Have a question?
Ask our team of legal experts.
The fastest route to immigration is by marriage to an American citizen. A temporary Green Card is obtained at the end of the procedure, which typically takes six to nine months. You must get in touch with the USCIS once more within the following two years and provide evidence of the marriage’s legality.
It depends. Business and tourist visas are ideal for the United States. If you don’t qualify for the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) or if you wish to stay in the United States for a longer amount of time (up to 180 days) for limited business or touristic activities, you might think about getting a US visiting visa.
Most people can get California workers’ compensation benefits for up to 104 weeks (two years) after their injury. Benefits may continue up to 240 weeks (just over four and a half years) in cases of severe injuries, such as severe burns or chronic lung disease.
You can travel while your workers’ compensation case is still active or while you are still receiving benefits. Whether going on vacation is a good idea depends on the trip you’re taking and your unique situation. Please talk to us.
There are a variety of visas available to foreign people seeking permanent immigration to the United States. If you are a foreign national engaged to a U.S. citizen and want to move to the U.S., you may qualify for a fiancé visa. You may also qualify for a work visa if you have special talents or qualifications that make you in high demand in a particular sector or industry.
