Virtual Consultation Available
I help people resolve their immigration issues. My cases range from family petitions (adjustment of status for immigrants in the US, and applications for family members in other countries) to labor cases, artist visas, and immigration court practice (bond, cancellation of removal, asylum, and withholding to name just a few areas). If you need someone to guide you through the immigration maze, please call! for service in English, Spanish, Italian & French or for service in Portuguese.
