Frequently Asked Questions

U.S. immigration law, policy, and procedures frequently change and can be very complex. That’s why having accurate information and a strategic approach is crucial. An experienced immigration attorney will guide you through the best path for your situation, ensuring safe and legal handling of the entire process—from document preparation to interview. Don’t rely on uncertain sources—get expert guidance to achieve a successful immigration outcome without mistakes.

How can I obtain a U.S. Green Card?

There are multiple paths to obtaining a U.S. green card (permanent residency). The most common are family-sponsored immigration, employment-based immigration, and investment immigration (EB-5). Other options include refugee/asylum status, religious worker visas, and visas for individuals with special skills. Since each path has different eligibility criteria, document requirements, and review standards, it is essential to choose the right one through professional consultation.

Can I get a green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen?

Yes, that’s true. If you have a bona fide marital relationship with a U.S. citizen, you may apply for a marriage-based green card. However, approval is not automatic. USCIS thoroughly examines the genuineness of the marriage through cohabitation, financial integration, family interactions, photos, messages, and more. If there are doubts or a lack of documents, your case may be denied at the interview stage. Meticulous preparation and the guidance of a legal expert are highly recommended.

I’m on an F-1 student visa. Can I change to another visa?

Yes, you can. While the F-1 visa is intended for academic study, it is possible to change status to J-1, H-1B (employment), L-1 (intra-company transfer), E-2 (investor), or K-1 (fiancé) depending on your circumstances. Since USCIS closely evaluates timing, academic status, and immigration history, strategic planning is critical. Many use OPT/CPT to gain work experience and transition to employment-based immigration. Always consult a lawyer before changing your visa to avoid potential risks.

How much investment is required for EB-5?

As of 2022, EB-5 requires an investment of $800,000 to $1,050,000. The lower amount applies to Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs). You must also create at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The process includes selecting a project, proving the lawful source of funds, and filing I-526 and I-829 petitions. To reduce legal risks, work closely with an immigration attorney throughout the process.

What are the requirements for EB-3 employment-based green card?

EB-3 is a green card category sponsored by a U.S. employer. It includes skilled workers, unskilled workers, and professionals. The employer must first apply for a PERM labor certification and then file Form I-140. Popular among Korean applicants is the unskilled caregiver position. The process can be lengthy and heavily depends on the employer’s qualifications, financial strength, and recruitment efforts.

Can I reapply if my green card is denied?

Yes, you can reapply depending on the reason for the denial. However, since a record will remain with USCIS, you must analyze the reason carefully and take strategic action. You may appeal, file a motion to reopen, or submit a new petition. A lawyer can help identify and address the cause of the denial, which is key to success.
