Verify eligibility, history and consistency before filing
An immigration matter is more than a set of forms. Prior visas and filings, entries and exits, overstays, unauthorized employment, marriage and family history, sponsorship, criminal records and misrepresentation issues can change the available path and evidence required.
Matters we can assess and address
- Family petitions, marriage-based cases and relationship evidence
- Adjustment of status and consular-processing path assessment
- Green card renewal, removal of conditions and naturalization
- Interview preparation and responses to Requests for Evidence or Notices of Intent to Deny
- Consistency review of prior filings, travel and status history
- Potential immigration consequences of arrests, convictions or other criminal records
Helpful documents for a consultation
Bring passports, visas, I-94 records, green cards or work permits, prior applications and notices, travel records, and relevant birth, marriage, divorce, tax and income documents. For any criminal record, obtain certified court dispositions when possible rather than relying only on a background check.
Important now
Eligibility and procedure vary with individual history. Do not repeat or revise a prior statement without understanding the effect. Before filing, confirm that the forms, evidence and timeline fit together.
Marriage, talent-based immigration and temporary work categories
A marriage-based green card review considers the relationship, sponsorship and immigration history. Talent-based options may include EB-1, EB-2 or a national interest waiver, but the requirements and supporting evidence differ between categories.
H-1B specialty-occupation cases require review of the position, qualifications and employer. L-1 cases involve qualifying intracompany transfers and distinguish managerial or executive roles from specialized-knowledge roles. These are nonimmigrant classifications and do not automatically result in permanent residence. Provide a résumé, education and employment records, employer or affiliated-company information, and prior immigration filings for an initial assessment.
