If your card is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must file a replacement Form I-765 with the required filing fee. If USCIS made a typographical error on your card (such as misspelling your name or listing the wrong birth date), we can request a corrected card without paying a new filing fee by returning the original incorrect card with supporting evidence.

If your spouse entered the U.S. without inspection, they are generally barred from adjusting status inside the U.S. unless they qualify under INA § 245(i) or another exemption. However, many spouses can obtain a Green Card by applying for a Form I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver while inside the U.S., and then completing Consular Processing abroad. We analyze your spouse’s entry history to determine the safest legal path.

Processing times vary based on the underlying eligibility category and current USCIS workload. Generally, initial or renewal EAD applications take between 3 to 8 months. Categories such as pending Adjustment of Status or DACA may follow different timelines. We track official USCIS processing windows to ensure your application stays on schedule.

Naturalization is the legal process by which a foreign national voluntarily applies for and receives U.S. citizenship. Acquisition or Derivation of Citizenship occurs automatically by operation of law—either at birth abroad to U.S. citizen parents, or when a minor child’s parent naturalizes before the child turns 18 (under the Child Citizenship Act). In those cases, the child files Form N-600 to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship rather than Form N-400.
