Immigration lawyer in New York

These are the first steps for anyone looking for immigration help in New York. The full plan with the document checklist and a 30-day timeline opens after sign up.

  1. Step 1. Identify your case type

    Immigration cases differ a lot. A family petition, a work visa, asylum, a green card through adjustment of status, naturalization and defense in immigration court each follow their own forms and deadlines. Write down your current status, the date you entered the country and any deadlines on your papers before you talk to anyone.

  2. Step 2. Check the attorney licence with the state bar

    Every attorney in the US is admitted by the bar of at least one state. Search the attorney by name on the official lookup of the state bar or the state court system and confirm the licence is active and free of public discipline. Immigration law is federal, so an attorney licensed in any state can handle your federal case.

  3. Step 3. Gather your documents

    • Passport and any previous passports
    • Visa and your I-94 arrival record
    • Every notice you received from USCIS, including receipt notices
    • Copies of past applications and any court papers
    • Marriage, birth and education certificates with translations

  4. Step 4. Watch out for notario fraud

    In the US a notary public is not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice or file your case for you. Only a licensed attorney or an accredited representative of a recognized organization may represent you. Never sign blank forms and never pay someone who promises a guaranteed result.

  5. Step 5. Use the official sources

    Forms, fees and case status are published on the USCIS website uscis.gov. Hearings in immigration court are handled by the Executive Office for Immigration Review on justice.gov/eoir. Fees change, so check the current amounts on the official site before you file.
