Work Permits
You can work temporarily in the United States as a nonimmigrant if a prospective employer files a petition with USCIS on your behalf. USCIS' Temporary (Nonimmigrant) Workers webpage describes the main nonimmigrant temporary worker classifications.
If you have the right combination of skills, education, and/or work experience, you may be able to immigrate to the United States by seeking an employment-based immigrant visa. USCIS's Permanent Workers webpage describes the five employment-based immigrant visa categories.
Student Visas
If you would like to study as a full-time student in the United States, you will generally need a student visa.
The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows you to enter the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in a language training program. You must be enrolled in a program or course of study that culminates in a degree, diploma, or certificate and your school must be authorized by the U.S. government to accept international students.
The M-1 visa (Vocational Student) category includes students in vocational or other nonacademic programs, other than language training.
Citizenship Application
By obtaining your permanent residency, you are authorized to live, work, and drive legally in the United States on a permanent basis. By becoming a permanent resident, you also become eligible for U.S. citizenship within 3-5 years. In the majority of cases, it also allows you to freely travel abroad including to your home country, as well as other important rights such as voting and citizenship for children under 18.
Removal Defense
Removal Defense can be a stressful and confusing time for individuals and families facing potential deportation from the United States. If you have an upcoming case, it is important that you are represented by an Immigration Attorney who will diligently fight for your rights. We will make every effort to resolve your case favorably in Immigration Court. We are here to help you, so don’t attempt to do this alone.
Family Immigration
The family-based immigration process typically has two or more family members involved. The family member requesting the visa, known as the petitioner; and the non-citizen family member is seeking legal immigration status, known as the beneficiary. The Petitioner must be a United States citizen or legal permanent resident. In certain cases the beneficiary may also have a spouse or children that can use the family-based immigration process as derivative beneficiaries of the primary beneficiary.
