Adjustment of Status and Green Card Renewals

Learn More

Adjustment of Status is a process that allows eligible individuals already in the U.S. to apply for lawful permanent residency (green card) without leaving the country. It is a key pathway for family, employment, or humanitarian-based immigration. For those who are already lawful permanent residents, green card renewals are required to maintain a valid document as proof of residency. Renewals are essential for uninterrupted access to employment, travel, and benefits, and should be done in a timely manner to avoid disruptions.

Naturalization and Certificates of Citizenship

Learn More

Naturalization is the process that allows eligible lawful permanent residents to become U.S. citizens through application, testing, and an oath of allegiance. Certificates of Citizenship provide proof of U.S. citizenship for individuals who acquired or derived citizenship through their parents without needing to undergo the naturalization process.

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)

Learn More

DACA provides eligible undocumented individuals who came to the U.S. as children with temporary protection from deportation and the ability to work legally. Renewal applications must be filed every two years to maintain this protection and ensure uninterrupted work authorization and deferred action benefits.

Family Petitions

Learn More

Family Petitions allow U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor eligible family members, such as spouses, children, parents, or siblings, for immigration to the U.S. This process facilitates family reunification by granting visas or green cards to qualifying relatives.

Consular Processing

Learn More

Consular Processing is the method for individuals outside the U.S. to apply for an immigrant visa through a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country. It is often used for family-sponsored, employment-based, or diversity visas, culminating in lawful entry to the U.S. as a permanent resident.

Removal of Conditions

Learn More

Removal of Conditions applies to individuals who received a conditional green card through marriage. To obtain permanent residency, they must demonstrate that the marriage was entered into in good faith by filing a petition within two years of receiving the conditional green card.

Services for Individuals with Refugee Status

Please note: We currently do not offer immigration legal services for asylum, TPS, work-based immigration, or U-visas and VAWAs. We do not represent in immigration court for deportations or other court appearances.

Pricing

Pricing will be explained at the time of consultation. The initial consultation costs $52. There, the legal representative will explain both Catholic Charities’ fees and the government fees for the immigration petition.
