  •  The process of becoming a U.S. citizen should be undertaken correctly and within the bounds of the rule of law.  For those permanent residents who wish to apply for U.S. citizenship, the process of naturalization is much smoother with a competent Long Island immigration lawyer by your side.  The process of naturalization is lengthy and ever-changing due to the current atmosphere regarding immigration and terrorism.  Obtaining permanent residence is also a job for your immigration attorney.  Foreign nationals can often obtain the permanent right to live in the U.S. through appropriate sponsorship by their employer or family.  A seasoned Long Island immigration lawyer understands and can easily navigate the process.
  •  Obtaining asylum.  For decades, the U.S. has become a welcoming sanctuary for the globe’s citizens who flee their homeland to escape persecution.  The proper application of an application for asylum will bare more credence before an immigration judge or asylum officer if it is properly prepared by your Long Island immigration lawyer.
  • Working in the U.S. and obtaining a work-related visa.  Students, applicants for asylum, and those with other legal statuses can obtain a visa that allows them to seek employment in the U.S.
  • File a widow’s petition.  When a sponsoring family member passes away, new changes to the U.S. immigration law will allow their widows to obtain a green card.
