The Process

  • It all starts with one conversation. We’ll review any paperwork you have, discuss your background, and start exploring what legal options are available to you.

Step 01


  • After reviewing your situation, I'll clearly explain:

    What relief or protections you may qualify for (asylum, U visa, family petition, cancellation of removal, etc.)

    Any potential risks

    What immediate steps we can take to protect you

    You'll leave our meeting with clarity, not confusion.

Step 02


  • Together, we'll build a step-by-step plan that fits your life.

    I'll explain timelines, legal fees, and expected outcomes

    —so you know exactly what to expect.

    This is your roadmap to stability, built just for you.

Step 03


  • Whether it’s a visa petition, work permit, green card application, or court defense—we handle all filings carefully and on time. My team ensures every document is accurate, complete, and fully supported with the right evidence.

    🛡️ We’ll do the legal heavy lifting—so you don’t have to.

Step 04


  • Many clients qualify for a work permit while their case is pending. If that’s an option for you, we’ll apply as soon as possible—so you can begin working legally and supporting yourself and your family.

Step 05


  • Depending on your case, this might be:

    • A green card (permanent residency)

    • Temporary protected status (TPS)

    • Deferred action or another form of legal presence

    This is your foundation for safety and opportunity in the U.S.

Step 06


  • After you’ve held legal permanent residency for the required time (usually 3–5 years), we’ll guide you through the naturalization process. From the application to the interview and the oath ceremony—you won’t go through it alone.

Step 07


You Don’t Have to Have All the Answers—Just Take the First Step

If you’ve been living in the shadows, it’s time to come into the light.
