- Family-based immigration: Relatives of U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents may be able to seek Permanent Resident Status. This can include spouses, children, parents or siblings. Depending on a variety of factors, these proceedings may take place during the Adjustment of Status process or during Consular Processing. If it is a spouse seeking Permanent Resident Status, he or she may be able to remove Conditional Resident Status. Talk to an attorney to learn about your unique options.
- Special Immigrant Juvenile Status: In cases where a child needs protection because of abuse, neglect or abandonment, he or she may be eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. This may eventually lead to Lawful Permanent Residence status. This may be a suitable alternative in cases where an adoption is denied.
- Citizenship applications for U.S. citizenship by a Lawful Permanent Resident or a child of a U.S. citizen born outside of the U.S.
