How do I keep my family member in the United States?

What if, however, your relative or loved one is already in the United States but on a temporary visa, or what’s officially called a Non-Immigrant Visa? Depending upon their relationship to you, there may be a solution called as Adjustment of Status which allows some aliens in this situation to change — or adjust — their status from non-immigrant to immigrant and get a Permanent Resident Card, more colloquially known as a “green card”.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: Johnston helps man keep his driver’s license

Peter L. Johnston, Esquire represented a Philadelphia man who the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation claimed was ineligible to receive a driver’s license on account of him having multiple and fraudulent licenses and sought to revoke his privilege to drive. His client actually did have multiple licenses, one of them fraudulent, more than fifteen years earlier when he was younger, less wise and less responsible. Mr. Johnston traveled with his client from Philadelphia to Harrisburg for his client’s hearing and convinced the Department that client’s actions were the result of his youthful indiscretions and produced considerable evidence that since getting a legitimate license, he has been responsible and safe driver and a good, responsible member of the community who holds a valuable position of employment with a major Philadelphia university. Agreeing with him that his client was entitled to be extended the privilege of driving in Pennsylvania, the Department allowed him to keep his license.
