Family Petition Approved
We successfully overcame a presumption of non-bona fide marriage and potential ineligibility in a family-based petition involving a Cambodian client with a prior felony charge. Although the criminal history raised scrutiny, we established that it was unrelated to the authenticity of the marital relationship and did not impair the foreign spouse’s eligibility to build a life in the United States. We further demonstrated that the spouse had full knowledge of the prior charge, reinforcing the credibility and transparency of the relationship. Additional corroborating evidence, including documentation of the couple’s child, supported the bona fides of the marriage. The petition was approved after an 18-month process.



Fiancé Visa Approved
We assisted a Venezuelan beneficiary, residing in Trinidad and Tobago, navigate a unique challenge during her fiancé (K‑1) visa process. Although she was asked to provide a police report for her visa interview, she was unable to obtain her Venezuelan criminal record in time due to circumstances in Venezuela that made the document effectively unavailable. We prepared and submitted a detailed argument explaining the situation and requested an exemption from the police certificate requirement. As a result, the U.S. consulate approved her visa, and she was able to enter the United States. The fiancé petition was approved in approximately 2 months, and the consular visa process, including the interview, took about 4 months overall.​

Marriage Green Card Approved
Our client, a Guatemalan national, entered the U.S. without inspection as a minor and had accumulated over 10 years of unlawful presence, including working without authorization. She had previously obtained DACA and later traveled abroad using Advance Parole. Her situation posed a significant challenge: not all Advance Parole entries are automatically recognized for adjustment of status. Immigration law continually evolves, and authorities closely examine the timeline to determine whether a recent entry can eliminate the effect of prior unlawful entries and be treated as a lawful entry—a critical factor for eligibility. We conducted a detailed, evidence-based analysis demonstrating that her most recent entry under Advance Parole should be considered lawful and that her prior overstay and unauthorized work should not prevent approval. By carefully presenting this argument, we helped her navigate the complex legal framework and establish eligibility for adjustment of status as the spouse of a U.S. citizen. As a result, she successfully obtained her green card within 6 months, turning a complex and high-risk situation into a clear success. 


Parent Green Card Approved
Our client, a Brazilian national, had entered the U.S. without inspection and accrued over 20 years of unlawful presence, including working without authorization. She initially consulted us regarding a U-Visa as a victim of crime she experienced nearly 18 years ago. Despite the age of the case, we successfully contacted law enforcement and obtained the necessary certification. During a detailed review, we discovered that her uncle had filed a family petition for her father back in 1999. This triggered eligibility under the 245(i) provision, allowing certain individuals with prior unlawful entries to adjust status if they have an immediate family relationship with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The case was complex, generating multiple RFEs and an Intent to Deny, involving USCIS supervision and attorney review. Through careful, detailed legal analysis, we demonstrated why she was eligible to adjust status despite her prior unlawful entry. As a result, she successfully obtained her green card as the parent of a U.S. citizen. The entire process took approximately one year.
 


USCIS Asylum Approved
We assisted a client from Trinidad and Tobago who entered the U.S. on a B1/B2 visa with her minor child. She consulted our firm, expressing her fear of returning due to an abusive relationship with her spouse. Through a detailed and thorough consultation, we identified a strong basis for asylum as a family member subjected to domestic abuse. But because she had not originally come to the U.S. to seek asylum, much of the supporting evidence remained in her home country, making the case particularly challenging. We gathered affidavits, photographs, and other evidence to document her history of abuse, carefully organized them to meet asylum requirements, and conducted multiple rounds of interview preparation. Our in-depth legal analysis demonstrated why she and her child met all the eligibility criteria for asylum. Despite the initial lack of evidence and the complexity of the case, she and her child were granted asylee status, with the entire process successfully completed in 6 months.

 

US Citizenship
A client with a felony related to drug trafficking and multiple other criminal charges had previously been denied naturalization while working with another firm. The client then came to us for consultation and to reapply for citizenship. We carefully addressed each criminal charge, demonstrating that none constituted a permanent bar to citizenship. We also gathered multiple affidavits and public records to establish the client’s good moral character. After the naturalization interview, the case was escalated to a supervising immigration services officer to review the charges and determine whether they warranted denial. Through a detailed legal analysis showing why the charges should not prevent approval, the client successfully obtained U.S. citizenship. The entire process was completed in 4 months. 
 


Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Approved
We assisted a minor client nearing their 21st birthday who urgently needed a custody and predicate order from a State Family Court to pursue a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) petition. The client had entered the U.S. without inspection and was in removal proceedings. We successfully paused the removal proceedings to allow sufficient time for the SIJS process. The client’s uncle sought legal custody, and the family court had to make key findings: that it was not in the client’s best interest to return to their home country, and that reunification with one or both parents was not possible due to abandonment, neglect, or abuse. With careful preparation, we secured the necessary custody and predicate orders, and the SIJS petition was approved within 4 months.
​


U-Visa (Law Enforcement Certification) Approved
We assisted a client from Thailand who had suffered severe domestic violence from her U.S. citizen partner in front of her child. As they were not married, she was not eligible for VAWA protections. Instead, we demonstrated that the abuse constituted a crime and explained why her police report was critical in establishing eligibility for law enforcement certification—a key requirement to initiate the U-Visa process. We worked directly with the police department and successfully obtained the law enforcement certification within 4 months, paving the way for the client to apply for U-Visa status and access protection under U.S. immigration law.

Deportation Case Dismissed
A client who escaped their home country and entered the U.S. without inspection was placed into removal proceedings (deportation). The client missed a court hearing and received a removal order years ago. With no other form of relief available to overturn the removal order, we contacted the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) prosecutor and successfully convinced them that the client had strong ties to the U.S. and demonstrated good moral character. We argued that the client should not be a priority for DHS. After negotiations, we reached an agreement to file a joint motion to reopen and terminate the removal proceedings, effectively removing the removal order.
