Assistance for adjustment of status for Charlotte immigrants

Need assistance to obtain an adjustment of status in Charlotte NC? Pardo Law firm, a highly qualified Charlotte NC immigration law firm can help you. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) permits the change of an individual’s immigration status while in the United States from non-immigrant or parolee (temporary) to immigrant (permanent) if the individual was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States and is able to meet all required qualifications for a green card (permanent residence) in a particular category. The common term for a change to permanent status is “adjustment of status.” Pardo immigration law firm offers extensive experience assisting Charlotte NC immigrants with all their adjustment of status needs.

Adjustment of status process

The INA provides an individual two primary paths to permanent resident status. Adjustment of status is the process by which an eligible individual already in the United States can get permanent resident status (a green card) without having to return to their home country to complete visa processing.

To determine if you are eligible for an adjustment of status in the United States or if you are looking for an immigration attorney in Charlotte NC to represent you in your adjustment of status application process, contact our office to schedule a consultation at (704) 644-7065.

NOTE: Consular processing is an alternate process for an individual outside the United States (or who is in the United States but is ineligible to adjust status) to obtain a visa abroad and enter the United States as a permanent resident. This pathway is referred to as “consular processing.”

WARNING:  If you are in the United States and are planning to pursue consular processing, you should consult with an immigration attorney before you proceed as your departure may trigger certain grounds of inadmissibility.
