Submitting a well-prepared application is crucial for expediting processing times and avoiding rejections. Our step-by-step instructions make it easy, ensuring that you’ve done everything correctly.
Once you acquire lawful permanent residency in the United States, you receive a green card, which holds significant importance. It serves as proof of your status as a lawful permanent resident and verifies your ability to permanently reside and work in the United States.
The green card is a rectangular plastic card that contains essential information about the permanent resident. The front of the card displays your photograph, first and last name, USCIS number, country of birth, signature, fingerprint, date of birth, sex, category of admission to the U.S., and other crucial details.
Why You Might Need to Renew or Replace Your Green Card:
• Your green card has expired or will expire within 6 months.
• Your green card has been lost, stolen, or destroyed.
• Your green card was issued by USCIS, but you never received it.
• Your green card is partially damaged.
• Your green card has incorrect information due to a USCIS error.
• Your name or other information on your green card has changed since its issuance.
• You are turning 14 years old. (Once a permanent resident child reaches 14 years old, they must apply for a new green card.)

AISC helps you prepare the entire U.S. citizenship application (Form N-400) so that everything is correct… guaranteed. Submitting a well-prepared application is the best way to get the fastest processing times and avoid rejections.
US Citizenship Application
To pursue U.S. citizenship, you must submit Form N-400 to the USCIS, a process referred to as naturalization. Before submitting your citizenship application, it is important to determine your eligibility and ensure that you are not already a U.S. citizen.
Eligibility requirements vary depending on your immigration status. You must be 18 years or older and hold a Green Card (permanent resident status). For most individuals, this means being a Green Card holder for at least 5 years. However, if you are married to a U.S. citizen, the requirement is being a Green Card holder for at least 3 years, along with meeting other criteria.
It is advisable to renew your Green Card if it has expired before applying for citizenship. Although not mandatory, renewing your Green Card before pursuing U.S. citizenship is recommended, as carrying a valid Green Card is a legal requirement for permanent residents to establish proof of their residency status.
Fiancé Visa (k1)
The K1 visa (also called the fiancé visa) is a special visa which allows the fiancé of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States, marry their U.S. citizen fiancé, and adjust status in the United States to get their green card.
To get a K1 visa, your U.S. citizen fiancé must file a Form I-129f on your behalf in addition to other steps discussed below. Your U.S. citizen fiancé is the petitioner (person filing the petition) and you (the person getting the K1 visa) are the beneficiary (person benefiting from the petition).
Getting a K1 visa based on your engagement to a US citizen can be a complicated process. You must meet specific eligibility requirements and you must follow precise steps. If you fail to file paperwork correctly or you fail to complete the necessary steps then your case may face huge delays, or even worse, be denied.
One of the main benefits of a K1 visa is that it allows you to enter the U.S. for the purpose of marrying your U.S. citizen fiancé. In fact, one of the requirements of the K1 visa is that both the parties must have the intent to marry each other within 90 days of the K1 visa beneficiary’s entry to the U.S. If you get married to each other within 90 days of your entry to the U.S Set up and appointment today.

Divorce Decrees
A divorce decree is the final court document that formally ends your marriage. You can use a decree or a divorce certificate to prove you’re divorced. Although both a divorce decree and a divorce certificate can serve as proof of your divorce, there are important differences between the two documents. Here’s why having a divorce decree on hand might sometimes be better than having a divorce certificate.
If you and your spouse participated in divorce mediation or otherwise settled your case, the court will incorporate your marital settlement agreement into the divorce decree. Some courts will write the terms of the settlement agreement directly into the decree, while others might attach the agreement to or reference it in the decree.
Lastly, the divorce decree will include each spouse’s signature, the signatures of any attorneys involved, the judge’s signature, and the date everyone signed. In some courts, the court clerk will also stamp the final document with an official court seal.

Death Certificates
A death certificate is an official recording of the cause, date, and place of death-signed by a physician. A death record may be used for a number of reasons:
- settle estates
- claim life insurance benefits
- claim pensions
- research purposes
- various legal reasons
At the State Office, death records are available from January 1908 to the present for deaths that occurred in the State of Minnesota. Some counties may have older death records in their files. Those county vital records offices may be contacted directly.
Before you can buy a death certificate, the funeral director must record the legal facts of death. The legal facts include the date, time, and place the death occurred, and information to identify the person who died. Then, a medical professional adds the cause and manner of death to complete the death record. Sometimes, this step may mean a longer wait for a death certificate.

Certificate of title is proof of ownership. You may transfer the title of a Duplicate Title. Our staff will help you fill out the title so you when go to the DMV your transfer wouldn’t be rejected.

Adoption
Adoption is a legal process that gives adoptive parents and adoptees (the persons being adopted) legal rights, benefits, and protections. The person being adopted could be a minor (under the age of 18) or an adult. Adoption cases, including court files and hearings, are confidential and not open to the public or non-parties, except by court order.
There are legal impacts to any adoption, whether it is for a minor or an adult. They affect the person being adopted, the birth family, and the adopting parents. See the FAQs tab for a summary of some of the legal impacts of adoption. It is recommended that you talk to a lawyer to learn more about these impacts.
Adoption Papers
Minor (Child) Adoption
The decision to adopt a child can be an exciting and emotional event, but it is also a serious matter because it involves the well-being of a child. Adoption laws are based on the best interests of the child, and certain laws give special protection for children such as the Indian Child Welfare Act. Different types of minor adoptions include:
- Relative adoption (also called “kinship” adoption);
- Step-parent adoption;
- Agency adoption (including children who are wards of the state and children placed through private agencies such as charitable or religious organizations);
- Private adoption (usually arranged between biological parents and adoptive parents, and facilitated by an adoption lawyer); and
- International or intercountry adoption.
Adult Adoption
An adult adoption is the adoption of a person who is 18 years of age or older. In MN, any adult person may be adopted regardless of where they live.
