Family & Citizenship
Bring a family member to the U.S.
File for Naturalization
Family-based immigration allows relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to immigrate to the United States and acquire lawful permanent resident status (Greencard). Family members immigrate either as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens or through the family preference system. The process involves filing a Petition for Alien Relative, and Immigrant Visa Processing or Adjustment of Status. If eligible, greencard holders can file for naturalization to become U.S. citizens after 3 or 5 years of continues residence. In certain instances children may acquire automatic citizenship upon adjustment of status or admission as a permanent resident with an immigrant visa.

Deportation Defense & Litigation
Contest Removability & Seek Relief Litigate Immigration Injustice
Those in the United States who are not citizens of the U.S. may be removed if they fall within one of the grounds of inadmissibility or deportability. Generally, an immigration judge determines whether a noncitizen will be removed from the United States in an immigration court proceeding called removal proceedings. The charges of removability are listed on form I-862 Notice to Appear (NTA). Those in removal proceedings should contest the charges of removability and determine if they may be eligible to seek relief from removal. Those in custody may be able to request custody redetermination, and release on bond. A removal order can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the the Federal Circuit Courts. A motion to reopen can reopen removal proceeings in certain instances so that an individual with a removal order can seek relief from removal.

Employment Visas
Obtain visas for employment or business activities
To work or visit the U.S. for work or business activities, the law requires proper visa or status providing employment authorization. Nonimmigrant employment-based visas generally facilitate a temporary period of residence and employment consistent with activities permitted under the terms of the visa. A foreign national may change nonimmigrant status if in the U.S. to a new classification permitting employment, or apply for a visa permitting such employment. For most categories filing a petition with USCIS by the employer is generally the fist step in the process.

Employment Immigration
Get a greencard through employment, credentials, or investment
Those with a desire to live in the U.S. permanently for employment can pursue an employment-based immigrant petition. If eligible, a foreign national can adjust status to a lawful permanent resident (greencard holder) or obtain an immigrant visa to request admission in such status. A numerical limitation applies to the employment-based (EB) immigrants which in certain cases can delay the process. Depending on the category, the process can involve labor certification through the PERM program, which will include a test of the labor market and filings with the Department of Labor, before an immigrant petition can be filed with USCIS.
