Explore Your Path to the U.S.:
Family-Based Immigration
The most common way for a person to get a green card is through a family member. U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents can sponsor (or "petition") certain family members for immigration visas or "green cards." Eligible family members include spouses, children, parents, and siblings. The process to get a green card requires two steps. First, the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident files a petition on behalf of the foreign national relative. Second, the foreign national relative files an application to become a permanent resident. Each step may differ depending on the familial relationship.
If you or a loved one needs help obtaining a green card or you have questions about the process, please contact us.
Employment-Based Immigration
Companies flourish when they hire a diverse workforce that has the skills that are valuable to the U.S. economy. Current immigration law provides several ways for a foreign worker to enter the U.S for employment purposes on a temporary or permanent basis. We assist employers and businesses with a variety of petitions including H-1B, L-1A/L-1B, TN status, and PERM.
If your company is considering hiring a foreign worker, contact us to speak about the different options.
Naturalization & Citizenship
Naturalization (Citizenship) is the last step in the immigration process. In order to become a U.S. citizen, a legal permanent resident must first meet certain eligibility requirements. Some of the requirements for citizenship may differ for applicant depending on how they received their legal permanent residency. If you meet these requirements, you may apply for citizenship.
Sometimes problems that did come up earlier in the immigration process may come to light. Before applying for citizenship, talk to one of our experienced immigration attorneys who can explain the process and evaluate your case.
Deportation and Removal Defense
Deportation is the most demanding and complex area in immigration law. If you are undergoing a deportation proceeding, it's crucial to have an experienced immigration lawyer who can assess your case to determine if there is a legal avenue available to prevent your deportation. There are some common ways to avoid deportation or at least extend your legal stay in the United States. Therefore, it's important to seek an experienced immigration lawyer to help you understand your rights, eligibility, and available options.
Asylum
Asylum is a legal status that provides protection to individuals who fear returning to their countries due to persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, nationality, religion, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. If granted asylum, the individual can stay in the United States. After one year of approval, you can apply for legal permanent residence or a work permit. The process to obtain asylum in the United States is complex, and an individual seeking this status must meet specific requirements to be granted asylum. Speak with one of our experienced immigration lawyers who can explain the process and evaluate your case.
