Ahmed K.
Egypt — NaturalizationCommon Questions
How long does the green card process take?
Processing times vary widely depending on the category. Family-based green cards can take 12-36 months, while employment-based green cards may take 6-24 months. Immediate relative petitions (spouse, parent, child of U.S. citizen) are typically faster.
What is the difference between a visa and a green card?
A visa allows you to enter the U.S. for a specific purpose and time period (temporary). A green card grants lawful permanent residence — the right to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely, with a path to citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
Can I apply for citizenship if I have a criminal record?
It depends on the nature and severity of the offense. Some crimes bar naturalization permanently, while others may only cause delays or require a waiver. You should consult with an immigration attorney before filing for citizenship if you have any criminal history.
What happens if my visa application is denied?
A denial doesn't mean the end of the road. We review the reasons for denial, address the deficiencies, and either re-file or appeal the decision. Many denials are overturned with the right legal strategy and additional evidence.
How do I defend against deportation?
Several forms of relief may be available, including cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, adjustment of status, voluntary departure, and waivers of inadmissibility. The right strategy depends on your individual circumstances, length of stay, and family ties in the U.S.
