New York Immigration Attorneys

Immigration law is constantly evolving — making knowledgeable, responsive legal counsel essential. Our firm offers personalized guidance across all stages of the immigration process, from initial filings to court representation.

Visa Petitions & Green Card Applications

We handle family-based, employment-based, student, investor, and humanitarian visas with careful preparation and attention to USCIS requirements.

Our attorneys assist permanent residents and eligible applicants in obtaining green cards through family sponsorship, employment, asylum, or adjustment of status.

Work Permits & Employment Authorization (EADs)

We help clients secure Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and renewals to ensure lawful work eligibility while immigration cases or status adjustments are pending.

Citizenship & Naturalization

We guide permanent residents through the naturalization process, assisting with application filings, interview preparation, and test readiness. Our team helps resolve complications such as criminal records or prior denials.

Deportation Defense & Removal Proceedings

Our attorneys defend clients facing ICE detention, deportation, or removal proceedings, providing experienced advocacy before immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and federal courts.

We pursue relief options such as cancellation of removal, asylum, waivers, and appeals to help protect your family unity and legal status.

We represent businesses in sponsoring foreign employees, handling H-1B petitions, L-1 intra-company transfers, EB-5 investor visas, and compliance with I-9 employment verification requirements.

What types of visas do you handle?

We represent clients in family-based, employment-based, student (F-1), investor (EB-5), and humanitarian (asylum or refugee) visa applications, as well as temporary and permanent residency filings.

How long does it take to get a green card?

Processing times vary by category and USCIS backlog. On average, family-based green cards take 10–24 months, while employment-based cases may take longer. We monitor every stage to minimize delays.

Can you help me if I’m facing deportation or ICE detention?

Yes. Our attorneys defend clients in removal proceedings, seeking relief through asylum, cancellation of removal, or waivers. We also handle bond hearings for detained individuals.

Do I need an attorney for citizenship or naturalization?

While not legally required, having an attorney ensures your application is accurate, complete, and supported by evidence. We help prepare for interviews, resolve complications, and prevent denials.

Can employers sponsor foreign workers?

Yes. We represent companies in filing H-1B, L-1, and PERM labor certification applications, ensuring full compliance with immigration and labor regulations.

What should I do if my visa was denied?

Contact an attorney immediately. Depending on the reason, you may be able to appeal, file a motion to reopen, or submit a new petition with additional documentation.

Do you represent clients outside New York?

Yes. Immigration law is federal, which means we can represent clients nationwide and internationally before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and immigration courts.
