Permanent Residence

Permanent Residency

Layde & Parra, S.C., located on Milwaukee’s south side, specializes a variety of immigration legal services, including applications for permanent residency – also known as a “green card.”  Many of our clients are US citizens or permanent residents who wish to bring family members from abroad to live permanently in the United States.  Others are undocumented individuals or temporary visitors to the United States who wish to acquire lawful permanent residency. 

We assist our clients with an evaluation of their possibilities, and we identify potential weaknesses in each case to give our clients the highest possible chance of reaching their goals of acquiring permanent residency.  Our lawyers then help clients prepare all necessary applications and evidence, and prepare for any interviews, whether in the United States or abroad.  In certain cases we help clients prepare immigration waivers to fix previous immigration or criminal violations. 

When clients contract with us for an application for permanent residency, they know that the attorneys at Layde & Parra will guide them through each step of this complicated process.   These processes can take months, and sometimes years, which is why Milwaukee lawyers Kevin Layde and Gabriela Parra prides themselves on clearly communicating the likely timeline, cost, and chances of success in each case. 

Our office has experience completing successful family petitions for individuals of all faiths and from every part of the world.  We also take pride in providing these services to same-sex couples.
