Navigating the Complexities of Immigration Law

Becoming an American citizen or gaining a coveted "green card" is far more complex than simply filling out an application. An immigration law attorney at Whiteaker & Wilson, P.C. can advise you on the best way to achieve these goals:

Immigrant Visas

There are two ways to qualify for an immigrant visa. An employer may sponsor you for a "green card," giving you the right to live and work in the United States.

People with high-demand skills, such as physicians in certain specialties, or accomplished musicians may be able to get an immigrant visa without employer sponsorship.

The United States government sets annual quotas for many of these immigrant visas. To be one of those lucky few, it is advisable to have a skilled advocate — someone familiar with the workings of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), and feels comfortable helping people.

The Path to Citizenship

People who are not born here may still become American citizens through naturalization. First you must obtain a "green card" and live in the United States for at least five years.

To become a U.S. citizen, you must be a person of "good moral character."

After filing an N-400 application for naturalization, you must pass an interview, have good English language skills and know how the U.S. government works.

Our firm also handles temporary visas and deportation matters.
