Case Studies
Case of M.A.
We helped M through his EB-5 immigration process and helped him and his wife naturalize. Right after their naturalization, they departed the US for several months with their 10 year old child. Because she was under the age of 18, she was not able to naturalize. We helped M apply for a US passport for his daughter at the US Embassy abroad, and after they returned to the US, helped them apply for a Certificate of Citizenship for her.
Case of N.K.
We rendered legal support in obtaining a B-2 visa for a young, unmarried woman with no children nor property ownership.
Case of V.B.
V had three children from a previous marriage. She became acquainted with Mr. Z, a US citizen, and after 6 months, they were married. Located in the US, she and her children filed applications to adjust status. Unfortunately, their lawyer did not file for advance parole on their behalf and did not inform V that she was not permitted to travel outside the US while the adjustment of status applications were pending. V and her children traveled back to their home country and discovered that they were not able to return to the United States. As a result, they could not attend their adjustment interviews and their adjustment applications were denied. After this, she contacted our firm. We were able to have her case transferred to the US Embassy in her country, and shortly thereafter, she and her children received immigrant visas.
Case of S.K.
S moved to the US when she was 15 and soon received a green card. After five years, she wanted to become a citizen. The problem for S is that she has had a couple of run-ins with the law — a DUI arrest, some traffic infractions, and leaving the scene of an accident. To naturalize, one must show “good moral character”. After analyzing these incidents, contacting her previous criminal defense attorneys, and gathering strong letters of rehabilitation, we represented S in her naturalization process. She successfully naturalized.
Case of V.M.
V is a famous artist. His son worked and lived in the US on an H-1B visa. As V became older, he decided to move to the US. But because his son’s visa did not enable him to sponsor his father, V began to consider other possibilities. After reviewing his qualifications, awards, and achievements, we advised V that he would appear to qualify to immigrate as an artist with extraordinary ability. Within a year after filing the petition, V received his immigrant visa and moved to the US near his son.
Case of G.C.
G, a permanent resident, traveled to her home country to take care of her sick and elderly mother. G’s stay became protracted because of the dire nature of her mother’s illness. She remained outside the US for more than a year. We helped her apply for a returning resident visa (SB-1), documenting her mother’s sickness and her intention to return to the United States. Issuance of the visa enabled her to return to the US and her children there.
Case of S.N.
S, who was granted asylum in the US, returned to his home country to attend the funeral of his brother. Because of the sudden death, S did not have time to obtain a Refugee Travel Document. S applied to the US Embassy in his home country for a Document but it was refused. With our assistance, he was able to obtain the Document while abroad and he was able to return to the US.
Case of T.L.
In violation of Department of State rules, a consular officer refused to issue an L-2 visa to T unless her husband, in valid L-1 status, returned from the United States. After we advised departmental lawyers of this breach, T promptly received her visa.
Case of A.T.
The mailing address used by A, a Green Card Lottery winner, seemed suspicious to the consul officer, so he decided to suspend processing of the application. We contacted consular management, calling into question the fishing expedition of the consular officer and within days, A and his family received their immigrant visas — with less than one month remaining before the expiration of the program.
Case of V.K.
We represented V in his application for US citizenship. V was born in the US more than 60 years ago. He was born into a family of employees of the Ministry of Trade. Because his father was not in the “blue list”, he was eligible for US citizenship. We managed to obtain a notarized copy of his birth certificate, which he presented to the US Embassy. This enabled the Embassy to issue him a US passport.
