Fighting the immigration bureaucracy
With so much at stake, the U.S. immigration system can feel like a frustrating bureaucratic nightmare. The convoluted laws can often seem callous and unreasonable, and the enormous government agencies can appear impenetrable. Our attorneys maneuver persistently through the red tape to ease some of the immense burden of dealing with:
- Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- U.S. Border Patrol (CBP)
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE)
- Department of Labor (DOL)
- Worldwide consulates and embassies
- Immigration court
- Federal court
- Detention facilities
Applying for a visa
Filling in your form is only the first step in your visa application process. The U.S. government sets strict requirements on qualifications and outlines inflexible procedures for filing. Mistakes on your application can lead to crucial delays and a potential denial with heartbreaking consequences. The disruption of your family, home, job and life in America, and in some cases, your freedom are at stake. Each type of visa comes with its own set of essential criteria, which must precisely match your qualifications. Our attorneys discuss your short-term and ultimate immigration goals to set up a long-range plan. We thoroughly analyze your situation to choose the appropriate pathway, and meticulously gather evidence that proves each element of your eligibility. We review red flags — such as past arrests, deportations or illegal employment — and address these potentially-damaging issues from the start.
Constantly-changing immigration laws
Immigration policy is under constant attack and the laws are frequently modified, creating an endlessly fluctuating immigration landscape with nonsensical roadblocks that tear families apart and block good employees from jobs in the U.S. The various agencies that administer immigration benefits regularly update their procedures, forms and guidelines, further sending the system into flux. We stay current on shifts in immigration law and remains ready to act upon potential changes in the pipeline. To successfully advise you, we consider both the laws as they exist and the possibilities for beneficial — as well as harmful — reforms. We relentlessly pursue your case and develop unique solutions to complicated issues.
