Permanent Residency
A Permanent Resident enjoys most of the rights of a United States citizen according to the immigration law and regulations, such as:
To live permanently in the United States provided you do not commit any actions that would make you removable (deportable) under the immigration law (section 237, Immigration and Nationality Act).
To be employed in the United States at any legal work of your qualification and choosing, but for certain exceptions.
To be protected by all of the laws of the United States, your state of residence and local jurisdictions.
To vote in local elections where United States citizenship is not required.
At Campos Immigration Group we assist our clients evaluating their potential to petition for US Legal Permanent Residency and when viable, we structure the most efficient immigration route to achieve that goal either via consular or as applicable through an adjustment of status.
We provide comprehensive support to prepare proper documentation and evidence for a higher rate of success when filing applications or petitions.
Where you are eligible for Legal Permanent Residency based on family circumstances or through your employment, we will assist you and guide you with empathy and care through out the entire process.
