Call our Oakland firm today at (510) 834-1288 or fill out our online form to contact us!Our law firm could help you file family-based petitions so that you can legally bring your loved ones over to the United States. The IRC can help you to petition to bring your family members to the US, apply for citizenship, green cards, work authorization, travel documents, and more. If you are an immediate relative of a US citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident (get a Green Card) based on your family relationship. Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative is the first form you must file to start the marriage-based green card application process. Just got a notice that my I-485 (green card) was shipped, wanted to share my timeline which was incredibly quick (very lucky and thankful). Do you need help with your marriage-based green card application or Adjustment of Status? In most cases, USCIS will insist that the spouse be fingerprinted at a USCIS application support center. Green card application (from within the US): Form I-485 (Application to Adjust Status).
