Immigration Related Cases We Handle
At Walker & Ismail, we understand the importance of navigating the complex legal landscape of immigration law. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through a wide range of immigration matters, including:
Visas
Non-immigrant visas
One common misconception about visas is that only immigrants need visas. In reality, anyone visiting the United States must have some type of visa to be allowed in the country. Non-Immigrant visas are for temporary stays in the United States. We can assist with popular options like:
- B1 (business visitor) visas: For short-term business trips like attending conferences or negotiating contracts.
- B2 (tourist) visas: For pleasure travel like sightseeing or visiting family and friends.
- Fiancé(e) visas (K-1): To bring your fiancé(e) to the United States for marriage.
- Student visas: To pursue academic studies at an accredited U.S. institution.
Immigrant visas
When you think of visas, this is typically what you think of. These visas are the first step towards obtaining permanent residency in the United States. We can help you with:
- Employment visas: For individuals with skills sought after by U.S. employers, such as the H-1B visa for specialty occupations.
- Family visas: To reunite with immediate family members who are U.S. citizens or green card holders.
We also provide comprehensive services for securing both immigrant and non-immigrant visas, ensuring you have the right visa type for your needs.
Green Cards
A green card grants you permanent resident status in the United States, allowing you to live and work here permanently. Unlike visas, which are temporary, a green card is a pathway to eventual U.S. citizenship. We can assist you in applying for a green card through various categories, such as employment, family sponsorship, or marriage to a U.S. citizen.
Appeals
If you have received an unfavorable decision on your immigration case, we can help you navigate the appeals process. Our attorneys understand the complexities of immigration appeals and will work tirelessly to advocate for your rights.
US Citizenship / Naturalization
Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant achievement. We can guide you through the naturalization process, which includes meeting eligibility requirements, passing a citizenship test, and attending an interview.
Solutions for Victims of Crimes
We understand the unique challenges faced by victims of crimes, such as domestic violence, human trafficking, or violent crime. Our attorneys can explore potential immigration options available to you, such as U visas for victims of crime or T visas for victims of human trafficking.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
DACA is a program that provides temporary protection from deportation and work authorization for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. We can advise you on your options if you have DACA status and help you understand any potential changes to the program.
