Published

When it comes to making the US your new home, it can be stressful navigating through all the steps you need to complete. If you’re looking for lawyers in Rockford IL that will guide you through the process with skill, experience and compassion, then Crosby Law Firm is the best direction for you. We offer legal guidance and expertise in getting green cards, work visas, family-based green cards, employee-based immigration, and more.

What Makes me Eligible for a Green Card?

There are many different types of green cards depending on how you want to apply. Different types of green cards include: green cards through family, employment, as a special immigrant, through refugee or asylum status, for human trafficking and crime victims, for victims of abuse, or several other various categories. Our lawyers will help you and determine if you belong to one of these groups and how to apply.

What’s a Work Visa?

A work visa allows an individual to legally and temporarily reside in the US for work-related matters. Depending on factors such as what position you are going to hold or your experiences or your desired field, a different work visa will be applicable to you. This type of visa could be a great option if you don’t plan to permanently stay in the US. Our skilled lawyers can help you determine if this is the best option for you and your family’s needs.

What’s an Asylum Seeker?

If you leave your country of residence to come to the US for whatever reason, whether it be safety, protection, family matters, or work matters, you can apply for asylum in the US. If you are granted asylum, you have protection over being forced to return to your country of origin, can work in the US and apply for a social security card, and can petition to bring family members to the US as well. After at least one year of being granted asylum, you can apply to get a green card.
