Family-Based Immigration

“Adjustment of Status” is the process of applying for a family member to gain Lawful Permanent Residency while living in the United States. A United States Citizen can apply for a spouse, fiancé(e), parent, sibling, or child to become a Lawful Permanent Resident. A Lawful Permanent Resident can apply for a spouse or child to become a Lawful Permanent Resident as well. Adjustment of Status is only available to individuals who meet specific qualifications.

“Consular Processing” is the process of applying for a Lawful Permanent Residency (Green Card) while abroad. If your family member is outside of the United States, they will need to interview with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their home country in order to get their Green Card.

If you want to apply for a family member who does not have a visa or lawful immigration status in the United States, it is likely they will need to leave the U.S. and interview for a visa with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their home country.

Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing are very complicated, so make sure to call our immigration attorney to see if either process is right for you and your family members.

"Susan — It has been a real pleasure working with you and we can't thank you enough for your understanding compassion and indulgence. You are an asset to your profession."

Vern

"Tracy is amazing. She is the attorney you want sitting beside you or handling the touchy situations you dealt with. Tracy is professional, yet sensitive to her clients' needs. I am glad to have met Tracy and referred her to my family!"

Lesley

"I was referred to Susan from a family member who works for the Douglas County Public Defender Office. She did an outstanding job on 2 charges I had in 2 different counties, both of which were dismissed. She was as professional as they come, down-to-earth, and straight up with me. Prompt and well-priced. Hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, Susan would be the person that I would call."

"Thank you Tracy! I'm so happy that I had you on my side. You made this whole painful process bearable. I'm glad that I had someone trustworthy."

Rachel

"Tosha is great helping people decide how to manage their will and estate planning. She takes the time to discuss all of their needs."

Lynn

"Tracy: Thank you for everything you did. I am very happy that you were able to get this done ASAP. Once again thank you so much for everything, you are wonderful."

Stephanie

"Tracy was a phenomenal attorney during my divorce. She gave me nothing but insightful and helpful advice. She listened to how I wanted to handle my case and always offered other options, but always kept me (her client) in mind. I met with many lawyers before choosing one who I felt comfortable with and I am more than happy that I selected Tracy as my attorney."

Summer

"Tracy, I'm feeling really, really happy and wanted to let you know how thankful I am that you are representing me. Thank you so much!"

Ryan

"Tosha wrote my will with all the necessary add-ons. As I am disabled, she was kind enough to visit me during her lunch hour so I could sign it. She even brought the necessary witnesses! I have heard only good things about her expertise, and would not hesitate to have her handle any legal problems I might have."

Phyllis

"My husband and I hired Tracy to help us with what I think is a rare legal matter. She spent a lot of time researching the issue and came up with conclusions I don't feel every lawyer would have considered. She really listened to what we wanted and needed and has taken on a lot of the burden that was weighing heavily on us. We are still in our legal process, but we wouldn't be as far along in the process without Tracy."

Jennifer

"When I first met with Susan she seemed very understanding and did not push me into something I did not want to do. I left the first meeting feeling a little better about a bad situation. When I hired her she was not pushy about what to do or how to do it. Because I was still hoping for a different outcome, Susan and her staff were very understanding even when I did not take their advice. They still guided me through a very hard time. Thank You!"

Mike

"Tracy: Thank you for everything. I will be sure to call you in the future and when the opportunity arises I will also let people know what a great job you did!"

Annette

"I would highly recommend Tracy. She represented me in my divorce which included child custody and child support issues. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge and professional skills. Tracy was always responsive and was aggressive as needed. I would use Tracy again in any legal matter that may come up in the future."

Tim

"Tracy, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your help. I know my divorce was complex, but thank you for your professionalism and diligence."
