We handle a comprehensive range of immigration matters including family-based petitions, employment-based visas, naturalization and citizenship applications, adjustment of status, visa extensions, and consular processing. Our practice focuses on helping clients navigate federal immigration law and achieve their goals for legal permanent residence and citizenship.

Processing times vary significantly depending on the type of case, USCIS workload, immigration quotas, caps, whether a case is for a nonimmigrant status such as an H1b or immigrant status, aka Legal Permanent Residence, whether a case is to obtain a visa through consular processing or the applicant is already in the United States, and individual circumstances. Family-based petitions can take anywhere from 8 months to several years, while employment-based cases may take 6 months to 2+ years. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

While you have the right to represent yourself, immigration law is extremely complex with frequent changes in policies and procedures. A single mistake can result in delays, denials, or even deportation proceedings. Our experience helps navigate these complexities and significantly improves your chances of success.

Depending on the type of case and reason for denial, options may include filing an appeal, motion to reopen, motion to reconsider, or refiling with additional evidence. We analyze each denial carefully to determine the best strategy moving forward.

We focus our practice on family-based immigration, employment-based petitions, naturalization, and related matters. For deportation defense or asylum cases, we can provide referrals to qualified attorneys who specialize in those areas of immigration law.

We charge a consultation fee to review your case and provide legal advice. However, if we accept your case and you retain our services, this consultation fee will be credited toward your total legal fees. This ensures you receive quality legal assessment while making our services accessible to clients who proceed with representation.

Please bring all relevant documents including passports, visas, I-94 records, previous immigration filings, correspondence from USCIS or immigration courts, employment authorization documents, marriage certificates, birth certificates, and any other immigration-related paperwork. The more documentation you provide, the better we can assess your situation.

Our fee structure depends on the complexity and type of case. We offer flat fees for most standard immigration matters, which provides predictability and transparency. For complex cases or those requiring extensive litigation, we may work on an hourly basis. All fees are discussed and agreed upon before we begin work on your case.

We carefully evaluate each potential case to ensure we can provide effective representation. Factors we consider include the strength of your case, available legal remedies, likelihood of success, and our capacity to dedicate appropriate resources. We only accept cases where we believe we can add significant value to your immigration goals.

We believe in keeping our clients informed throughout the process. You'll receive updates on significant developments, filing confirmations, receipt notices, and any requests for additional evidence. We're also available to answer questions as they arise and provide strategic guidance when needed.

Our focus is exclusively on immigration law, allowing us to stay current with rapidly changing policies and procedures. We combine thorough case preparation with personalized attention, ensuring each client receives strategy tailored to their unique circumstances. Our track record of successful outcomes reflects our commitment to excellence in immigration representation.

U.S. citizens can file Form I-130 for their spouse, followed by adjustment of status (if the spouse is in the U.S.) or consular processing (if abroad). The process includes proving the validity of your marriage, meeting financial requirements through Form I-864, and completing medical examinations and background checks.

A green card grants lawful permanent residence, allowing you to live and work permanently in the U.S. Citizenship provides additional benefits including the right to vote, eligibility for federal jobs, protection from deportation, and the ability to petition for certain family members with shorter wait times.

This depends on your current status and the type of case filed. Some applications allow you to apply for work authorization while the case is pending, while others do not. We'll advise you on work authorization eligibility and help you obtain the necessary documentation when available.

Unlawful entry can complicate but doesn't necessarily prevent certain immigration benefits. Options may include adjustment of status with a waiver and consular processing, depending on your specific circumstances and eligibility for family-based or employment-based relief. Each situation requires careful analysis of available legal remedies within our practice areas.

USCIS provides online case status tools, and we monitor all our clients' cases regularly. We'll provide you with receipt numbers and guide you through checking your case status. More importantly, we interpret status updates and advise you on any required actions or responses.
