What Is a Green Card and Why Should I Choose Attorney Segreto to Help Me?

A green card is proof of permanent residency which allows you to lawfully live and work in the US, and travel in and out of the USA. You may be eligible to apply for a Green Card (Permanent Resident Card) through:
  • an immediate family member who is a citizen
  • a job offer, employment
  • qualifying for refugee or asylum status
  • several other special provisions.
Michael Segreto knows the ins and outs of the immigration system and can help you navigate them. Being a descendant of immigrants, he knows the difficulties people go through when attempting to obtain a green card and citizenship.

Both Michael and his office manager Jannia Vanesa will be there to assist you every step of the way. If you are Latino and prefer to speak in Spanish, the staff is bilingual, so there will be no problem.
“The New Colossus“
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
~ Emma Lazarus

What Are the Requirements for Obtaining a Green Card?

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service lays out four requirements for an individual to qualify for a green card. They are:
Be eligible for one of the immigrant categories established in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA),
Have a qualifying immigrant petition filed and approved for you (with a few exceptions),
Have an immigrant visa immediately available, and
Be admissible to the United States.
Michael Segreto will answer your questions and help you petition for a green/work card. He can help you establish proof of these items as well as supporting documentation. His goal is to guide you through a system that can be confusing and intimidating until you are approved for your green card.

Frequently Asked Question

  • #1 Who can be deported?

    The short answer is that anyone who is not a US citizen can be deported. Immigrants in the process of becoming a citizen who break the law can face deportation. Additionally, anyone who has illegally entered the US can be deported.

  • #2 Can I represent myself?

    On the surface, the answer is “yes.” You can request all forms and submit them. However, in the current political climate, it is critical to not only know the fine points of immigration law but also how to navigate the complexities of the immigration system and courts. The Law Office of Michael Segreto can help.

  • #3 If a family member has been deported, is it possible for them to return to the US legally?

    It is difficult and, in some cases, impossible for someone who has been deported to return to the US. There are circumstances, after a set waiting period, that a person can reapply to return to the US. It’s complicated… but we may be able to help.
