Immigration visas, green cards, naturalization, and citizenship. Call for results.
What We Do
Family, Spouse, and Fiancé Visas
We bring families together by helping U.S. Citizens to get legal permanent residency (Green Cards) for their foreign spouses, parents, and family members. We help U.S. Citizens to bring their fiancé / fiancée to the United States to get on the path to sharing their lives as citizens together. We can help you get immigration visas in Minneapolis and get help dealing with United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs & Border Protection (CBP).
Naturalization
We work with legal permanent residents to navigate the sometimes labyrinthine process of becoming citizens of the United States of America. Most legal permanent residents qualify to become citizens after getting immigration visas, qualifying for green cards, and being in LPR status for five years. But the rules are different for Green Card holders who got LPR status through marriage or asylum. Come in for a consultation at our offices in Minneapolis to find out if you qualify to apply for citizenship today.
Business and Work Visas
We advise U.S. companies, and foreign workers and investors to determine the right fit for the right worker. We consult with U.S. companies on compliance with the I-9 process.
We work with foreign nationals in "E" visa status to engage in activities as treaty traders, treaty investors, or as employees of a qualifying E visa entity.
We help U.S. companies to navigate the Department of Labor and immigration for "H" visas like the H-1B, H-2B, and H-3 visas. We help foreign nationals to visit the United States as exchange visitors in J-1 status. We help companies make intracompany transfers between foreign and domestic subsidiaries with the L-1 visa.
And we help foreign nationals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, athletics, or the arts to work temporarily in the U.S. with the "O" visa.
We consult with foreign nationals and U.S. based businesses to find visa status that may eventually result in green cards and citizenship.
Asylum
We help immigrants and refugees who cannot return to their home country because of a "well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion" to avail themselves of the asylum process, whether through an affirmative or defensive petition, assisting in the journey from immigration to green cards, and eventually citizenship. Set up a consultation today at our offices in Minneapolis to find out more about important changes in the asylum process.
Personal Bankruptcy
We help consumer debtors successfully navigate through Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy protection.
Family Law
We help clients with divorce/dissolution, adoption, and child support and custody matters.
