Oklahoma Immigration Law Offices

About our Oklahoma Green Card Immigration Attorneys

Are you in Oklahoma and considering applying to become a permanent legal resident of the United States? Do not do so on your own. Before applying for your green card, take the time to speak with an Oklahoma green card lawyer, who can assist you through this complicated process. Under 500,000 people are approved for green card status each year. Although official statistics for green card denials are not disclosed, it is believed that most applicants are denied. The most common reasons for denial include:

• Inappropriate choice of sponsor
• Incomplete paperwork, or application filled out incorrectly
• Poor answers to interview questions, or poor impression given during the interview

An experienced Oklahoma green card lawyer can help you avoid all of these pitfalls, explaining the complete process for you, from start to finish. For example, how do you choose the correct sponsor? Often, when applying for green card status, your sponsor will be someone that you intend to marry, or a business owner who intends to hire you. Your sponsor can be any citizen or permanent legal resident of the United States, however. It is important that this person have a completely clean record that is free of past legal problems, which an Oklahoma green card lawyer can help you research.

Once you have chosen a sponsor, your Oklahoma green card lawyer will complete your request for you. This is an extremely important part of the process, because most green card applications get denied because of an error in the paperwork. Don't let this happen to you! This is where an Oklahoma green card lawyer will be most valuable.

After the application stage, the next step into the process will be to speak with a green card officer. This person will ask questions about why you want to become a permanent resident, giving you an opportunity to prove that you have a valid reason for doing so. The interview is generally very short, giving you only a few minutes in which to make a positive impression. Your Oklahoma green card lawyer will be an important friend to you in this process. He or she will explain what you can do to make the best impression, and give you an idea of some of the questions that you might expect to receive. He or she can also assist with getting a translator if English is not your native language.
