Practice Areas
We work to ensure that our clients are fully prepared to address any issues related to immigration that they may encounter. This includes assisting with visa applications to ensure that family members will have the authorization to enter the United States, as well as helping them receive the authorization to work while in the U.S. and maintain legal status as permanent residents. We also assist with applications for citizenship and defense against deportation.
Immigration
While there are many reasons that immigrants seek entry to the United States, the most common way that they can receive approval to enter and live in the country is through sponsorship by a family member in the U.S. We work with our clients to help them understand their options for family-based immigration, and we ensure that sponsoring family members meet the requirements to show that they will be able to support their loved ones. We also provide assistance to those who will be immigrating, ensuring that they submit all of the required forms and documentation.
In many cases, receiving authorization to enter the United States is only the first step in the immigration process. We work with families to address their needs at all stages of this process, ensuring that they can receive Green Cards recognizing them as lawful permanent residents and helping them apply for U.S. citizenship once they become eligible. We also help immigrants understand their options for defense against deportation, and we work to ensure that a family will not be disrupted by the removal of an immigrant from the United States.
Types of Family Visas
The availability of family-based immigration visas and the waiting period before a person can receive a visa will depend on the relationships between family members and whether the sponsor is a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder. We work with families to help them understand the types of visas they qualify for, and we ensure that they meet all requirements when applying for these visas.
The Visa Process
The process of applying for an immigrant visa begins when a sponsoring family member files a petition on behalf of a foreign relative. The sponsor will also need to file an Affidavit of Support, which will show that they have the financial means to provide for all family members who will be immigrating to the U.S. Those who will be immigrating will need to provide the required documents to verify their identity and legal status, and they will also need to receive a medical examination and the required vaccinations.
Green Cards
After entering the United States, a family member may receive a Green Card that gives them the status of lawful permanent resident, ensuring that they can remain in the country for the foreseeable future. We can ensure that immigrants meet the requirements to receive Green Cards. We can also assist with an adjustment of status for those who are currently residing in the U.S., allowing them to continue living in the country without the need to leave and reapply for entry.
