How We Help
Family-Based Immigration
We prepare I-130s, consular processing, and adjustment of status for spouses, parents, and children. You’ll get a document list, properly completed forms, and interview preparation—plus strategies for common issues like prior entries, status gaps, and I-864 questions.
Asylum & Humanitarian Protection
We assess eligibility, nexus, and the one-year filing rule; prepare declarations and evidence; and guide credible-fear/bond issues. We also handle TPS, humanitarian parole, and related EAD applications with realistic timelines.
Waivers of Inadmissibility
I-601/I-601A and other waivers with hardship frameworks, evidence plans, and legal arguments tailored to your case history. We flag risks early and show how to strengthen equities.
Removal Defense (Immigration Court)
Master/Individual hearing prep, applications for relief, expert usage, and country-condition evidence. We make sure filings are complete and deadlines are met.
Naturalization & Citizenship
N-400 filings, continuous residence/physical presence analysis, language/civics exemptions, and interview prep. We also evaluate prior issues that could affect eligibility.
Employment & Investment Visas
E-2/EB-5 strategy, H-1B and PERM planning, and employer compliance. We map evidence to regulatory criteria and timing.
Immigration FAQs
What documents do I need for a marriage-based green card?
Typically passport, birth certificate, I-94 if any, marriage certificate, proof of bona fide relationship, prior immigration records, and the I-864 affidavit of support with tax evidence. We tailor the list to your entry history and whether you’re adjusting in the U.S. or through a consulate.
How long does asylum take in Southern California?
Timelines vary by office and court. Affirmative cases can take many months; defensive cases depend on the court’s calendar. We file complete applications, track biometrics/interviews, and update you on local scheduling trends.
Can I adjust status after a visa overstay?
Sometimes—eligibility depends on the petitioner (e.g., U.S. citizen spouse), manner of entry, and other factors. We review bars and waivers and advise whether consular processing or a waiver makes more sense.
What happens at a removal hearing?
You’ll have a master calendar hearing for scheduling and pleadings, then an individual hearing for testimony and evidence. We prepare filings, witnesses, and country-condition reports and explain what the judge must decide.
Do I get work authorization while my case is pending?
Many categories allow it, but the rules differ (asylum clock, parole/TPS categories, pending AOS). We identify your category and file the I-765 at the right time.
