Helping You With All of Your Immigration Needs
Our family is dedicated to helping your family at any stage in the immigration process.
Visas and Green Cards
A visa allows people from other countries to come into the United States. There are a wide variety of visa types and purposes.
- Immigrant visas: These are visas for people who plan on staying long term, usually their entire lives. People often obtain immigrant visas for the purpose of going through the naturalization process of becoming a U.S. citizen.
- Non-immigrant visas: These are for people who are visiting and do not plan on staying long term. Non-immigrant visas allow people to stay for certain lengths of time, after which they need to either apply for a change of status or leave the country.
- Family visas: These are among the most common — and most important — types of visas. U.S. citizens as well as permanent residents can apply for visas on behalf of their family members.
- Employment visas: There are many types of visas that are intended for people to come to the United States for work-related purposes, each with different requirements and lengths of stay. We help our clients obtain employment visas of all kinds, including H-1B (specialty occupation) and E5 (immigrant investor) visas.
Naturalization · Becoming Part of the U.S. Family
Citizenship and naturalization are important to many people who are in this country on immigrant visas. When you work with our family, we take your immigration goals seriously and do everything we can to help you:
- File for citizenship: An essential part of the citizenship and naturalization process includes filing Form N-400 (or Form N-600 if we are applying for your child who is under 18 years old) and going through the civics testing and other requirements. We will help you.
- Waivers: If your application for citizenship or for a visa has been denied, we can appeal your case, including a petition for waiver of inadmissibility, which could help you bring your family together.
Avoiding Deportation and Removal
We are familiar with the entire deportation process. We will help you with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Another important aspect of avoiding deportation involves immigration-related criminal defense. Our lawyers can help you defend against criminal charges in a way that will not risk your status or have you deported.
