How to Qualify for a Green Card or Visa in Portsmouth VA

If a non-citizen has an immediate relative who is a citizen of the United States, then this process becomes much faster. Even illegal aliens can sometimes qualify for legal residence if they have been in the country long enough and have immediate family members who are citizens.
