Utah Adjustment of Status Attorney

Pursuing an adjustment of status is the method through which a non-immigrant becomes a permanent immigrant. The successful completion of this process allows you to obtain your green card (permanent resident status) without the need to return to your home country.

For many reasons, obtaining an adjustment of status is highly desirable. However, like most immigration-related legal matters, multiple steps are required for completion. This includes determining whether an individual is eligible for an adjustment of status and checking to verify visa availability.

An immigrant petition must be filed, along with a formal application to adjust status. You must be fingerprinted and, in most cases, you must attend an interview. Once these steps are complete, you will receive your decision.

Consular Processing Attorney in Salt Lake City

Consular processing is for any non-immigrants who currently live outside the United States, but who are seeking to obtain an immigrant visa.

This three-step process poses several complex challenges and requires the submission of a myriad of objective-specific paperwork. This process also requires interfacing with different government agencies, including the National Visa Center, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the appropriate U.S. Consulate.

If each step is not performed specifically as required, you could face a variety of roadblocks in your quest. Having a qualified consular processing lawyer to assist you is the best way to ensure your success.

We cannot thank Kim and her team enough for everything she has done for us. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond with her time, guidance, and support. Her professionalism, knowledge, and compassion made all the difference in our journey, and we truly believe that without her help, the whole process would have been a lot harder.

What sets her apart is not only her expertise, but also dedication she shows to her clients. She always took the time to explain each step clearly, answer our questions thoroughly, and ensure we felt confident and supported throughout the process.

We are deeply grateful for her hard work and commitment, and we look forward to working with her again in the future if needed. We would gladly recommend her to anyone seeking legal help - Kim is, without question, the lawyer you want by your side.

Response from the owner:Thank you! Every attorney is thrilled to have clients like you who were on top of responding to emails.

Kim was a beacon of clarity during a frustrating and confusing process. I initially tried to file our marriage green card application on my own and only realized later that I had submitted just one of several required forms. I was overwhelmed and worried I’d make serious mistakes. From the moment we started working with Kim, everything changed. She answered all our questions with patience, simplified the entire process, and brought us peace of mind. She even met with us on Christmas Eve to help finalize our packet so we could submit it ASAP. When we got our interview notice, she responded quickly—scheduling a late-night Zoom call to walk us through what to expect and gave us a detailed checklist to stay organized. Thanks to her guidance, we felt confident and prepared—and the interview went smoothly. Kim is not just a knowledgeable attorney, but a kind and supportive person who genuinely cares about her clients. We’re so grateful for her help and can’t recommend her enough!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. You were truly a pleasure to work with. I don't routinely schedule to meet with clients on Christmas Eve or holidays in general. That said, your efforts were so sincere and I could not help but want to help you. Wishing your family much happiness.

Kim, Beca, and the entire team at Buhler Thomas Law were fantastic in our process of securing permanent residency, to say the least. From beginning to end, we received detailed, thorough, timely, and helpful communication about every step of the process. They were always quick to answer questions as well, but above all, we could tell that this team genuinely cared about us. The excitement we felt together as we reached each milestone of the process was tangible and means a lot. I cannot recommend this team enough for any immigration legal needs one might have.

Response from the owner:We have many wonderful clients that we enjoy working with. You two are among our favorites. We appreciate how responsive you bother were to our emails and calls. More importantly though we appreciate how helpful and kind you both were in how you both were in how you communicated. It truly was our pleasure to work with you.
