Our Immigration Services

Fiance Visas

If your betrothed lives abroad, applying for a K-1 visa – otherwise known as a fiance visa – paves the way for them to enter the U.S. legally, so that you can start your life together in the same country! A fiance visa is a non-immigrant visa; once you and your spouse marry, they will be able to apply for a marriage green card and obtain lawful permanent resident status. The marriage must take place within 90 days of their entry into the country.

You, the American citizen, must complete Form I-129F to initiate the process. The application is extremely intricate, so it is imperative that the utmost attention is applied when completing it. Once the application is submitted, there are a host of other requirements for both you and your fiance, such as supporting documents, interviews, and more. But at the end of it all, you and the person you love will be able to start your life together in America!

Green Cards

Whether you are applying for a family-based green card, employment-based green card, or other category, you can trust that our experienced Tempe immigration lawyer can help you save time, money, and stress in the process. He will ensure that you follow each step correctly and in a timely manner, so that you have the best chance at being approved! As a lawful permanent resident, you gain rights to employment, the ability to sponsor family members looking to immigrate, the opportunity to become a naturalized citizen, and more!

Asylum

If your safety would be in jeopardy if you returned to your native country (due to political or religious persecution, war, famine, or other dangers that threaten you personally or everyone in your country), you may be able to apply for either asylum or Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The U.S. designates some countries as having TPS, and citizens of those countries who apply and are approved can live in the U.S. as long as that status remains. While both TPS and asylum are intended to provide a safe haven and a path for refugees to eventually get their green cards, getting either status is a difficult and complex process; when the stakes are life and death, working with a Tempe immigration lawyer is vital. 

Citizenship

To attain U.S. citizenship, you must satisfy many specific eligibility requirements, undergo a background test, successfully complete an interview, pass an English and civics assessment, submit various forms, and more. A setback at any stage could mean you have to start over or file an appeal. Any marks on your criminal record could halt the process altogether. Our team recognizes how important this is to you. We are equipped to ensure that all of your paperwork is correct, that you are prepared for the interview, and that you have the adequate study materials/resources you need. We can advise you from start to finish!
