Important Things You Should Know
Common US Immigration FAQs
How long does it take to get a family-based Green Card in California?
Processing timelines depend on your relationship to the sponsor and current USCIS backlogs at the local field office, such as the Los Angeles or San Bernardino locations. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens generally see faster processing (typically 10 to 14 months), while preference categories can face wait times spanning several years.
What can I do if my USCIS case is unreasonably delayed?
If your Green Card, citizenship, or visa application is stuck in processing limbo for months or years, our Pasadena immigration attorneys can help. We start by submitting formal inquiries and escalating the issue. If the government still fails to act, we can file a Writ of Mandamus in federal court to legally force USCIS to make a decision on your case.
What are the requirements for an employment-based visa (H-1B, L-1, O-1)?
Employment visas require sponsorship from a U.S. employer and proof that you meet specific professional criteria. For example, the H-1B requires a specialized bachelor’s degree, the L-1 is for intracompany transfers, and the O-1 requires demonstration of extraordinary ability in your field. We help both employers and foreign nationals navigate these complex requirements to secure the right classification.
Can I apply for asylum if I am already inside the United States?
Yes. You can apply for affirmative asylum if you are physically present in the U.S., regardless of your current immigration status or how you arrived. However, you generally must file your application within one year of your arrival. If you are already in removal proceedings, our attorneys can help you apply for defensive asylum in immigration court.
How can a lawyer help stop deportation or removal proceedings?
If you receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, you must act immediately. Our deportation defense team can intervene by filing motions to terminate the proceedings, seeking cancellation of removal, applying for asylum, or adjusting your status.
