Harsh penalties like the 3/10 year bar to admissibility  created by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRA/IRA) of 1996,  is but one example of penalties  we remedy for you, though waivers (Read more).

OUR TIES TO THE LEGAL AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY

We dedicate our Firm to continuing legal education (CLE) in all forms,  by  solidifying productive  alliances with the legal community (www.linkedIn.com).

Since 1995, we are strongly linked with the American Immigration Lawyers Association (www.aila.org), participating in CLE classes as participant, as mentor, faculty , as contributor of legal articles and as pro bono lawyer for its legal clinics like the AILA Citizenship Day. We form a network with AILA lawyers from across the country and abroad for practice advisories, information, referrals, and other mechanisms for sound practice. Through AILA, we have a liaison  to reach  USCIS immigration service centers , the USCIS Ombudsman’s office (www.dhs.gov), and other agencies for special handling cases. We also have a forum for pro bono work, and for advocacy to change laws through AILA, it’s chapters and other arms like the AILA immigration Council.
