Practice areas
A full-service immigration practice. If your matter crosses several of these areas at once, and most do, you work with one team across all of them.
Work visas, labor certification and employment green cards for engineers, physicians, researchers and the companies that hire them.
Reuniting spouses, children, parents and siblings through petitions, adjustment of status and consular processing.
Asylum, refugee status and protection for survivors of persecution, violence and trafficking.
Representation in immigration court, bond hearings, appeals and motions to reopen.
F-1 admissions, OPT and STEM OPT, CPT, status violations and reinstatement.
E-2 treaty investors, EB-5 permanent residence and founder pathways for people building businesses in the United States.
Naturalisation applications, derivative citizenship claims and cases complicated by history.
I-9 audits, public access files, site visits and government investigations for employers.
How we work
Immigration is stressful because it is opaque. Our process is built to remove the opacity: you always know where your case stands and what happens next.
A direct conversation about your situation and your objective. You leave knowing which categories you qualify for, what the realistic timeline looks like, and what it costs, before you commit to anything.
We identify the strongest filing route and the fallback routes behind it. Risks, inadmissibility issues and evidentiary gaps are surfaced now, while there is still time to address them.
Your file is assembled to the standard an adjudicator applies, not the minimum the form requires. You review everything before it is filed, and nothing is submitted you have not seen.
We file, track and respond. Requests for evidence, interviews and hearings are prepared for in advance, and you are told where your case stands without having to ask.
