To
bring a foreign national fiance to the US requires a K-1
fiance visa.
This is a multi-step application process involving the U.S. citizenship
service and U.S. consulate abroad. I have helped many couples
navigate through this complex process and achieve success. A foreign
national's dependent children may also be included in this application
process and enter the U.S. with a K-2 visa. Read

A
U.S. Permanent Resident Card, also known as a Greed Card are the same.
Green cards are issues by USCIS. An individual with a Green
Card
has the right to live and work permanently in the United States. A
person’s valid Green Card also means that he or she is registered in
the U.S. in accordance with United States immigration law. An
alien with a green card application can obtain two important permits
while the case is pending: temporary work permit and temporary travel
document. Read More about Green Cards

As an immigration attorney, I represent companies requiring
non-immigrant visas for temporary

and investor

In addition, I work with employers
and
investors seeking immigrant visas such as EB-5 visas and
those
seeking visas to enter the U.S. based upon extra-ordinary ability in

Non-U.S.

U.S. for having violated their immigration status or because they have
committed certain crimes. I can help. If you or

before the Immigration Court. Immigration law is federal law

Applying
for U.S. citizenship
is an important decision. I have helped
many
lawful permanent residents through the naturalization process and
establish whether they are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. It
is important to discuss the naturalization test and citizenship process
with a qualified immigration attorney. Read about
Naturalization & Citizenship. |
All
too often and with increasing frequency, applications made for an
immigration benefit, defense to removal or deportation or visa abroad
are denied. In many cases, you have a right to appeal the
decision. As an immigration attorney, I routinely prepare and
submit appeals or waiver applications after the U.S. immigration
service, the U.S. consulate abroad, or Immigration Court has
made
a denial or finding that a waiver application is required for further
processing. Learn more
about Administrative
Appeals and Waiver applications. |

 Family
Law
Many U.S. immigration cases cross over and incorporate both immigration
and
family law issues such as international adoption, Violence Against
Women Act (VAWA),
U.S. citizenship &
naturalization,
special juvenile petitions and removal & deportation defense.
If you or a someone you know is not a U.S. citizen and facing
a
family law matter, contact an experienced immigration attorney to
determine whether immigration law is implicated and what considerations
must be made.

Persons wishing to obtain permanent resident status from outside the
U.S. must apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy. Presenting a
well-written and accurate visa application and supporting documentation
