Successes & Reviews
Linda Lee and her team were incredibly helpful, responsive and transparent every step of the way. From our first initial call to receiving approval of benefits, they were great. They left no stone unturned while collecting details for our case ensuring we had no issues further along the process. If you’re looking for an efficient and friendly team to help you through your green card application process, my wife and I would highly recommend them. Thank you Linda & co!

January 4th, 2023.Immigration Law Office of Los Angeles got me my Green Card this fall. I had hired attorney previously to make this happen but with no results. After ILOLA started the process, things started moving forward. Every step was well planned and I was informed constantly how things were advancing. I am very happy customer. The process costed less than I was quoted by many other Law Offices. This was worth every penny and every second. If you really want to help yourself, please talk to these great people.

December 15th, 2022.Thank you to Linda, Juan, Arturo, Angelique, and Winston! We started our green card journey with a different attorney. After working for 1.5 years with this initial attorney we still hadn’t made any progress in establishing citizenship. 6.5 months after starting work with Linda’s team my husband has his green card. They were amazing every step of the way. We strongly recommend this team to anyone needing help with immigration issues.

April 29, 2022.I can only recommend the immigration services offered by ILOLA. If you are looking for an attorney office that cares, look no further! My wife and I started the GC application process in August 2022, and we received our GC in March 2023 (8 months). The whole team was a great support during the whole process, always reachable, and answering calls and emails within minutes! Thanks again to Linda, Winston, Arturo, and Juan for making this happen.

Immigration Lawyers
in Los Angeles
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:
- Employment visas, such as H-1B visas, O-1 visas, J1 and H-2B visas (nanny visas), EB-1 visas, EB-2 visas, L-1 visas, and H-1B transfers;
- Investment visas, including EB-5 and E-2 visas; and
- Family visas, such as Spouse, Parents, Child and the K-1 fiancée visa.
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 a Los Angeles
Immigration Attorney Can Help
Because the immigration application process is so complex and filled with potential pitfalls, it is often a good idea to work with an experienced immigration attorney.
As an initial matter, a 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.
An 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.

Immigration Law FAQs
How to become a citizen? What is the method of applying for a US application?
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 an attorney to see whether you qualify for exemptions from criteria.

Many exceptions exist to many of the criteria and it’s important to check with an attorney to see whether you qualify for exemptions from criteria.
How do I move from Green Card to Citizenship?
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. An experienced immigration attorney can assist during this process.
How can I get my parents a Green Card?
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. An experienced attorney will help insure 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.
May I receive a Green Card by marriage?
You can gain permanent greencard 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.
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 it has in the past. 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 an experienced immigration lawyer is a perfect way to discuss all the options to get a Green Card.
Could a Holder of a Green Card sponsor a member of the family?
A holder of a Green Card can both 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 the Green Card 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.
An experienced Immigration attorney will help you find legal ways to get your family members into this country as soon as possible.
What is the Green Card process with H1B?
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 lapsed. 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 an experienced attorney to ensure adequate and prompt compliance while staying in line with legal immigration is essential to an obtaining permanent resident status.
What is the I 601 waiver?
An I-601 Request for Waiver of Reasons of Inadmissibility allows a non-citizen alien to immigrate to the United States, change their status to permanent residency or request entry to the United States in a non-immigrant position where certain grounds of inadmissibility, conditions or actions preclude them from being otherwise admissible. The I-601 rule extends to those aliens who, based on certain grounds of inadmissibility, have been found to be ineligible for entry into the United States.
