Family
Spouse
A U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident may be eligible to sponsor a spouse for permanent residence (green card) in the United States. Depending on your specific circumstances, you may have a few different processing options for your application. Each of these options can affect the length of processing, associated cost, travel requirements or restrictions, and other considerations. We recommend scheduling a consultation with an attorney to discuss what options may be available and best suited for you and your spouse. Your options may be dramatically different depending on whether you are in the U.S. or not, so it is valuable to discuss options with an attorney before traveling.
