Secure Your EB-1 Green Card: No Employer Needed

Fast-Track Your U.S. Residency Today

For film and TV pros, the EB-1 Green Card offers a direct path to permanent U.S. residency. At the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram, we guide top talent to secure Green Cards in as little as six months—no U.S. employer required. In the U.S. on another visa? We can often secure a work permit in three months.
