Build Your Life Together — Legally, Confidently, and Without Mistakes
A marriage-based green card is one of the most personal cases in immigration law. The process is detailed, document-heavy, and unforgiving of small mistakes. We represent couples in Los Angeles County and throughout California from initial petition through the USCIS interview and green card issuance.

USCIS scrutinizes marriage-based green card cases more closely than almost any other immigration filing. The officer reviewing your case is specifically looking for evidence that your marriage is genuine — not entered into for immigration purposes.
We help couples present a complete, well-organized case that anticipates and addresses USCIS concerns before they become problems.
We represent clients in:
Our focus is preparation: detailed evidence, consistent documentation, and a clear strategy that puts the strongest possible case in front of USCIS.
1. Case Evaluation & StrategyWe review your marriage history, immigration status, and any prior immigration issues to determine the correct path — Adjustment of Status (if your spouse is in the U.S.) or Consular Processing (if abroad). We identify any red flags before filing.
2. Document Preparation & Evidence GatheringWe prepare your I-130 petition, I-485 adjustment application, I-864 Affidavit of Support, work permit, and advance parole applications. We assemble bona fide marriage evidence — joint financials, lease or property records, photos, affidavits from family and friends, and supporting declarations.
3. Filing with USCISWe file the complete package with USCIS, ensuring everything is consistent, complete, and well-organized. Strong initial filings significantly reduce the risk of Requests for Evidence.
4. Interview PreparationBefore your USCIS interview, we walk you through the questions officers commonly ask, review your documentation together, and prepare you for what to expect. For cases with potential complications, we prepare strategies in advance.
5. Decision & Green Card IssuanceWe monitor your case through the decision, respond to any post-interview requests, and remain available for follow-up issues — including conditional residence removal two years later, if applicable.
We handle most marriage-based green card cases on a flat-fee basis. After your consultation, you receive a complete quote based on your specific situation — no hourly billing, no hidden fees.
USCIS filing fees are separate and paid directly to USCIS.
All fee structures are discussed clearly before representation begins.
We represent couples in Glendale, Los Angeles, Burbank, Pasadena, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Studio City, Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and surrounding areas — and serve clients statewide and through consular processing for spouses abroad.
Most adjustment of status cases take 10-20 months from filing to green card approval. Consular processing typically takes 12-18 months. Timelines vary depending on USCIS workload and case complexity.
Possibly. Spouses of U.S. citizens may still qualify for adjustment of status even with prior overstays. Each case requires individual review of immigration history.
Yes. Marriage-based green card interviews typically require both spouses to appear together. Preparation matters.
If USCIS has concerns about the authenticity of a marriage, the agency may schedule a second interview where spouses are questioned separately. Preparation is critical for these cases.
Yes. We typically file the work permit (Form I-765) and advance parole (Form I-131) at the same time as the green card application. Work authorization usually comes within a few months of filing.
We respond to Requests for Evidence with full legal arguments and supporting documentation. Most cases can be successfully addressed at the RFE stage with a thorough response.
No. We represent couples of all backgrounds. Armenian and Russian fluency are simply available as additional services for clients who prefer to communicate in those languages.
