Visas
Many types of U.S. visas exist. They fall into two general categories that are based on the purpose of one’s travel to the country and require very specific documentation. Those wishing to live permanently in the U.S. need an IV, or immigrant visa. Those who maintain permanent residences outside the U.S. but are visiting for medical treatment, work, study or tourism can apply for an NIV, or nonimmigrant visa.
Employment-based or Family-based Immigration
If you are a foreign worker who wants to enter the United States for temporary or permanent employment, U.S. immigration law provides several paths. We can help you determine your best options and see you through the process.
If you want to emigrate to the U.S. to join your family, you will need a family-based immigrant visa. But which one? There are two kinds, with different requirements. One applies only if you want to join members of your immediate family. The other, “family preference,” involves more distant relatives.
Citizenship and Naturalization
The multiple paths to U.S. citizenship and nationalization have various requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). We can assist you throughout the process.
Asylum and Withholding of Removal
Non U.S. citizens who are physically in the country can apply for several types of relief from deportation: Asylum and ‘withholding of renewal.’ We can help guide you in the best approach for your case.
Deportation and Removal
The number of non-citizens deported from the U.S. for violating immigration laws has been rising steadily for about a decade. Deportation is ordered by an immigration judge and managed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We fight hard to build a strong case on your behalf.
