Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: How do I become a lawful permanent resident?

A foreign national can become a lawful permanent resident (commonly known as getting your "green card") through employment, through family members or when one is granted residence through the diversity lottery. The requirements for each method of obtaining permanent residence are complex and are different based on the facts and circumstances of each case. In order to determine if you are eligible to apply for a green card in any of these ways you will need to schedule a consultation with Mr. Fabacher so that he can evaluate the specifics of your case.
