Yes. We analyze every Greenwood client’s criminal history — including Johnson County court records — to determine immigration impact. Some offenses are waiver-eligible, while others may have no effect. We never file an application without first conducting a complete criminal record review.

Bring original passports, birth certificates, certified marriage license (from Johnson or Marion County), joint financial documents, tax returns, employment verification letters, updated photos, and any case-specific documents.
