Immigration attorneys represent non-citizens who want to live, work or visit the United States. These lawyers can also help undocumented immigrants found living in the U.S. without permission gain authorized immigration status. Immigration laws, which are very complex, govern who can enter the U.S., how long they can stay, what they can do while they are here, and how they can become American citizens. If you or a loved one has immigration issues, an immigration lawyer may be able to help.

She’s the best

My immigration journey with mrs. Ice was a smooth, easy and fast. She knows her job but above all, my family and Mrs Ice created a beautiful friendship. I just got my citizenship about 6 days ago and she was the cost of the fast path. I really appreciate her and you will as well.

Residency

I met Patricia while I was at work and had previously heard about her from a friend that she helped get her residency. While she was just there to get what she needed I asked her if she had time to speak to me about my husbands case, and give me a little advice. She took the time to listen and put me... on the right track in order to start the process. From the first day that I met her to the day that we hired her to now that my husband has renewed his residency for his 10 year visa, she has been great to work with. I believe Patricia was godsend! She has the experience she knows all there is to know about helping with your immigration questions/concerns. She goes above and beyond with all that she does. She asked for letters, photos, and any/everything that we would need to make sure that when we got to the immigration office for our interview that everything would be perfect. She even takes the time to sit with you and mock interview you as if you were at the interview for immigration. I was nervous and anxious when we first started this whole process but when being consulted by her she was a breathe of fresh air. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable, understanding, and most of all experienced. I have hired her twice. The first time was to start the process and we got his 2 year residency and the second time around she also helped us get his 10 year residency. We will be hiring her again to help us out with filing for his citizenship very soon! I recommend that anyone that is/having problems or just need to consult with a attorney to call Patricia Ice. She will be the best decision you ever make. I am so appreciative of her time, commitment, etc....

A tireless advocate.

Patricia Ice has been my steadfast and diligent immigration attorney since 2003. Then, a broke international undergraduate, Ms. Ice provided indispensable guidance and counsel. In addition to her invaluable legal advice, she worked closely with me as I prepared my USCIS application for work autho...rization. Her pro bono assistance afforded me my first employment opportunity in the US. Attorney Ice insisted on meeting with me and my fiance before our marriage. She advised us on the legal, personal, and financial challenges ahead and thoroughly prepared us for the permanent resident application process. Mrs. Ice accompanied us to our green card interview and her presence was an immense comfort. She was instrumental in navigating thorny questions about our tax returns and finances. Fast forward to 2018: I finally received my permanent residency, an impossible feat without her tremendous expertise. My case was particularly fraught because of a misdemeanor on my record. My residency application was initially denied and we had to submit an I-601 application for waiver of inadmissibility. The ordeal surrounding the resolution of my misdemeanor and waiver application is almost indescribable. Suffice it to say, Attorney Ice was as compassionate and understanding as she was relentless in advocating for my freedom and future. If you are in need of a tireless and caring immigration attorney, I cannot recommend her enough. Best regards, og
