Getting You Immigration Benefits and Helping With Deferred Actions

We represent individuals who seek immigration benefits in the United States, whether through family-based or work-based applications. We prepare and file all applications and take care of the entire case from filing to the interview as well as any necessary appeals. We have successfully helped our clients with:

• Citizenship
• Green cards and permanent residence
• Family visas
• Marriage petitions
• Fiancé petitions
• Work permits
• Labor certifications
• Business visas

An attorney always appears with our clients at all immigration interviews. We also handle consular processing for family members not in the U.S.

Deportation Defense and Removal Proceedings

If you, a family member or friend faces deportation or removal, whether due to a stop at a border crossing, an arrest for a criminal offense or an immigration raid, we will aggressively work to protect your rights and keep you in the country. We will visit you in jail, if possible, and seek any relief for which you are eligible, including waivers, cancellation of removal, asylum or withholding of removal. We handle all deportation appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the federal courts.
