Key point 1

Green card applications can be straightforward for some people and high-risk for others. Problems often arise from status gaps, prior refusals, criminal history, inconsistent records, or missing evidence.

Key point 2

Collect immigration history, travel records, prior applications, notices, marriage or family documents, financial evidence, and any refusal or removal papers.

Key point 3

Use qualified legal help if there is any prior misrepresentation, overstay, deportation risk, criminal issue, or deadline you do not understand.
