Immigration
Immigration law decides how people live, work, and build a future in the United States. Choose the category closest to your situation to see how we can help.
Residency (Green Card) and Citizenship Cases
A green card gives you the right to live and work permanently in the United States, and citizenship is the final step for many permanent residents. We help you work out which path you qualify for, prepare and file the applications, get you ready for interviews and the civics test, and respond to requests for evidence.
Speak with an attorneyDeportation Defense (Immigration Court Representation)
If you have been placed in removal proceedings or received a Notice to Appear, you have the right to defend your case before an immigration judge. We represent you at every hearing, evaluate every form of relief you may qualify for, and request bond when you are eligible.
Speak with an attorneySpecial Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ)
Special Immigrant Juvenile status is a path to a green card for certain unmarried young people under 21 in the United States who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents. We guide you through the required state court order and the immigration application that follows.
Speak with an attorneyVictims of a Crime (U Visa)
The U visa is for victims of certain crimes who suffered substantial physical or mental abuse and who help, or are willing to help, law enforcement with the investigation or prosecution. It can lead to temporary status, work authorization, and later a green card, and certain family members may also qualify. We help you gather evidence, obtain the law enforcement certification, and prepare your petition.
Speak with an attorneyPolitical and Defensive Asylum Cases
Asylum protects people who fear persecution in their home country because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. We prepare affirmative applications filed with USCIS and defensive applications presented to an immigration judge, including gathering evidence, preparing your testimony, and representing you at hearings. Deadlines are strict, so speaking with an attorney early matters.
Speak with an attorneyCancellation of Removal (10-Year Law)
Cancellation of removal is a form of relief that can allow certain people in removal proceedings to stay and obtain a green card. For people who are not permanent residents, it generally requires at least 10 years of continuous presence in the United States, good moral character, no disqualifying criminal record, and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent, or child who would suffer exceptional and extremely unusual hardship. We evaluate whether you qualify and present your case to the immigration judge.
Speak with an attorneyEmployment Authorization Document (EAD)
An Employment Authorization Document, often called a work permit, allows eligible people to work legally in the United States while their immigration case is pending or under certain statuses. We determine the category you qualify for, prepare the application, and help with renewals to avoid gaps in your work authorization.
Speak with an attorneyDACA Renewals
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) must be renewed to keep protection from deportation and work authorization. We help current recipients prepare and file their renewal well before their DACA expires, and keep you informed about changes to the program.
Speak with an attorneyFamily Based Immigration
U.S. citizens and permanent residents can petition for eligible relatives, such as spouses, children, parents, and, for citizens, siblings. We handle the petitions, K-1 fiancé(e) visas, the removal of conditions on marriage-based green cards, and consular processing or adjustment of status.
Speak with an attorneyChange of Status
If you are already in the United States on a temporary visa, you may be able to switch to a different status, such as from visitor or student to a work or family-based category, without leaving the country. We review your eligibility, prepare and file the application, and explain how timing and your current status can affect the result.
