Questions & Answers
Is consultation free?
No, you may request to schedule an in-person consultation with one of our lawyers that has decades of immigration experience.
Can we help with an expired visa?
Yes, with several types of visa applications. The purpose of your intended travel and other facts will determine what type of visa is required under U.S. immigration law. Or, get help if you are in removal proceedings.
Can I get help with becoming a U.S. Citizen?
Applying for U.S. citizenship (“naturalization”) isn’t always as simple as it seems. Before granting you citizenship, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) looks at your current situation and a lot of things that happened in your past. Some of those things can delay or even prevent you from getting citizenship unless you understand how to explain them to USCIS.
United States immigration law is tricky. The time to hire the lawyer is before you apply. Don’t wait until you’ve spent the money applying only to find out you’re not eligible for citizenship.
An attorney’s role in a naturalization application is more about spotting issues that could cause the application to be denied (and your filing fees lost), or more serious issues that could put your legal status in jeopardy. Our areas of law practice range from green card applications to investment visas, H1B Visas, L1A Visas E2 Visas with an emphasis on family immigration.
