Frequently asked
Answers, before you ask.
Not legally — but immigration filings are unforgiving. A small mistake can mean years of delay or denial. Our role is to anticipate problems before USCIS does.
Yes. Depending on circumstances we can pursue cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, asylum, waivers, motions to reopen and appeals to the BIA and Federal Courts.
We routinely file H-1B, L-1A/B, O-1, E-1/E-2, TN and EB-1/EB-2/EB-3 petitions for startups, multinationals and individual professionals.
Generally five years after becoming a permanent resident — three years if you obtained your green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen and meet the other requirements.
