    Family and Nonimmigrant Visa Petitions

    Two common types of immigration matters our firm handles are family-based visas and nonimmigrant visas. United States citizens (USC) or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) who are 21 years or older can petition for foreign family members to legally come to the United States. Citizens can apply for an Immediate Relative Visa for close family members, or citizens and LPRs can apply for Family Preference Visas for specific, more distant family members.

    Visas are also offered to individuals looking to work for a period of time in the US, and there are over 20 categories of nonimmigrant visas available to foreign nationals. These include the Student F-1 Visa, the employment-based H-1B Visa, and the K-1 Fiancé Visa. We also assist individuals on matters related to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA). In any case, Essien Law Firm can help you determine which visa is most suitable for your immigration needs and how to build a strong application.
