Help with problems that arise after filing your case

Employment-Based Immigration matters

Each year this nation welcomes around 140,000 employment-based permanent residents to this country. In addition, we recorded more than 1.8 million temporary worker entries in 2021 as shown by I-94 records.[1] The latest DHS report issued in 2021 estimated more than 1.6 million temporary workers are in the country.[2] A small portion of these applicants require intervention when their applications/petitions encounter processing or other issues, such as

  • Petitioning company issues
  • Employee status issues
  • USCIS delays in processing
  • Spouse/life partner accompanying employee
  • Urgent/emergency travel issues
Family-Based Immigration Matters

This nation welcomed more than 450,000 family-based lawful permanent residents from over 200 countries in 2021[3] and applicants sometimes encounter unusual situations that require solutions not normally encountered:

  • Documentation and identity problems
  • Misunderstandings on required information
  • Previous misdeeds requiring waivers
  • Unusual delays in processing of cases
  • Issues that arise after filing that may affect outcomes
  • Death of petitioner or primary applicant before visa issuance
Department of State - U.S. embassies and consulates

U.S. Embassies and Consulates typically issue 7 million to 10 million nonimmigrant visas annually. They also issue around 500,000 immigrant visas each year.[4] In 2019, more than 200,000 prospective immigrants were found ineligible for immigrant visas, and over 3 million applicants were found ineligible for nonimmigrant visas.[5] Some of these individuals can benefit from a review of their application to ensure that a mistake was not made or determine whether there are grounds for waiving the ineligibility or other legal alternatives available to enter the country. We can assist with:

  • Visa ineligibility issues
  • Problems obtaining visa appointments 
  • “Administrative processing” issues
  •  Security issues
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)- Entry/Exit Issues

In 2021, more than 14 million people entered the United States with I-94 cards. In addition, more than 20 million non-I-94 nonimmigrant entries were recorded, primarily from Mexico and Canada.[6] When you experience a problem before entering the United States or at the airport, seaport or land border, we can assist in resolving:

  • Problems arising before boarding flights
  • Refused entry upon arrival and returned home
  • I-94  admission issues:
      • Incorrect period of admission
      • Incorrect category of admission
  • Mistreatment or errors by officers at Ports of Entry
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - Students, Exchange Visitors, Detention, Deportation and Removal Issues

Interactions with ICE, while rare, present opportunities for thoughtful interaction and often require immediate attention.

  • Students and exchange visitors and SEVIS issues
  • Persons currently in the United States facing deportation or removal
  • Detained individuals at detention facilities
  • Persons who have overstayed their visa
