By hiring a lawyer to guide you through the process and represent you with the authorities from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the Department of State, you can greatly improve your chances of success.

Areas of Practice

Asylum
If you were being persecuted in your home country because of race, religion, sex, or political opinion, you have the right to seek asylum in the U.S. If granted asylum, you could apply for permanent residency after one year and would then be able to take steps toward naturalization.

Cancellation of Removal
Even if you have been selected for removal, it may not be too late to reverse the decision. An attorney from our firm may be able to help you petition for cancellation of removal, a type of legal relief that makes it possible under certain circumstances to avoid being deported.

Deportation / Removal
The first step of deportation is the notice to appear. If receive this notice, contact a legal professional as soon as possible for help with resolving the situation. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better your chances will be of avoiding removal from this country.

Family Petitions
In order to bring family members to the U.S., you must first have been granted U.S. citizenship or have become a lawful permanent resident. There are several types of family-based immigrant visas, depending on the relationship between the foreign national and the U.S. citizen or green card holder.

Green Cards
A green card is technically referred to as a United States permanent resident card. This formal ID allows a person to apply for naturalization after five years.

Labor Certifications
Labor certifications allow companies to hire non-nationals if the companies are unable to find qualified workers in the U.S. for the job. Also known as an application for alien employment certification, this document could allow you to work in the U.S.

Naturalization
If you were not born a U.S. citizen, you can apply for naturalization. The Immigration and Nationality Act outlines a number of requirements for those who want to achieve the benefits of full citizenship, and we can guide you through every step of the process.

Permanent Residency
Becoming a lawful permanent resident by securing a green card has the potential to make your life far easier because it provides you with the security that comes with knowing that you have legally immigrated and can begin building a new life here. Unfortunately, green cards are in high demand and the process to get one can be challenging.

U.S. Citizenship
There are only two ways to become a U.S. citizen: by birth or through law. If you were not born a U.S. citizen, then you will have to obtain this status by completing the process of naturalization. Let an attorney from our team guide you throughout the entire process.

Types of Visas
The U.S. Department of State offers a variety of visitor visas, student visas, work visas, and family visas to meet different immigration needs, but this variety can make it difficult to choose the right one for your case. We can help you select the most appropriate type of immigrant or non-immigrant visa for you or your loved one.
