Every case is different. This page explains categories in plain language - it is not advice about your specific situation.
Family petitions
A U.S. citizen or permanent resident may be able to sponsor certain family members - a spouse, child, parent, or sibling. Who qualifies and how long it takes depends on the relationship and the sponsor’s status.
Adjustment of status vs. consular processing
If you are already in the United States, you may adjust status here. If you are abroad, the case goes through a U.S. consulate instead. The right path depends on where you are and how you entered.
Green card renewal and removal of conditions
Permanent resident cards expire and must be renewed. A two-year conditional card requires a separate filing to remove the conditions before it expires.
Naturalization and the citizenship test
After meeting residency requirements, you may apply for citizenship. The process includes an interview and a civics and English test - we help you prepare for both.
Employment visas
Work-based visas connect a job offer to a specific category. Requirements and wait times vary a great deal by category and country of birth.
Humanitarian categories, including asylum
Asylum protects people who fear persecution if returned to their home country. There are strict deadlines involved, so do not wait to speak with someone. We also handle DACA renewals.
Removal defense
If you received a notice to appear in immigration court, treat it as urgent. Missing a hearing can result in an order of removal issued without you present. Call us as soon as you receive any notice.
Timelines are long, and not within anyone’s control
Most cases take months, some take years. Government processing times shift without warning, and no attorney can speed up an agency’s timeline. We will tell you honestly what we expect, and we will tell you when we simply do not know.
