Other Immigration Avenues

Immigration may look like only one section of law but the different facets within it are plentiful and intricate. While family-based and employment-based immigration may be the largest subsections, our firm is also able to expertly guide clients through the following avenues:

  • Student Visas: F-1 and M-1
  • Visitor Visas: B-1 and B-2
  • Exchange Visas: J-1
  • Asylum, Refugee, and Deferred Action Petitions

As you’ll see, we’ve added some helpful guides under the “Must Read” section that will help introduce you to a couple of these avenues before you dive deeper into the category.

Process and Regulations

Along with the different routes for immigration, in the “Must Read” section you’ll find important articles about processes and regulations that are important to understand. Priority dates, medical exams, and forms may seem inconsequential, but without the knowledge in these articles and the help of experienced attorneys, it can be the difference between approval and denial.

Start off with these posts and make sure to follow up with a consultation with our legal attorneys to help with your specific issue.
