At Brooks Law Firm, our green card lawyers in Boston provide strategic legal assistance with all aspects of the green card application process. We assist with family-based and employment-based petitions, help prepare USCIS forms such as I-130, I-485, I-90, and I-751, and offer interview preparation and document review. 

If you’re seeking a U visa, T visa, or relief under VAWA, our attorneys will help guide your case with care. We also represent clients in Boston Immigration Court, file appeals, and respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs). 

Our multilingual staff supports clients in Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and other languages, ensuring that language is never a barrier to accessing quality immigration help.

If you’re living in Massachusetts and exploring how to adjust your immigration status, an experienced green card lawyer may help you avoid costly mistakes. Clients often contact us for help when:

• Applying for a marriage-based or fiancé(e) visa (Form I-130/I-485 or K-1)
• Seeking adjustment of status from a student or tourist visa
• Facing removal after overstaying a visa or being issued a Notice to Appear (NTA)
• Filing a green card renewal or replacement (Form I-90)
• Preparing for a USCIS interview or responding to an RFE
• Applying for a work permit (Form I-765) or advance parole (Form I-131)
• Pursuing protection under humanitarian immigration programs such as asylum, VAWA, TPS, or DACA

If any of these situations apply to you or your family, an immigration attorney can help you understand your eligibility and avoid delays.

Understanding how the green card process works can reduce stress and help you prepare more confidently. While each case is unique, most applications follow a similar path. Here’s what to expect when working with Brooks Law Firm:

1. Initial Consultation and Eligibility Review: We begin by evaluating your immigration history and eligibility for adjustment of status or consular processing.
2. 
   Document Collection and Form Preparation: Our legal team prepares all necessary forms (I-130, I-485, I-864, etc.) and ensures supporting documents meet USCIS standards.
3. Filing with USCIS or the NVC: We submit your application to the correct agency, whether within the U.S. or abroad.
4. Biometrics and Interview Prep: We help you get ready for your fingerprinting appointment and any required USCIS or consular interviews.
5. Case Monitoring and Updates: We stay on top of deadlines and respond to any Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs).
6. Approval or Further Legal Action: Once approved, you’ll receive your green card. If needed, we guide you through waivers or motions for reconsideration.

Each step is handled with care and precision by our experienced immigration team, ensuring your application is as strong and complete as possible.

When applying for a green card, one of the first decisions is whether your application will be processed in the U.S. or abroad. Our attorneys help you determine the right path:

Adjustment of Status (AOS)

This option is for individuals already living in the U.S. who are eligible to apply for permanent residency without leaving the country. AOS is commonly used by spouses of U.S. citizens, visa holders eligible for employment-based residency, and asylum seekers adjusting their status after one year.

• Handled by USCIS
• No need to leave the U.S.
• Includes Form I-485 and biometrics/interview locally

Consular Processing

This process applies when the applicant is outside the U.S. or must complete their green card application through a U.S. consulate abroad. It’s often used for family members waiting overseas or certain employment-based applicants.

• Handled by the National Visa Center and a U.S. embassy or consulate
• Requires travel for a consular interview
• Faster in some cases, but more complex logistically

Each path has its pros and cons, and choosing the wrong one can cause delays or even denials. Brooks Law Firm helps you make the right choice based on your current location, immigration history, and legal eligibility.

Brooks Law Firm represents clients seeking green cards through U.S. citizens or lawful permanent resident relatives. We handle Form I-130 and I-485 preparation, interview coaching, and affidavit of support documentation. If your loved one lives outside the U.S., we also help with consular processing.

USCIS emphasizes the importance of accurate documentation and honest representation in family-based immigration cases. That’s why we take a detailed, compassionate approach to every case—ensuring your story is told clearly, truthfully, and with the care it deserves.

Our firm is proud to represent survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other serious crimes, handling each case with the discretion and support needed to help you move forward safely and within the bounds of the law.

The Office for Victims of Crime and the National Immigration Project both detail the protections available to survivors, providing vital information for those seeking immigration relief under federal law.

If you have been granted asylum or refugee status, we can help you transition to permanent residency. Our firm also serves those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), exploring options for long-term legal status when available under federal law.

Brooks Law Firm helps professionals and skilled workers across Massachusetts transition from employment-based visas to permanent residency. We assist with labor certification (PERM), employer-sponsored petitions (EB-2, EB-3), adjustment of status for H-1B, L-1, or O-1 visa holders, and renewals of Employment Authorization Documents (Form I-765). 

Whether you’re in Boston’s tech sector, working in healthcare, or employed in manufacturing or academia, we help ensure your petition complies with USCIS and Department of Labor standards.

Details on job-based green card eligibility can be found through the USCIS Employment-Based Immigration section, which outlines various categories and steps.

For immigrants facing deportation or detention, our Boston immigration lawyers represent clients in removal proceedings before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). 

We handle defensive applications for asylum or cancellation of removal, motions to reopen or reconsider denied cases, appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and prosecutorial discretion requests. We also provide representation for detained family members at Plymouth County or Suffolk County detention centers.

The EOIR provides a helpful Know Your Rights Guide, which outlines what to expect during removal proceedings and the legal options available to non-citizens.

We support clients needing help with form preparation and legal advice related to green card renewal or replacement (Form I-90), removing conditions on permanent residency (Form I-751), and preparing for USCIS marriage interviews. 

Our attorneys also assist with responding to RFEs, NOIDs, and administrative processing delays. We help ensure you understand the requirements and avoid common documentation issues that could result in a delay or denial.
