Family members in immigration detention
If you have a loved one who is currently in immigration detention, please contact us to discuss what can be done.
Services
Our firm practices exclusively in the area of immigration law. We have experience in a wide array of immigration matters, and we are dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of the United States immigration process.
Where we focus
Our primary focus
Our primary focus is on assisting non-citizens who have been detained by U.S. immigration officials and are facing potential deportation from the United States. In addition to detention matters, we assist clients who are in the United States and would like to petition for family members or fiancé(e)s living overseas to immigrate permanently to the United States.
Family-based petitions
In every family-based petition there is a petitioner and a beneficiary. The petitioner is the U.S. citizen or green card holder who is petitioning for a foreign relative to receive a green card. The beneficiary is the foreign relative receiving the green card.
Fiancé(e) visas
A fiancé visa is available to a foreigner intending to marry a U.S. citizen in the U.S. Also known as a K-1 visa, it is the first step towards citizenship for the foreign fiancé. The marriage must take place within 90 days of entering the country.
Also handled
Other immigration matters
It would be difficult to list every immigration matter we can handle. If you have any questions about your situation, we would like the opportunity to talk with you and determine whether our firm is the best fit for you. If we don’t think we are the right attorneys for your case, we can offer information about what type of attorney to look for.
Permanent residence
Green cards—also known as permanent resident cards—allow people to live and work permanently in the United States. We have experience helping clients become permanent residents through family, employment, special immigrant status, refugee or asylee status, and as victims of human trafficking, crime or abuse.

Citizenship
If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) and would like to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, we can help. A USCIS interview is part of the process; we help our clients prepare, and we attend the interview with them.

Work permits
Almost all non-U.S. citizens must have an Employment Authorization Document (EAD, commonly known as a “work permit”) to legally work in the United States. We routinely apply for work permits in connection with applications for permanent residence, asylum, and cancellation of removal.

USCIS appeals
If you filed a petition with USCIS and it was denied, you may be able to appeal that decision. It’s crucial that appeals are filed within 30 days of the USCIS decision.
