At Victor Hernandez Law, we help people throughout El Cajon turn their dreams of staying in the U.S. into reality—with clear guidance, reliable support, and personalized legal strategies that work.

There’s more than one way to become a lawful permanent resident. Whether your application is based on family, employment, or a unique situation, our team is here to help you understand everything and keep your case moving forward.

• Family-Based Green Cards – If you’re the spouse, parent, or unmarried child of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you may qualify through family sponsorship. This typically involves Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and Form I-485 (Application to Adjust Status).
• Employment-Based Green Cards – If a U.S. employer sponsors you, the process may include PERM labor certification and filing Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker).
• Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery – Nationals of countries with historically low immigration to the U.S. may apply through this annual lottery.
• Special Immigrant Visas – These apply to certain workers such as religious leaders, select international media employees, and Afghan or Iraqi nationals who support the U.S. government.
• Humanitarian Relief – If you’ve experienced abuse, domestic violence, or other crimes, you may qualify under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) or through a U visa.

Each pathway has specific eligibility rules and paperwork. We’ll guide you through every form, deadline, and requirement—so you’re never left wondering what to do next.

The immigration process isn’t just about forms—it’s about timing, precision, and ensuring your case is presented correctly. One mistake can mean a costly delay. We tailor your legal strategy to your background and goals at Victor Hernandez Law. Whether you’re applying from within the U.S. or abroad, our attorneys are on top of the latest immigration updates and committed to protecting your best interests from start to finish.
