California has one of the most diverse international communities in the world and some of the most complex family-based immigration fact patterns in the country. If your situation involves unlawful presence, a visa overstay, an unusual entry category, or a prior order of removal, you need an attorney who has seen these cases and knows how to navigate them. That is exactly what KVisaXpress does.
Tell us your situationIf you entered the United States without inspection and are now married to a U.S. citizen, your path to a green card is complicated but may not be impossible. The I-601A provisional unlawful presence waiver, consular processing, and other options exist depending on your specific history. Call before you assume there is no path forward.
If you entered the United States legally on a tourist, student, work, or other nonimmigrant visa and overstayed, you may still be eligible to adjust status to permanent resident through marriage to a U.S. citizen — provided you were inspected and admitted at entry. The analysis depends entirely on how you entered and your current status. Do not file anything without understanding your options first.
Crew members who entered on a C-1/D visa aboard a cruise ship or commercial vessel and remained in the United States after their ship departed face a distinct set of immigration challenges. If you later married a U.S. citizen, you may have options for adjustment of status depending on how and when you entered and what has happened since. These cases require careful analysis of your entry documents and immigration history.
Exchange visitors subject to the two-year home residency requirement under INA 212(e) cannot adjust status or obtain most immigrant visas until they fulfill the requirement or obtain a waiver. If your spouse is a J visa holder subject to 212(e), this must be addressed before the immigration process can move forward.

Immigration law is federal law. Chelsea's West Virginia bar license does not limit her ability to represent California clients before USCIS, the NVC, or U.S. Embassies and Consulates worldwide.
Unlawful presence, visa overstays, maritime crew entries, J visa 212(e) requirements — these are exactly the cases that require an attorney who has seen them before and knows what is actually possible.
When USCIS unreasonably delays a Northern California case, Chelsea files a Writ of Mandamus in the Eastern District of California in Sacramento to compel action.
