The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Services) is the government agency responsible for processing non-immigrant and immigrant applications/petitions filed by Foreign Nationals seeking valid status for entry into the United States. USCIS falls under the jurisdiction of U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Depending on the particular immigration process, the U.S. Department of Labor or U.S. Department of State may also be involved with adjudication.
Visa petitions can be based on employment or familial relationships and fall into non-immigrant or immigrant classifications. For some non-immigrant classifications, immigrant intent is permitted. For many of our clients, obtaining a non-immigrant visa is a stepping stone towards more ambitious immigration goals.
Our legal team has extensive experience assisting Foreign Nationals with the processing of employment and family based visa applications. Providing excellent customer service is tantamount to our business philosophy. We place forging strong relationships with our clients above all other business objectives.
