Immigration Attorneys · Richmond, VA · All 50 States

We recommend everyone undergoing immigration processes consider hiring a lawyer, particularly those with complex issues such as past visa denials or criminal history, and first-time applicants. Legal representation becomes especially valuable when complications arise or when you face removal proceedings.

Bring documents related to your immigration situation including passports, visas, I-94 records, Notices to Appear (NTAs), documents from ICE, notices from USCIS, and vital records. If applicable, also bring marriage certificates, birth certificates, criminal records, or employment documents. If you had prior representation, you will need a file release from your previous attorney.

Processing duration varies depending on the type of application or petition, your individual circumstances, and current USCIS processing times. Some cases take months while others require years. We encourage checking uscis.gov for current processing timelines and want you to know that delays outside our control do occur.
