Permanent Residency
One of the primary pathways to obtaining permanent residency is through employment. By filing a petition, or having an employer file a petition on their behalf, foreign nationals can obtain immigration visas that will allow them to enter the United States and live and work in the country on a permanent basis.
Non-Permanent Residents
Certain eligible foreign workers can obtain nonimmigrant visas that will allow them to work in the United States for a temporary period of time. There are a number of different nonimmigrant classifications that are organized according to a worker’s job skills and industry.
Family-Based
Qualified foreign nationals can obtain permanent residency through family members who are either green card holders or United States citizens. There are many eligibility requirements, and applicants will be given visa preference categories according to their familial relationship and the immigration status of their family member.

Green Cards
Green cards are the official government document that gives foreign nationals the right to permanently reside in the United States. Applicants can file for green cards through family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, refugee, or asylum status or other special circumstances.

Immigration Fraud
As the immigration process can be extremely difficult, frustrating and highly competitive, there has been a boom in the amount of organizations and individuals who offer fraudulent immigration services. All those interested in receiving assistance for their immigration issue should work only with qualified and authorized parties.
Immigration & Nationality Act
In 1952, the INA officially abolished the racial restrictions that were placed on U.S. immigrants up until that time. The INA also brought many other significant changes and improvements to immigration law in our country, and our team is ready to help you use this law to your benefit.
Detention Defense
The United States detains thousands of non-citizens each year, including nonimmigrant visa holders and permanent resident green card holders. Qualified legal representation can use a variety of legal actions to defend against detention.

Deportation
Deportation and removal proceedings involve the formal expulsion of a non-citizen from the United States. Under U.S. immigration law, there are six main reasons why a non-citizen may face removal proceedings, all of which can be defended against by capable immigration attorneys.

Naturalization & Citizenship
As the immigration process can be extremely difficult, frustrating and highly competitive, there has been a boom in the amount of organizations and individuals who offer fraudulent immigration services. All those interested in receiving assistance for their immigration issue should work only with qualified and authorized parties.
Visas
Visas are legal documents that permit foreign nations to enter the United States. They can be awarded as immigrant visas for permanent residents or nonimmigrant visas for foreign citizens who will be staying in the U.S. temporarily. There are also many various categories of visas, including student visas, work visas and others.
Waivers
Certain foreign citizens may qualify for the Visa Waiver Program, which can allow them to enter the United States without having to undertake the visa application process. In order to qualify, applicants must be nationals or citizens of one of 37 participating countries.

Criminal Charges
Allegations of a criminal offense can be devastating for anyone, but they are extremely detrimental for non-citizens. Depending on the circumstances involved, non-citizens accused of criminal charges may face detention and deportation proceedings.
