Practice areas
Immigration Services
We offer a full range of immigration services tailored to meet the needs of our clients — and we will tell you plainly when a route that looks obvious is not the right one.
Family-Based Immigration
Reuniting spouses, parents, children and siblings — the work our founder describes as the reason he practises immigration law.
Adjustment of Status
Adjustment of Status is how an eligible person already inside the United States becomes a lawful permanent resident without leaving the country for a consular interview abroad.
K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
The K-1 brings the fiancé(e) of a United States citizen to the country so the couple can marry within ninety days and then apply for a green card.
Family Petitions
A family petition is the document that establishes the relationship. Whether your relative waits months or years after that depends entirely on which category they fall into.
Keeping Families Together
KAFT was announced in 2024 as a parole-in-place process for noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of United States citizens. Its status has since changed, and what matters now is which of the remaining routes fits your family.
Employment & Investment Immigration
Our founder started out working exclusively in EB-5 investment immigration, then moved into the employment categories. It remains a core part of the practice.
EB-1A Extraordinary Ability
EB-1A is the immigrant category for people who have risen to the very top of their field. It needs no employer and no labor certification, which is why it is both the most attractive category and the most frequently misjudged.
EB-1C Executive Transfer
EB-1C is how a company moves a manager or executive from an operation abroad to a related United States entity on a permanent basis.
EB-5 Investor Visas
EB-5 grants permanent residence to an investor whose capital creates jobs for American workers. It is where our founder began his career, and it remains part of the practice.
Work & Student Visas
Whether you are seeking a tourist visa, a student visa or an employment-based visa, we guide you through the application process to maximise your chances of success.
Humanitarian Immigration
Protection for people fleeing persecution, and relief for the families of those who serve.
Asylum & Refugee
For those seeking protection from persecution, we provide guidance through the asylum process — starting with the deadline that quietly ends more claims than any legal argument does.
Military Parole in Place
Parole in Place is a discretionary benefit for the families of those who serve. For a family member who entered without inspection, it can be the difference between a green card here and years apart.
Citizenship & Permanent Residence
From a first green card to the oath of allegiance — and the requirements along the way that most often catch people out.
Naturalization (N-400)
Ready to become a United States citizen? We assist clients through naturalization from the initial application to interview preparation.
Good Moral Character
Since 1790, applicants for United States citizenship have had to show good moral character. It is the requirement that most often derails an otherwise strong application.
Certificate of Citizenship
The N-600 is not an application to become a citizen. It is an application for proof of citizenship you already have — through a parent, at birth or afterwards.
Green Card Applications
Navigating the path to permanent residency can be challenging. We provide personalised support for family-based and employment-based green card applications, making sure the documentation is thorough and accurate.
Renewals & Replacements
Keeping your status current is mostly a matter of dates. The two that matter are the expiry of a ten-year card and the ninety-day window before a conditional card runs out.
Immigrant vs. Nonimmigrant Intent
Immigrant intent and nonimmigrant intent are fundamental concepts in United States immigration law, and the difference between them decides more visa outcomes than any other single factor.
Deportation & Removal Defense
When someone is detained or served with a Notice to Appear, the first days shape everything that follows.
Deportation Defense
If you or a loved one is facing deportation, we fight to protect your rights and explore every available option. Our experience in complex cases lets us build defenses tailored to individual circumstances.
ICE Holds & Detention
An ICE hold — a detainer — is a request that local law enforcement notify ICE before releasing someone. When it is honoured, a criminal release becomes an immigration detention.
Entry Without Inspection
In September 2025 the Board of Immigration Appeals issued two precedential decisions that substantially expanded who can be detained without any bond hearing at all.
Criminal & Immigration
When a noncitizen is arrested, the immigration consequences often outlast the criminal case — and they are decided by the precise words of a plea, not by the sentence served.
Waivers & Inadmissibility
A waiver case is an evidence case. What decides it is the record you build, not the form you file.
I-601A Provisional Waiver
The I-601A is a crucial tool for people who are inadmissible because of unlawful presence. It is decided before you travel, which is the whole point of it.
INA §212 Inadmissibility
Inadmissibility is the reason a great many otherwise straightforward cases stall. Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act is the list, and each ground has its own waiver — or none.
Complex Civil Litigation
Protecting the rights of foreign nationals against those who seek to take advantage of them.
23 practice areas. If what you need is not listed, call us anyway — immigration problems rarely arrive with a label on them.
Talk to an attorney about your case
Every case turns on its own facts. Tell us what has happened and we will tell you plainly which options apply — and which do not.
Consultations in English, Spanish and Mandarin.
