1. If you are in the U.S. with a valid visa which is about to expire and you do not want to return to your home country.  In many instances, foreign nationals who enter the US with a valid work, student, or tourist visa seek to remain in the US. There are several ways of doing this legally which will allow you to work and remain eligible to obtain a Green Card. We guide these persons through the alternatives most beneficial to them and their family and represent them throughout the complete change of visa procedure, Labor Certification process, and adjustment of status.
2. If your prior applications have been denied.  We will advise you on the mistakes you've made in the application process and whether those mistakes can be fixed.
3. If you have attempted the process on your own and simply cannot figure out what to do next.  The immigration process is notoriously complicated, and many individuals hire attorneys because they have reached the limits of their patience, time, and money.  In many instances, it is better to hire an attorney rather than improvise and cause unnecessary delay, complications, and expenses in your immigration process. You get what you pay for.
4. If you have committed or been convicted of any crime. Most USCIS forms ask whether you have committed or been convicted of a crime, and remember that you will be fingerprinted if you want to obtain any immigration benefit. Though not all crimes prevent you from Immigrating to the US, any false indication made on the forms subjects you to deportation.
5. If you have been deported or otherwise forced to leave the United States.  Not all removals from the United States will result in permanent restrictions to returning to the United States and there are specific waivers that may apply. We would consult with you and give you the alternatives available to you based on the facts of your case.
6. If you have a communicable disease.  Not all diseases are a permanent bar to immigration and there are waivers that may apply to your case.
7. If you have filed your immigration forms and have been waiting a long time for a response.  In many instances, we will be able to contact the USCIS and indicate to you the status or location of the application and set up an appointment for you or us as your legal representative to go in person to review the matter.
8. If your marriage to a U.S. citizen failed before you were able to file your petition to have the condition removed on your residency, and you will have to file alone.  The procedure for waiving the joint petition requirement can be extremely difficult, particularly when your former spouse and his or her family won't provide you with any evidence that the marriage was not fraudulent. We are able to assist you in these matters and guide you in terms of what evidence will be necessary to have the conditions removed.
9. If you are immigrating to the United States with your family and you have a child that could reach 21 years of age before your Green Card is granted..  For example, if you are obtaining a green card through employment, your spouse and your children under the age of 21 will also be eligible for green cards.  In such a case, you will want to consult with us to determine the fastest method of processing your paperwork so that your child will be able to obtain the Green Card as your dependent without 'aging-out'.
10. If you are obtaining a visa or Green Card based on an employment offer, but your prospective employer has not offered to handle the Immigration process.  The process of obtaining a visa or Green Card based on employment offers is complicated.  Failure to follow procedures correctly can result in lengthy delays, subjecting the foreign worker to deportation, and audits to the employer.  These can all be avoided by seeking the representation and guidance of a qualified Immigration attorney.
