How We Can Help You

​

Our firm offers comprehensive legal services in all areas of family and individual immigration, including:

​

1. Family-Based Immigration: Bringing Loved Ones Together

​

Family is at the heart of immigration, and the U.S. government provides pathways for citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to petition for their relatives. We assist with:

• Immediate Relative Visas – For spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens. These visas have no annual cap, making them one of the fastest routes to immigration.

• Family Preference Visas – Available for extended family members, including adult children and siblings, though subject to annual numerical limits.

• K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas – Helping U.S. citizens bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the U.S. to get married within 90 days and apply for a green card.

• Adjustment of Status & Consular Processing – Whether applying from within the U.S. or abroad, we streamline the path to permanent residency.

 

2. Green Cards (Permanent Residency): Securing Your Place in the U.S.

​

Obtaining a green card grants you lawful permanent residency, allowing you to live and work in the U.S. We guide clients through:

• Marriage-Based Green Cards – Helping couples prove the authenticity of their relationship and navigate USCIS scrutiny.

• Parent & Child Green Cards – Ensuring parents and children of U.S. citizens and residents obtain lawful status.

• Renewals & Removal of Conditions – Assisting with 10-year green card renewals and I-751 petitions to remove conditions for marriage-based green cards.

 

3. U.S. Citizenship & Naturalization: Becoming an American Citizen

​

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a life-changing milestone that offers security, voting rights, and expanded opportunities. Our attorneys help clients:

• Determine eligibility and prepare Form N-400 applications.

• Overcome challenges related to residency requirements, criminal history, or prior immigration violations.

• Prepare for the U.S. naturalization test and interview.

• Handle denials, appeals, and complex cases.

 

4. Humanitarian Immigration: Seeking Protection & Relief

​

For those facing hardship, persecution, or violence, the U.S. offers humanitarian immigration options. We assist with:

• Asylum & Refugee Applications – Assisting individuals fleeing persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group membership.

• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Petitions – Protecting victims of domestic violence who are married to U.S. citizens or residents.

• U Visas & T Visas – For victims of crimes and human trafficking who cooperate with law enforcement.

• Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Helping individuals from designated countries remain in the U.S. due to unsafe conditions in their home country.

 

5. Deportation Defense & Immigration Appeals

​

If you or a loved one is facing removal proceedings, time is critical. We aggressively advocate for our clients in immigration court, seeking relief through:

• Cancellation of Removal

• Asylum & Withholding of Removal

• Waivers for Criminal Convictions & Misrepresentation

• Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)

 

Why Choose an Immigration Attorney?
