קבלת גרין קארד בארץ

Hi Galit, Since you are legally married to a US Citizen, he can petition for you to receive a Green Card. The entire process can be completed from Israel and it usually takes 6-12 months. HOWEVER, since you may have been illegally staying in the US for more than one year in the past, it is likely that you are banned from the US for 10 years starting from the time that you last departed the US. And while it is possible to obtain a waiver from this 10 year ban, it is usually very difficult to obtain this waiver. Therefore, even though your husband can petition for you to obtain a Green Card, it is likely the petition will be denied due to your overstay in the US (unless it has been 10 years since you last left the US). If you would like to discuss further please send me an email so that we can set up a consultation where you come to my office. Thank you. -Mike
