Which Green Card Option Fits Your Case?
There are several ways to qualify for a green card. Some people apply through a family member. Others apply through work, business goals, or professional achievements. The right path depends on your status, background, and long-term plans.
- Family-based green cards may be available through a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative. Immediate relative cases often involve spouses, parents, or unmarried children under 21 of U.S. citizens. Preference-based family visas may be available for other relatives, but these cases often involve longer wait times.
- Employment-based green cards may include options such as the EB-1 immigrant visa for people with strong professional achievements, the EB-2 for advanced degree professionals, and the EB-2 National Interest Waiver for people whose work benefits the United States.
We also work with E-2 visa holders who may need to plan their next immigration step. Our team can help you compare your options, prepare the right evidence, and build a strategy before you file.

Your Step by Step Green Card Journey With Us
Your path to permanent residence depends on your goals, history, and current status. Bardazzi Law helps you make sense of the process before you move forward.
Stage 1: Case Review and Strategy
Your case begins with a review of your goals, immigration history, current status, and possible green card options. This helps identify the path that may fit your situation, such as a family-based petition, an EB-1, an EB-2, or an EB-2 NIW.
Stage 2: Document Review and Petition Preparation
Next, our team helps gather and review the documents needed for your case. This may include passports, prior visa approvals, tax records, employment history, family records, or evidence of professional achievements. Your filing is then organized around the requirements for your green card category.
Stage 3: Filing With USCIS
Once your petition is ready, Bardazzi Law prepares and files it with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Family-based cases often involve Form I-130, while employment-based cases may involve Form I-140. The goal is to submit the right filing for your specific path.
Stage 4: USCIS Review and Next Steps
After filing, USCIS reviews your petition and may request more evidence. If that happens, you get help preparing a clear response that addresses the issue directly. You also receive updates about timelines, case movement, and next steps.
Stage 5: Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing
If you are in the U.S., your next step may be adjustment of status. If you are outside the U.S., your case may move through consular processing. Our team helps you prepare for biometrics, interviews, final review, and the steps needed to move toward permanent residence.
