What We Do
Offering Support and Guidance for All Your Immigration Needs
For Families, Visitors, and Students
Whether you're reuniting with loved ones, planning a visit, or pursuing your education in the U.S., immigration can be a life-changing opportunity—when guided with care and clarity. With so many visa options and requirements, the process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
Family-Based Immigration:
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can sponsor certain family members for permanent residency. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens—such as spouses, unmarried children, and parents—have visas readily available, while other family relationships fall under a preference system with annual caps.
Visitor Visas:
For temporary stays, individuals can apply for visas to visit the U.S. for tourism, business, or medical treatment. These visas require demonstrating ties to your home country and intent to return after your visit.
Student Visas:
Aspiring students can pursue education in the U.S. through student visas, which may also allow for limited work opportunities during or after studies, depending on the program.
For Business Owners Hiring Foreign Talent
Expanding your U.S. business by bringing in top international talent? We offer strategic legal support to help you navigate the complex process of hiring foreign professionals.

For employees with specialized knowledge, this visa allows for the transfer of professionals possessing unique expertise essential to the company's operations. The employee must have worked for the foreign entity for at least one continuous year within the preceding three years.

For Business Investors with Stakes in the U.S.
Considering a move to the U.S. through business or investment? Whether you're looking to expand your global enterprise, invest in a promising American venture, or create long-term opportunities for your family and team, the U.S. offers several immigration pathways tailored to investors and entrepreneurs. Understanding your options is key—and with the right legal guidance, the journey can be both strategic and rewarding.
E-1 Treaty Trader Visa:
Ideal for nationals from treaty countries engaged in substantial international trade with the U.S. Applicants must demonstrate that over 50% of their trade is between the U.S. and their home country, and they should be entering the U.S. to manage or possess specialized skills pertinent to the trade operations .
E-2 Treaty Investor Visa:

EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa:
This program offers a path to permanent residency for those investing $1,050,000—or $800,000 in targeted employment areas—in a new commercial enterprise that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers .
U.S. Citizenship & Naturalization
Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) may be eligible to become U.S. citizens through naturalization after meeting key requirements. The process considers several factors, including how long you've held LPR status, any extended time spent outside the U.S., your knowledge of English and U.S. civics, and whether you’ve demonstrated good moral character. Becoming a citizen brings meaningful benefits—like the right to vote, greater freedom to live abroad without risking your status, and the ability to sponsor more family members, including parents, siblings, and married children.
