Green Card Lawyer for New York City, NY, Manhattan, Queens, Long Island, Garden City, Rochester, Newark, NJ & Beyond

New York City, NY is legendary for welcoming immigrants from around the world. Upon arriving in New York, hopeful immigrants will often begin the exciting yet complicated path toward USA citizenship. One of the first steps to citizenship is obtaining a “green card.” There are a few approaches you can take when applying for a green card but unfortunately, none of these approaches is simple. To help you be successful in your request for permanent residence in New York City, NY, we recommend that you speak with a green card lawyer.

Maney | Gordon, P.A. is a law firm offering a free first consultation with a green card lawyer in our New York City, NY office. Once we review your case, we can help you determine the most practical way to proceed in applying for your green card. Whether you are a New York, NY area business trying to obtain a green card for skilled employees, a multinational corporation with offices in New York, or you would like an overseas family member to have green card status so they can live with you, our experienced, highly rated attorneys will walk you through the process and help you avoid common mistakes in green card applications.

“Green card” is a common name for Lawful Permanent Residence in the United States. A green card may also be called an immigrant visa. Typically a family member or employer will petition for a green card on your behalf and be your “sponsor.” By applying for and receiving a green card, you will be granted the ability to live and work in America. A green card will also bring you closer to citizenship in the USA. After you have been a permanent resident with a green card for a certain period of time—typically 5 years or less—you are then allowed to apply for US citizenship. Your New York, NY green card lawyer from Maney | Gordon, P.A. will explain the various green card options available, such as:

  • Family green cards
  • Employment green cards
  • Extraordinary ability green cards
  • Special immigrant green cards
  • Investor immigrant green cards
  • Religious worker green cards
  • PERM (labor certification) green cards
  • Diversity lottery green cards

Receiving a green card for permanent residence in New York City and surrounding areas involves many steps, applications, and requirements. These prerequisites can take a long period of time.
