AREAS OF PRACTICE
Because immigration is a federal matter, immigration law is the same throughout the United States. Moreover, because of techology, including Skype, phone, fax and email, we can handle your case anywhere in the U.S., and send your case by mail to the US immigration agencies. For court cases or interviews which require an attorney present, we will travel to be with you at your hearing.
We help unite families through family-based petitions, including marriage and fiance visas (I-130 and I-129F); affidavits of support (DS 230 and I-864); consular processing; residency based on 245i, legal entries, Cuban reunification, or VAWA; and waivers for unlawful presence, crimes, and deportations (I-601A, I-601 and I-212).

We help people who have been a victim of a violent crime, including domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault, kidnapping, rape, or intent to commit a violent crime, to obtain a U visa. This visa lasts for four years, but after three years, most people qualify for residency.
