Humanitarian + Family Options Review "” Build Your Green Card Plan

Life rarely follows neat immigration timelines. Families in Tulsa often juggle Temporary Protected Status (TPS), humanitarian parole, old removal orders, and U.S. citizen relatives all at the same time. Our Humanitarian + Family Options Review is a structured strategy session that untangles those threads and creates a written, plain-English plan for reaching permanent residence. Use this guide to understand what happens during the review and how to get the most out of it.

What We Evaluate in the Session

1. Status History and Admissibility

We examine every entry stamp, I-94, parole document, and USCIS receipt to determine:

• Whether you have a lawful admission that could support adjustment of status
• If a 245(i) petition or grandfathered filing protects you despite unlawful presence
• Which statutory bars (public charge, fraud, unlawful reentry, criminal history) might apply and which waivers could cure them

2. Family Ties and Priority Dates

During the review we map your family tree to see which qualifying relatives can file petitions now, who will age into eligibility soon, and how marriage, divorce, or adoption might affect timelines. We cross-check current Visa Bulletin data so you know whether a priority date is current, retrogressed, or likely to advance.

3. Humanitarian Hooks

We consider TPS, asylum, VAWA, U visas, SIJ status, or parole programs that may provide independent paths to a green card or support for waivers. Families often overlook these tools because they focus solely on family petitions.

Deliverables You Receive

How a Review Keeps Your Case Moving

1. Prevents gaps in status. We build a calendar for renewals (EAD, TPS, advance parole) so you do not lose work authorization while waiting for priority dates to become current.
2. Coordinates multiple filings. Many Tulsa families have mixed statuses; we outline whether to file the U.S. citizen spouse's I-130 first, seek VAWA safety planning, or lock in SIJ eligibility before a child turns 21.
3. Clarifies costs and evidence. With a document checklist you can gather birth certificates, prior court records, and waiver evidence early instead of scrambling when USCIS issues a Request for Evidence.

Common Pitfalls We Flag

• Relying on rumors. Advice from social media often misstates waiver eligibility or deadlines. The review brings your case back to verified law and policy updates.
• Overlooking consular processing. Adjustment of status is not always possible in the U.S. We explain when a consular interview plus provisional waiver is the faster, safer route.
• Missing derivative beneficiaries. Children lose eligibility when they marry or turn 21. We track these milestones and suggest protective measures such as filing separate petitions or applying the Child Status Protection Act.

Case Snapshot

Mariana, a TPS holder from Honduras, married a lawful permanent resident who soon filed for naturalization. During the review we confirmed her last lawful entry through advance parole, mapped out the I-130/I-485 packet, and built a hardship outline in case we needed a waiver for past misrepresentation. Because Mariana followed the document plan, her adjustment interview was straightforward and she received her green card within eight months of the review.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the review last?

Plan for 60 minutes. Complex waiver or VAWA cases sometimes need a follow-up session; we schedule that before you leave so momentum continues.

Can I include relatives outside Oklahoma?

Yes. We conduct the review by video for relatives in other states, and we partner with local social service agencies to gather supporting evidence when hardship documentation is needed.

What if I am not ready to hire a lawyer?

You still receive the written plan, timeline, and checklist. If you retain us later, the review fee is credited toward the case retainer.
