Family Immigration - Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing

Indianapolis Family Immigration Lawyers 

Helping Navigate Adjustments of Status

When an immigrant is able to secure a green card it means security, for themselves, their families, and others who may be relying on their presence in the United States. Getting the necessary adjustment of status can make the search for employment easier. Having stable employment makes it easier to plan for the future. Moreover, getting a green card is a significant step toward eventually applying for citizenship

The Indianapolis green card lawyer who founded the Law Offices of Eugene Mogilevsky, LLC has walked in the same shoes as the clients he serves. Attorney Evgeny Mogilevsky immigrated from Moldova as a young man, getting an up-close education in immigration law and procedure before he even went to college. Now, with his own firm having been here since 2014 and built up a solid track record of success, Attorney Evgeny Mogilevsky wants to help others successfully walk that same path. Serving all of Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Shelby, Boone, Madison & Morgan counties, throughout Indiana and across the United States of America.

What’s Required to Get a Green Card?

The first thing a green card applicant needs is a sponsor. This sponsor must be living within the United States and already be either a citizen or a green-card holder themselves.

It is not necessary that a sponsor be family member. It’s true that immigration petitions based on marriage or other family relationships are common, but anyone who meets the basic eligibility noted above can be a sponsor. This can include friends and it’s not uncommon for employers to sponsor employees. 

Sponsorship is a significant commitment. The sponsor must sign an affidavit agreeing to effectively take responsibility for the applicant for a 10-year timeframe. The way this responsibility is enforced is, if the new green card holder were to need government benefits to live, the sponsor can be required to pay back the local, state, or federal agency that administered the benefits. 

Please be aware that a sponsor does not have to be a relative. While family-based petitions, including marriage or engagement--are certainly common, employers also do sponsorship, and it can be done by friends. The only question—beyond the sponsor’s own permanent residency status—is whether they will take financial responsibility for the green card applicant for a period of 10 years. If, over the course of this 10-year period, the applicant needs to be on a government program, the sponsor cold be required to pay back the appropriate public agency.
