If you are living outside the U.S. and wish to obtain a Green Card to live and work in this country as a legal resident, you can apply at a U.S. Department of State consulate in your home country. This process is called consular processing. This can be done through a number of different immigrant visa categories.
At Ezekwere Law, we can help facilitate the process to ensure that your application is done in a professional manner. Our consular process lawyer has a thorough understanding of all the steps required and will work with you one-on-one. You will never be referred to a paralegal or other office staff for this legal assistance.
If you are residing outside of the United States and seek to obtain lawful permanent resident status (Green Card) to live and work in the U.S., you may initiate the process through consular processing at a U.S. Department of State consulate located in your country of residence. Consular processing encompasses several immigrant visa categories, and the proper category must be identified to ensure eligibility and compliance with U.S. immigration laws.
Obtaining a green card
If you are currently residing in the United States on a temporary visa, you may be eligible to apply for lawful permanent resident status (commonly referred to as a green card) through an adjustment of status application. This process allows you to seek permanent residency without the need to return to your home country and initiate the procedure through a U.S. embassy.

Under U.S. immigration laws categories that allow individuals to adjust their immigration status include:
- Immediate or other relative of a U.S. citizen
- Relative of a Lawful Permanent Resident
- Fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen or the child of a such a fiancé(e)
- Immigrant worker
- Certain battered family members of U.S. citizens or Law Permanent Residents
- Asylee or refugee
- Human trafficking or crime victim
- Special immigrant and other categories
As a matter of legal protocol, it is generally required that an immigrant petition be filed in conjunction with an application for lawful permanent residence (commonly referred to as a “green card”). In most instances, this petition must be submitted by a qualifying sponsor, typically a family member or an employer. However, under certain circumstances, an applicant may be permitted to self-petition.
It should be noted that the immigrant petition must first receive approval from the appropriate authorities prior to the filing of the green card application. Moreover, the submission of the green card application is contingent upon the availability of a visa in the applicant’s specific category.
Subsequent to these filings, the applicant will be required to attend a mandatory interview with an official from the immigration service. In addition, the applicant will be obligated to undergo biometric services, which will involve the collection of fingerprints, a photograph, and the applicant’s signature.

Citizenship is a deeply held aspiration for countless foreign nationals who live and work in the United States. As the child of immigrant parents, I understand firsthand the challenges and hopes that come with the desire for naturalization. I watched my own parents navigate this journey, driven by their commitment to secure a better future for themselves and their family. The naturalization process offers a pathway to fulfilling that dream, but it is often complex and can be daunting without the right support.
