FAQs
We are very happy to receive any query from you!
What types of cases do Queens immigration attorneys handle?
Queens attorneys handle asylum, family petitions, VAWA, TPS, green card renewals, deportation defense, and naturalization cases.
Is it hard to sponsor a work visa in the U.S.?
It depends on the visa type. H-1Bs are competitive due to the cap. O-1s are paperwork-heavy but not capped. A good attorney will simplify and guide the process for the employer and employee.
Is it worth using an immigration attorney?
Yes. Immigration law is complex. An attorney checks that your paperwork is correct, and your rights are protected, especially during enforcement surges. They also help you meet critical deadlines and avoid unintentional missteps that can delay or derail your case. In high-risk situations, having a legal advocate can mean the difference between staying in the U.S. and facing removal.
Can I call immigration to ask about my case?
Yes. Call USCIS or use your myUSCIS account. Be ready with your receipt number.
How do I speak to a live person at USCIS?
Call the USCIS Contact Center and say “live representative.” Be patient, it may take multiple prompts to reach a person. Try calling early in the day for faster results. You can also use Emma, USCIS’s online chat assistant.
Can I file I-130 without an attorney?
Yes, you can. However, filing Form I-130 improperly can lead to delays or denials. An attorney helps check that your supporting evidence is correct and complete. If you’re also planning to naturalize later, starting with a strong I-130 matters.
What is the difference between naturalization and citizenship?
Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen if you weren’t born in the U.S. Citizenship includes all who are born or naturalized in the U.S. Both enjoy equal legal rights.
