Types of Immigration Cases We Handle

Our law firm is dedicated to assisting clients both in the United States and abroad. We represent all types of clients in immigration matters before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), from multinational corporations to entrepreneurs to investors and their families to individuals hoping to bring a loved one to the United States.

As a boutique law firm, we are able to focus exclusively on immigration law. Our attorneys bring over 90 years of combined experience exclusively in the area of immigration law as well as all of our resources and expertise to provide solutions to your immigration needs. Based in Los Angeles, we represent clients in California and throughout the United States and the world on a range of immigration law matters, including:

Each case begins with a consultation with one of our attorneys. During this appointment, we will listen to your story and then offer you legal advice about your immigration options. If you choose to hire our firm, we will get to work right away to put together the strongest petition to submit to USCIS.

The process of immigrating to the United States varies based on the type of visa that you seek. Immigrant visas, as opposed to business or tourist visas, include the following basic steps:

  • File an immigrant petition. In some cases, such as a family visa, another person may sponsor you or file it on your behalf.
  • Submit all supporting paperwork and fees to USCIS.
  • Once your petition has been approved, you may apply for an immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate in the country where you currently reside.
  • Get a medical examination.
  • Go to an interview.
  • Wait for a decision on your application for a visa.

If your visa is approved, then you will be required to pay a fee. You will be given a sealed packet of documents to give to officials at a U.S. port of entry. If your visa gives you permanent residency, then you will receive your green card in the mail.

Of course, the process is far more complicated than the above steps would indicate. Depending on the type of visa you are seeking, you may need to submit a legal brief that supports your petition and other documentation.

For example, if you would like to immigrate to the United States on an EB-2 visa, for professionals with advanced degrees and persons of exceptional ability, you will need to file a labor certification from the United States Department of Labor or an exemption, known as the National Interest Waiver, in order for your petition to be approved. A seasoned immigration lawyer in Los Angeles can guide you through the process and ensure that all supporting paperwork and documentation is filed appropriately with USCIS.

How our Los Angeles
Immigration Attorney Can Help

Because the immigration application process is so complex and filled with potential pitfalls, you should work with one of our experienced immigration attorneys.

Our Los Angeles immigration lawyer can provide you with strategic advice about your case. Most people are not familiar with the U.S. immigration system. Even if you have friends and family who have successfully secured a visa, they may not know the ins and outs of the process and the most recent changes in immigration law.

Our attorney can advise you of all of your options when it comes to immigration. You may even be eligible for a visa that you hadn’t even considered before - like an investor visa that will allow you to come to the United States and bring your family.

Making mistakes in the immigration process can be incredibly costly. In many situations, it would have been less expensive to hire our immigration lawyer from the start than to pay someone to fix the mistakes that were made by trying to do it yourself. Perhaps more importantly, working with our law office can prevent you from making an error that leads to consequences that cannot be undone.

Our immigration attorney in Los Angeles will also act as a trusted counselor. We can advise you of the likelihood of success as well as alternatives that can be explored. Having one of our lawyers by your side can significantly reduce the stress and anxiety associated with the immigration process.

Finally, working with our lawyer can save you a lot of time and stress. United States immigration law is complicated and changes frequently. Immigration attorneys at our firm devote their practice to knowing about updates to the law, the most recent requirements, and other developments that could impact their clients’ immigration petitions.

Small technical mistakes - like using an outdated form - can significantly delay your case. The National Visa Center (NVC) may reject your submission which can add months to your case. When you hire one of our experienced immigration attorneys, we will work to ensure that your petition is completed correctly & filed properly - minimizing delays and maximizing the likelihood of success.

Immigration Law FAQ

What are the conditions for US citizenship applications?

The initial prerequisite for all applicants to naturalize as a citizen of the United States is to be a Permanent Resident (i.e. have a Green Card). You’ll need to have been a permanent resident for at least three to five years prior to applying for citizenship, depending on your case.

Additionally, when you file your naturalization application you must be at least 18 years old; be able to speak, read, and write basic English; and be a person of good moral character. Many exceptions exist to many of the criteria and it’s important to check with our attorney to see whether you qualify for exemptions from criteria.

As a Green Card holder, before qualifying for citizenship, you would need to have lived permanently in the United States for a period of at least three to five years (depending on the path to becoming a permanent resident).

To gain U.S. citizenship, Green Card holders may need to apply for naturalization through USCIS after the time period has been met. Our experienced immigration attorney can assist during this process.

Check out our U.S. citizenship through marriage guide for more information if you are a marriage green card holder.

Only US Citizens can apply to get your parents a Green Card. Green Card holders are prohibited from petitioning their parents for green cards. You’ll need to be over 21 and a U.S. resident to petition your parents for permanent residence in the United States. Depending on personal and family factors the process of sponsoring your parents to receive Green Cards will vary. Our experienced attorney will help ensure that you prevent costly mistakes and/or omissions on the application as well as during the process that might jeopardize your parents’ opportunity to earn Green Cards. There are no quota requirements for a Green Card of this kind.

You can gain a permanent green card by marrying a U.S. Citizen. Even after marriage to a U.S. Citizen, a Green Card petition procedure can still be a lengthy, complex undertaking involving extensive documentation and paperwork. You will also get a Green Card by marrying a current Green Card holder. Check out our marrying a non-U.S. citizen guide for all of your options if you want to sponsor your future spouse.

However, the petition may be put in a restricted category of annual quotas, and it may take several years to obtain the Green Card before you are permitted to enter the United States on an immigrant visa if the visa numbers retrogress as they have. It is important to note that marriage to a U.S. Citizen or holder of a Green Card does not automatically confer Green Card status to you. Talking to one of our experienced marriage visa lawyers is a perfect way to discuss all the options to get a Green Card.

A Green Card holder can sponsor his / her spouse and any unmarried children. Depending upon visa availability, any family relationship that a Green Card holder is permitted to sponsor may have to wait several years before being granted entry into the USA. It is necessary to remember that holders of Green Cards are barred from petitioning their parents for green cards. Non-resident family members of Green Card holders are put in a quota-limited group distinct from immediate relative applications for immediate family being petitioned by U.S. Citizens.

Our experienced immigration attorney will help you find legal ways to get your family members into this country as soon as possible.

One of the most complicated processes in immigration law is going from an H-1B visa to a Green Card. There are plenty of steps you and your employer need to take to make the move. This is important that you retain legal immigration status during the Green Card application process, which can be lengthy. In some conditions, when your Green Card application is being processed, you may seek an extension of your H-1B status within one-year intervals after the initial 6 years have elapsed. H-1B extension processing period typically is around 2 – 12 months but USCIS provides no guarantees of period at all unless the application is filed by premium processing.

Consulting with our experienced attorney to ensure adequate and prompt compliance while staying in line with legal immigration is essential to an obtaining permanent resident status.

The EB-1 visa is open to foreign nationals demonstrating outstanding talent in their area, be it science, music, education, business, or athletics. Extraordinary talent is usually shown by having “sustained national or international recognition.”

The EB-3 Visa is a U.S. visa (or green card) for “Skilled, Professional, or Other Workers” permanent residency.

Certification of the PERM or also known as labor certification is the method used to gain labor certification and is the first step in securing an employment immigrant visa (Green Card) for certain foreign nationals. It is also recognized as the Certificate for PERM work.
