Clear Guidance in a Changing System
Immigration outcomes shape families and futures. We guide clients through petitions, interviews, court hearings, and — where appropriate — federal litigation to address unreasonable delays. Our practice includes family-based immigration (I-130, marriage-based adjustment, fiancé(e) visas), humanitarian protection (asylum, withholding of removal, CAT, VAWA), removal defense (bond, cancellation, waivers), and naturalization and citizenship.
Because policies and procedures evolve, we keep you current on what the law requires now. We organize evidence, draft clear affidavits, anticipate RFEs, and conduct thorough interview and hearing preparation so you understand the process and feel ready to tell your story.
Key Services
Family-Based Immigration
Spouse, parent, child, fiancé(e). Adjustment of status or consular processing, affidavit of support, and interview preparation.
Asylum & Humanitarian Relief
Asylum, withholding of removal, CAT, VAWA, and related relief with careful documentation and credible testimony preparation.
Removal Defense
Bond advocacy, cancellation, waivers, and structured records for the Immigration Judge — and appeals to the BIA where warranted.
Naturalization & Citizenship
N-400 eligibility review, document organization, civics and interview prep, and addressing prior issues that could affect approval.
Cross-Practice Advantage
Criminal cases can affect admissibility and immigration relief. We align criminal-defense and immigration strategy to avoid avoidable bars and preserve options. Where family-court orders support immigration relief, we coordinate the evidence coherently across forums — one plan, one firm, no gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an immigration lawyer cost in New York City?
Immigration attorney fees vary by matter type and complexity. Many petitions are handled on a flat-fee basis; removal and federal cases may be structured differently. We offer a free initial consultation so you can understand your situation before committing. Contact our office to discuss fees for your specific matter.
What is the difference between adjustment of status and consular processing?
Adjustment of status allows a person already in the U.S. to obtain a green card without leaving. Consular processing is completed at a U.S. embassy abroad. The right path depends on your current status, visa availability, and individual circumstances. Contact us to identify the best route for your case.
Can I apply for asylum if I entered the United States without inspection?
Entry without inspection does not automatically bar asylum eligibility. However, there is a strict one-year filing deadline from the date of entry, and various bars may apply. Given the stakes and complexity, an attorney should evaluate your facts before you file. Contact us for a confidential review.
Do you offer consultations in Spanish, Albanian, or Mandarin?
Yes. Our office conducts consultations directly in English, Spanish, and Albanian. We arrange interpreter support for Mandarin, French, Italian, Greek, Russian, Arabic, and other languages. Language is never a barrier to speaking with us.
What happens at a removal hearing in New York Immigration Court?
A removal hearing is held before an Immigration Judge who determines whether you are removable and whether you qualify for relief such as cancellation, asylum, or voluntary departure. You have the right to an attorney at your own expense. Contact us as soon as you receive a Notice to Appear — early preparation is critical.
