My experience with the Lawit law firm was very positive. Mr. Lawit discovered the fact that my grandfather who was a US citizen passed citizenship to my mother. Through my mother I was able to complete my immigration after 12 years. No other attorney I had spoken to was able to solve my immigration issues.

There are many reasons why people may wish to make short-term visits to the United States. Following the correct steps in these situations and abiding by all applicable immigration laws will help visitors, temporary workers, or others avoid complications that may affect their ability to stay in the country or return to the U.S. in the future.

Immigrants who wish to live in the United States permanently will need to take a number of steps, including receiving sponsorship from a person in the U.S., applying for an immigrant visa, and providing documentation showing that they have met all requirements under the applicable immigration laws. Our attorneys can assist with visa applications, and we also help with adjustment of status and pursuing citizenship through naturalization.
Sponsorship from family members in the United States is one of the most common avenues for immigration. The visas available in these cases will depend on whether the sponsor is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and their relationship with the immigrant(s) who will be coming to the U.S.

These may include asking the Board of Immigration Appeals to review decisions made by immigration judges or requesting that the Administrative Appeals Office reconsider the denial of an application for a visa or green card.
