What is Challenging about Immigration?

"Fiercely independent, in love with freedom, convinced we can make it, we are like no other people on earth. The self-made country."
-Chris Mathews

Since September 11, 2001, the practice of Immigration Law has grown in complexity. While there has been little change in the law and regulations, policies within the processing centers and consulates are in a constant state of revision. In the present environment, Immigration petitions present a daunting task. Thus, it is imperative to choose the right professional who will provide meticulous and personal attention to your matter.

It is no longer possible to simply complete the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services' forms, routinely submit evidence and feel secure in your submission. Our legal team carefully designs the strategy in conformance with the immigration laws and regulations to meet your personal and business goals.

Creating your Strategy

Prior to your first contact with the US consulate abroad, it is important to clarify your short and long term goals. You should always truthfully state your intentions whether addressing consular personnel or United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at the border. This is increasingly important for students, as the proposed regulations no longer permit an individual to enter as a visitor and change their status to student unless it is specifically noted on his/her admission form upon being admitted to the United States. It is prudent to immediately comply with this procedure to avoid any question of honorable intent.

Each non-immigrant visa requires specific evidence to be presented upon entry. An experienced professional will carefully prepare you for your arrival. It is imperative that one receive excellent legal advice at the outset rather than expensive attempts to correct errors at a later date.
