At Victor Hernandez Law, we help individuals and families in San Ysidro take this life-changing step with confidence.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to green cards. Whether you’re applying through a family member, an employer, or a humanitarian route, your case deserves care and precision.

• Family-Based Green Cards – If you’re the spouse, parent, or unmarried child of a U.S. citizen or green card holder, family sponsorship may be your path. We’ll guide you through Form I-130 and Form I-485, ensuring your documents tell your whole story.
• Employment-Based Green Cards – Sponsored by an employer? We help with PERM labor certification, Form I-140, and ensuring your job qualifies under the correct preference category.
• Diversity Visa Lottery—If your country has low immigration rates to the U.S., you might qualify for this limited-entry lottery program.
• Special Immigrant Visas – For certain religious workers, international broadcasters, or Afghan and Iraqi nationals who supported the U.S. government.
• Humanitarian-Based Green Cards – If you’re a survivor of abuse or crime, you may qualify under VAWA or a U visa. These protections are here for a reason, and we’re here to help you use them.

Every option has its requirements, timelines, and paperwork. We’ll walk you through it all—step by step—with a clear game plan.

Whether your loved ones are here in the U.S. or waiting abroad, we offer hands-on legal support through family-based immigration, including adjustment of status and consular processing. From green card eligibility to interview prep at the consulate, we work to avoid delays and keep everything on track. You don’t need to figure this out alone—we’re here to help keep the process moving forward.

Applying for a green card isn’t just paperwork—it’s building your future. A small mistake or missing document can lead to delays or denials. Our legal team doesn’t take shortcuts. We dig into the details, stay ahead of policy changes, and build a case strategy based on your situation—not generic advice. Whether you’re adjusting your status from inside the U.S. or applying abroad, we’re committed to protecting your interests from beginning to end.
