My family and I moved from Turkey to the United States last year. We’re still adjusting to the new culture, and my parents are trying to understand what immigration steps we should take next to stay here legally after our current status expires. What should families like ours focus on during the first few years in the U.S. to maintain legal status and stability?

Families often focus on maintaining lawful status, building a stable life, and preparing for long-term immigration steps. You can explore adjustment of status, asylum, or other pathways if eligible. Keeping records like school enrollments, leases, and work documentation helps with future applications. You can also consult an immigration attorney to identify the best route for your family’s situation.
