Immigration — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the immigration process take? +

Processing times vary greatly depending on the type of application, your country of birth, and current USCIS workloads. Family sponsorship for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens is typically faster than other preference categories, which can have multi-year waits. Ms. Khan will give you a realistic timeline assessment based on your specific situation.

I have a prior immigration violation. Can I still apply? +

Possibly, depending on the nature and timing of the violation. Prior unlawful presence, orders of removal, or misrepresentation can create bars to certain benefits, but waivers are often available. It is critical to disclose your full history to your attorney so the right strategy can be developed.

What is the difference between a green card and citizenship? +

A green card (lawful permanent residence) gives you the right to live and work in the U.S. permanently, but you remain a citizen of your home country. U.S. Citizenship (obtained through naturalization) gives you full rights as an American — including the right to vote, hold certain federal jobs, obtain a U.S. passport, and petition for a wider range of family members.

What is the difference between a K-1 visa and a K-3 visa? +

Both are non-immigrant visas that allow foreign nationals to come to the United States based on a relationship with a U.S. citizen, but they serve different purposes depending on your marital status.

The K-1 visa (fiancé visa) is for couples who are engaged but not yet married. It allows the foreign fiancé to enter the U.S. to get married within 90 days of arrival. After marriage, the K-1 holder can apply to adjust their status to permanent resident. The K-1 visa does not require filing an immigrant petition (Form I-130).

The K-3 visa (spousal visa) is for couples who are already legally married. It was designed to allow the foreign spouse to enter the U.S. while waiting for the immigrant visa process to be completed. However, it is worth noting that the K-3 visa is rarely used today because the immigrant petition (Form I-130) is typically approved before the K-3 visa can be processed. For most married couples, a direct spousal immigrant visa (CR-1 or IR-1) is now the more practical route.

Consulting with an immigration attorney is strongly recommended to determine which option is best for your specific situation.

Can my divorce affect my immigration status? +

Yes, significantly — especially if your green card is based on your marriage. If your card is conditional (2-year), divorce complicates the I-751 removal of conditions process. Ms. Khan handles both family law and immigration, making her uniquely positioned to guide clients through this intersection.

Do you handle immigration court or removal defense? +

Ms. Khan focuses on family-based immigration including citizenship, family sponsorship, conditional residency, and fiancé visas. If your matter involves immigration court, she can advise you on your options and refer you to an experienced removal defense attorney if needed.
