USCIS Representation
Our firm represents U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, asylees, and their family members before United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Often, we represent persons seeking benefits when there is a potential ground of ineligibility or deportability. For example, a permanent resident applying to renew a permanent resident card or for naturalization may be concerned about a criminal conviction. We also represent persons applying for adjustment of status or an immigrant visa where there is a potential ground of inadmissibility, such as for past unlawful presence in the United States or misrepresentation.
However, we also welcome less complex cases where the applicant prefers the assistance of an experienced professional with the various forms and procedures.
Our representation includes an analysis of your eligibility for the benefit sought, guidance in collecting the necessary evidence, professional form preparation, and attorney advocacy if any problems arise.
In cases where an interview is necessary, the attorney will prepare you for the interview. Additionally, you have the option of attorney attendance and representation at your USCIS interview. We regularly represent clients at the San Francisco and San Jose USCIS Field Offices.
Embassy/Consulate Representation
We often represent applicants for immigrant visas or K-1 fiancé/ée visas at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. We assist with application preparation, evidence collection, and correspondence with the consular officer re eligibility issues. We also help prepare the applicant for the critical visa interview, including by providing a mock interview to help the applicant feel more comfortable and confident.
