ATTORNEY EIFFE IS A PARTNER AT A.G. LINETT & ASSOCIATES, PA AN EXPERIENCED IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY, BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY.

Attorney Alexander J. Eiffe is head of the Immigration Law Practice Group at A.G. Linett & Associates. Alexander has been almost exclusively practicing immigration law in North Carolina since 2012 and has been a licensed attorney since 2010. Alexander is licensed to practice law in states of North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey as well as the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the Middle District of North Carolina, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Alexander was adopted from Bogota, Colombia and grew up in the triad area of North Carolina. He now lives in Greensboro with his wife Aziza, their son, and their two dogs Midas (Boxer/Pitt Bull mix) and Roxana (Labrador/Great Dane mix). Alexander attended UNC Chapel Hill where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and he earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Villanova School of Law. He remains involved in his community through various professional organizations and he has spoken: on the radio, to student & parent groups, at community events and to local officials/agencies about various immigration topics. If you or an organization you are involved with would be interested in attorney Eiffe discussing or presenting on an immigration topic to your group, please contact our office.

Attorney Eiffe’s practice spans all areas of immigration law including family based immigration, employment based immigration, and removal defense. He is an experienced attorney who has personally handled cases for citizen/nationals of over 50 different countries. Alexander is a firm believer that clients and potential clients deserve a true and non-sugar-coated assessment of their cases. In the current political climate and in the midst of ongoing and very public debate about immigration, people absolutely need to talk to an attorney to discuss their options.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), have ramped up activity in the Carolinas and around the U.S. in recent months and practicing immigration law before the immigration court or before USCIS (“U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services”) has seen fundamental shifts in the past few years. Our office does not expect the constant shifting of the legal landscape to slow down or stop anytime soon. Attorney Alexander J.

I have received my Greencard after long and stressful process
I am happy to get my Greencard in my hand after the long process. Alex was so professional, patient, and responsive to us from beginning until the end in my case. His legal guidance was so effective and helpful. He made very clear path to response to the RFE and made the case more easier. I definitely recommend to hire him.

I am extremely happy with the results of my case. I hired this attorney for my naturalization to become a citizen. The attorney answered any questions and concerns I had and the process was overall very simple and straightforward. I highly recommend this attorney for any immigration case you may have, he’s very knowledgeable about immigration law and can most likely answer any question you have about it.

The Best Immigrant Lawyer!
I highly recommend Alex J. Eiffe to work with you when it comes to your Immigration process. We started applying to immigrate to the US from Kenya back in August 2018. I honestly didn’t know that hiring a lawyer would greatly help and speed up the process. Alex was recommended by my husbands’ employer and we got our paperwork ready which included getting original copies, official paper work filled up and a continuous process of sending documents from Kenya to the US. Alex advised, prepared documents the way it was needed for us to eventually have a green light that we were ready for an interview with the US Embassy in Nairobi. In October 2019, we eventually had our interviews which went very well and we got our visas. I owe the process going well to Alex. I also would like to stress that being honest in the application process counts a lot. We provided legit documents, legit dates and any other documents needs to file for the petition. We landed in the US in October 2019, got our green cards after a few months and eventually received our Social Security Numbers. IF you’re looking forward to immigrate to the US from Kenya, I highly recommend contacting Alex and let home take you through the legal process of petitioning for your spouse. He is very knowledgeable, professional at the same time has very friendly personality. Thank you so much Alex and your team for a job well done!

Виза B1/B2
Я обратилась к Александру за помощью с получением туристической визы в США. Александр очень внимательно и досконально рассмотрел мой случай, и детально объяснил предназначение туристической визы, а так же разницу между самой визой и формой I-94. Александр подготовил перечень документов, которые в моем случае могли выступить доказательством моих намерений вернуться на родину раньше отведённого срока и подготовил к вопросам, которые могут задать на интервью. Он помог мне максимально подготовиться к моему интервью. Я была уверена во время своего интервью, так как каждый ответ я могла доказать соответствующим документом. В итоге мое интервью прошло очень гладко и я получила туристическую визу. Очень рекомендую этого адвоката, он знающий, опытный, внимателен к деталям, и очень ответственно относится ко всему. Я обязательно обращусь к нему ещё в будущем.

Ya soy Residente Permanente Legal
Yo tuve un caso difícil. Mis abogados precios en New York fueron incapaces de ayudarme. Ya casi había desistido de seguir, con la ayuda de mi esposo y con la excelente asistencia profesional del abogado Alexander y su equipo de trabajo, ahora ya soy residente permanente legal. En ningún momento me sentí sola y siempre estuvieron conmigo para contestar mis preguntas.
