Adjustment of Status Lawyer, Serving Clients Nationwide
For many visa holders in the United States, adjusting to lawful permanent resident status - a green card - is the next major step toward building a secure future. The process of changing from a temporary visa (such as a fiancé or work visa) to permanent residency is called adjustment of status. It’s essential to act before your current visa expires, or you may risk removal proceedings.
At Gahagan Law Firm, LLC, with offices in Lafayette and New Orleans, we help clients across Louisiana and nationwide successfully complete adjustment of status petitions. Immigration attorney Michael Gahagan provides direct, timely legal support - so your case doesn’t get stuck in limbo.
Helping U.S. Citizens Petition for Spouses and Family Members
One of the most common adjustment scenarios involves a U.S. citizen sponsoring a spouse who entered the country on a K-1 fiancé visa or K-3 marriage visa. We guide families through every stage - from initial filings to interviews - to help avoid delays or rejections.
