Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help if I am undocumented or out of status?
Yes. Many people come to us after living in the United States for years without status or after a visa has expired. We review your history, any prior entries or applications, and your family situation to see whether options like family petitions, waivers, or other forms of relief may be available.
How long does the residency or citizenship process take in Virginia?
Processing times vary depending on the case type, visa category, and current USCIS workload.Processing times vary depending on the case type, visa category, and current USCIS workload. A family-based green card, for example, can take anywhere from 12 to 36 months depending on the sponsor's status and their relationship to the applicant.
Can you help if I was denied a visa or told I am inadmissible?
If you have been denied a visa, faced an issue at a consulate, or been told you are inadmissible, we can review the decision and see whether a waiver or another strategy might be possible. These cases can be complex, so it is important to look carefully at the reasons for the denial before deciding on next steps.
What should I bring to my first consultation with the immigration attorney?
It is helpful to bring any immigration documents you have (such as notices from USCIS, prior applications, passports, visas, and court papers), as well as key dates like entries to the United States or prior filings. If you do not have everything organized, that is okay — we can start with what you have and work together to gather the rest.
Can you help with DACA renewals or initial applications?
Yes. We assist both first-time DACA applicants and those seeking renewals. If you are unsure whether you qualify or what documents you need, we can review your situation during a consultation.
