide you through the green card process. Contact Ghoshal Law PLLC today to schedule a consultation.

What Our Clients Are Saying
FAQs
Family-Based Immigration
U.S. citizens can sponsor their spouse, children, parents, and siblings for lawful permanent residence. Immediate relatives (spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents) are not subject to annual visa limits.
Adjustment of Status is for applicants already in the U.S., while Consular Processing is for those applying for a green card from abroad. We will help determine the best process for your case.
Yes. A Form I-864 Affidavit of Support is required in most family-based cases to show the petitioner has sufficient income to support the immigrant and prevent reliance on public benefits.
Possibly. Certain individuals—such as spouses of U.S. citizens—may still be eligible for Adjustment of Status or a waiver. We will evaluate your specific situation to determine eligibility.
Employment-Based Immigration
We represent clients in EB-1A (extraordinary ability), EB-2 NIW (national interest waiver), and EB-2/EB-3 PERM-based petitions with employer sponsorship.
Yes. Both EB-1A and EB-2 NIW allow qualified individuals to petition without a U.S. employer. We help prepare strong self-petitions highlighting your achievements and contributions.
PERM is a Department of Labor process that certifies no qualified U.S. workers are available for the job. It is required for most employer-sponsored EB-2 and EB-3 green card petitions.
Yes, if your priority date is current on the Visa Bulletin, you may file both concurrently. We advise clients on timing and strategy based on current immigration trends.
Work Visas
H-1B visas are for specialty occupation professionals and require a bachelor’s degree. L-1 visas are for employees of international companies transferring to a U.S. office.
L-1A visas are valid for up to 7 years, and L-1B visas for up to 5 years. These visas may also lead to a green card under certain conditions.
You can change employers on an H-1B visa if the new employer files a transfer petition. L-1 and O-1 visas are employer-specific and require new filings for a change.
Investor Visas
The E-2 visa allows nationals of certain treaty countries to invest in and manage a U.S. business. The investment must be substantial and the business must be active and real.
Yes. While there is no specific job creation requirement like EB-5, the business should generate income to support the investor and contribute to the U.S. economy.
Yes. E-2 spouses and children under 21 can accompany the investor. Spouses may also apply for work authorization.
E-2 visas are typically issued for up to 5 years, depending on the treaty country, and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains operational.
Citizenship & Naturalization
You may apply after 5 years as a lawful permanent resident, or after 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen and living with them. Other eligibility criteria must be met.
You must have continuously resided in the U.S. and been physically present for at least 30 months (or 18 months if applying under the 3-year rule). We help you determine if travel affected your eligibility.
Possibly. Certain offenses may affect eligibility, but others may be waived or explained. We will evaluate your record and guide you through the process.
The U.S. permits dual citizenship, but some countries do not. We recommend checking with the consulate of your home country to understand the implications.
