Mission

Mission Statement

We believe in fostering a family-friendly environment that values diversity. We understand the difficulty in learning and understanding non-native languages and living in a foreign country. We take special care to cater to clients who have English as their second language. Our ability to communicate with clients who are not native English speakers puts us in a unique position to explain and provide general legal service to a currently under served market.

Our mission is to take a genuine interest in our clients, understand their objectives, and meet or exceed their expectations. We dedicate ourselves to these values:

For our clients, we will work hard, provide superior legal services on a timely, effective, and efficient basis, and maintain the highest standards of professional integrity.
For our firm, we will foster an enjoyable working environment, based on open communication and mutual respect, and will encourage initiative, innovation, teamwork, and loyalty.
For our community, we will continue our long tradition of service and leadership.

Business Philosophy

We find it important to treat our clients as friends and neighbors. We want to level with our clients and present information in a manner that is easy to understand. While we present our expert opinions, we will allow our clients to decide their own legal futures, and all major decisions will be made by the client and facilitated by the attorney.

CITIZENSHIP AND NATURALIZATION

There are two ways in which a person can become a U.S. Citizen, by birth or through the naturalization process. Naturalization is the process through which a foreign citizen becomes an American citizen. In general, you are eligible to become a citizen if you have been a permanent resident for a certain period of time.

GREEN CARDS (PERMANENT RESIDENT)

There are many different ways to obtain a green card. One way is through a family-sponsored visa and the other is through an employment-based petition. These avenues require that a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident family member or employer sponsor you. There are other ways to become a permanent resident that do not require a sponsor such as through the Diversity Visa Lottery or asylum.

FAMILY-BASED IMMIGRATION

Family members of U.S. citizens or LPR can seek permanent residency through a petition filed by that family member. Some relationships are subject to a quota system and are divided in family-based "preferences".

FIANCE VISAS

If you have a fiancé(e) abroad and would like to bring him or her into the United States to get married you can apply for a K-1 visa or a fiancé visa. A fiancé visa allows a foreign citizen to enter the United States for 90 days during which time he or she must marry the U.S. Citizen. After the marriage the newly married foreign citizen can apply to adjust his or her status to conditional permanent residence.

STUDENT VISA

If you are a foreign citizen who wishes to enroll in a full-time course and you do not intend to immigrate to the U.S., you may apply for a student visa. In applying for an F-1 visa, you must demonstrate that you are a bona fide nonimmigrant who has no intention of immigrating to the United States.

TOURIST VISA

For persons who wish to visit the United States temporarily for business, for pleasure or medical treatment, or a combination of both purposes, a visitor visa is available. Not all visitors need a visa. If your country is part of the visa waiver program no visa is needed and visitors from these countries can stay up to 90 days in the U.S. There are two types of B visas: B-1 business visitors (not valid for employment) and B-2 visitors for pleasure. A B-1 visa is for travelers whose general purpose is related to business or work. A B-2 visa is for travelers whose purpose is generally social or recreational such as tourism, to visit friends or relatives, or medical treatment.

TRASIT VISA

C visas are available for visitors who have a layover with a connecting flight to another country. C visas are for a maximum stay of 29 days and they may not be extended.
