David Kaplan

Family Based Immigration ​

The Law Offices of David Kaplan represents U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (Green card holders) to help them bring their spouses or fiancees to the U.S. We also help our clients bring their family members (non-spouse). Call us and we will help you find out if you qualify.

​If your spouse or family member is outside of the U.S., the process is slightly different and we will help to guide you through that as well. Your spouse will need to go to the U.S. embassy in their home country to complete the process, which is known as consular processing. We will fill out all of the necessary paperwork, and we well prepare you for the consular interview at the embassy.

​While our immigration law firm is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we can assist you all over the United States and all over the world.

Naturalization
​
This is perhaps the most rewarding thing that we do: we help people become U.S. citizens!

We will help you prepare and file your naturalization application.

Following the application, you will have to attend an interview with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We prepare you for this interview so that you are familiar with the process and we will attend the interview with you.

Sometimes people are anxious about applying for naturalization, fearing that they lack sufficient knowledge of English or history to pass the test. We hope to dissuade those fears as you work with us. It’s important for you to know that not only is the test relatively easy, but in some cases, applicants do not even have to take a test or take it in their native language.

Federal and Administrative Review

When the Board of Immigration Appeals denies your case in error, or when your case is taking an usually long time to be decided, we can file a case in federal court to compel the government to act in your case.​

We have extensive experience in Appeals to the BIA, Petitions for Review before the Federal Courts of Appeals and and filing Writ of Mandamus and Habeas Corpus requests for relief before the Federal Circuit Courts around the United States.

​These cases are complex and require a detailed review of the facts and the law to evaluate the likelihood of success. We have extensive knowledge and more than 25 years of experience evaluating cases and formulating winning strategies for our clients. Best of all, we will give you a straightforward and honest opinion on our first meeting. If there is something to do to resolve your case, we will
