“Professional, Honest, and Truly Caring” Gabriel Lazari was a blessing during one of the most stressful times of my life.

“Exceptional Service and Communication” I was referred to Lazari Law for my VAWA petition, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Gabriel handled my case with sensitivity and skill. What stood out most was his transparency and how he kept me informed every step of the way. I'm forever grateful for the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Marriage Adjustment of Status)

Q: Can I get a green card through marriage if my visa has already expired?

A: Yes. If you are married to a U.S. citizen and entered the country lawfully (with inspection), visa overstays are generally forgiven under U.S. immigration law when filing an Adjustment of Status.

Q: How long does a marriage green card take in Queens or Long Island?

A: While timelines vary by USCIS field office workloads in Jamaica and Holtsville, work authorization is usually granted first, followed by the main green card interview within 8 to 14 months.

Q: Can I travel while my Adjustment of Status is pending?

A: You should not leave the U.S. until you receive an approved Advance Parole travel document (or your Green Card). Leaving early without permission can result in your application being considered abandoned.
