Who the client is

Usually a couple. One spouse is a US citizen or permanent resident. The other is in the US already or waiting abroad. Family cases add parents, children and siblings.

Before they call, they worry about:

  • The interview and how to show the marriage is real
  • How the foreign spouse entered the US and whether that causes a problem
  • Time apart if one spouse is abroad
  • Whether the foreign spouse can work or travel while waiting
  • Cost, and whether they could file on their own
  • A past denial, a prior marriage or an old visa issue

Many of these couples can file alone and know it. They hire a lawyer when something in their history makes them nervous. Your ads and pages should speak to that moment.

Channels that fit

  • Meta video ads

    best fit

    Demand is broad and the decision is personal. A short attorney video explaining the process reaches couples before they ever search. See Facebook ads for immigration lawyers.

  • Google search ads

    strong fit

    People typing "marriage green card lawyer" are ready to talk. Bids are moderate for legal. See Google Ads for immigration lawyers.

  • SEO

    strong fit

    Form and process searches like "i-130" are high volume. Local pages win the "near me" searches. See SEO for immigration lawyers.

  • AI search

    good fit

    Couples ask AI tools things like "do we need a lawyer for a marriage green card". Plain answers on your site help you show up there.

Ad angles that stay inside bar rules

  • "Married to a US citizen? Learn how the green card process works."
  • "Worried about the marriage interview? Talk it through with an attorney first."
  • "Petitioning for a parent or child? See what the process involves."
  • "A past visa issue does not always end the conversation. Ask an attorney."

No promised approvals. No timelines. No claims about how a case will turn out. Your firm approves each ad.

What intake should ask

  1. Is the petitioner a US citizen or a permanent resident?
  2. Is your spouse or relative in the US now or abroad?
  3. If in the US, how did they last enter? (The attorney will want this first.)
  4. Are you already married? If so, since when?
  5. Has either of you filed immigration paperwork before, or been married before?

These five answers let the attorney walk into the consult knowing the likely path and the likely problems.

How we run it

  • Meta campaigns with attorney-led video and a short lead form.
  • Search campaigns on marriage, spouse and family green card terms in your service area.
  • The AI receptionist answers, screens and books. Intake automation follows up by text and email until the consult happens.
  • Leads come from your firm's own ads and pages. They are exclusive to your firm in that sense. We do not sell shared lead lists.

How your video ad gets made

Frequently asked questions

Is Meta or Google better for marriage green card cases?

Meta tends to bring more leads at a lower cost each. Google tends to bring fewer leads with higher intent. Most firms do well running both and comparing booked consults.

How do we filter out people who only want free advice?

Intake does it. The five screening questions plus a clear statement of your consult fee, if you charge one, sort serious couples from browsers.

Should marriage and family petitions share one campaign?

No. A spouse case and a parent or sibling petition have different clients and different urgency. Separate ads and landing pages perform better.

Can ads mention the interview?

Yes, as education. You can explain what the interview covers. You cannot promise how it will go.
