Whether you aim to move to the United States as a visitor, you want to pursue your education, or you’re interested in being able to work, Jesus R. Gonzalez has the experience to get you the visa you need. If you intend to visit the country, B-1 visas are meant for visitors for business purposes, while B-2 visas are appropriate for tourists.

Permanent Residency

Obtaining a permanent resident card or green card, as it is known, is the most crucial step before being able to aspire to become a citizen. Lawful permanent residents are allowed to work and live anywhere within the United States, and this document can be obtained either through family-based or employment-based sponsorship. Let Jesus R. Gonzalez work with you to obtain this coveted document.

Naturalization

Becoming an American citizen is the eternal dream of many. Jesus R. Gonzalez, P.A. can guide you through this process, from determining your eligibility to filing the proper forms to the moment you take the oath of allegiance.

To qualify for naturalization, you must have been a permanent resident for at least five years; be 18 years old or older, be able to prove that you can speak, write, and read English; pass a test on U. S. government and history; qualify for the physical presence test; and, finally, swear loyalty to the United States.

This process may range from a few months to several years, depending on the state where you file and your particular circumstances. Once you receive your naturalization certificate, you are able to get a U. S. passport.

Having your loved ones close to you is a priority for you as well as for many immigrants that are undergoing different aspects of the immigration process.
