We practice in the areas of Corporate and Immigration Law because these two areas go hand-in-hand.
Immigration law is, to the say the least, a complicated area of law, involving multiple agencies and a large number of federal rules and regulations. Our experienced immigration Attorneys can navigate these bureaucratic waters for you. Represenating yourself in our current political climate is not wise, especially if you have a criminal record, entered the US without inspection, have had a previous USCIS denial or have a 3 or 10 year bar. You may still qualify to remain in the United States with the above issues, but you likely will not know how to make this happen if you are represnting yoursel.
If you are seeking any type of immigration benefit, it is important that you consult with an experienced immigration attorney early in the process. Whether you are immigrating with the help of your employer or through a family member, the process of immigrating to the U.S. can take years. It is important that you understand this. There are steps your attorney can take to ensure that your process doesn't take longer than it should.
Also, very little is automatic in the field of immigration. For example, just having a spouse who is a U.S. citizen does not mean that you have permission to remain in this country. You and your spouse must file the correct paperwork with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before you are authorized to remain in the United States. Similarly, temporary visas such as H or L visas do not lead automatically to green cards even after living and working in the U.S. for many years.
If the government institutes removal proceedings against you, then it is critical that you seek legal counsel from an experienced immigration lawyer immediately. Our attorneys can help you identify and apply for any available forms of relief, such as asylum, withholding or cancellation of removal, temporary protected status, or an extreme hardship waiver.
Our firm does not allow walk-ins. We are a "by consultation only" office and we stick firm to this policy. To schedule a consultation simply call/text/e-mail our office. We can usually get you a consultation within 2 days.
We schedule consultations daily. All Immigration consults, except EB5 and E-2 visas cost $150.00. Speaking with you and getting the details of your case helps us determine if you are eligible to file or if you will likely run into any issues down the road. All consultation fees are then credited to you if you retain us. If you do not retain our office, the consult fee is not refundable. For Investor Visa consultations, we charge a $500.00 consultation fee. The reason for this is that these cases are complex and require a lot of work to determine wether you qualify or if your application is likely to succeeed, i.e. does it meet the requirements of the INA. It involves looking into yours and your company's financial information and evaluating assets, staff and your particular investment into your company.
* All consultation fees must be paid prior to your consultation.
