My Dad became a citizen after years of thinking that he wasn’t able to become a US Citizen. My family is forever grateful for this Angel that came and helped my dad. Thank you so much!!
For over 5 years, I had an attorney who messed up my asylum case and petition for I-130 and I-485 based on marriage..then..I finally met Natalia. She began sending in paperwork on my case on the first day I met with her. She delivered on her promise and am proud to say I am a permanent resident of the USA now. Yes! You heard it right. She got me my green card and had my removal proceedings TERMINATED. I’ll recommend Natalia to anyone at anytime and anywhere within or outside this country.

I cannot thank Wendy Barlow, Esquire of Tucker & Cohen Law Firm in New York for the excellent services that was provided to a very close family member of mine. For years he was afraid to file for his citizenship because of a youthful offender offense that occurred in New York. The fear was due to the advice from an immigration lawyer in Florida after he reviewed the court documents relating to the offense. After being referred to Wendy and her team about 4 months ago and after he review of the offense, she advised him to apply for his citizenship and from the beginning of the process, Wendy was there fir him every step of the way. She took away his fear when she informed him due to her extensive experience and expertise not only in Immigration Law but also the impact of criminal offenses and obtaining citizenship. All the anxiety and fear of traveling for over 30 years was relieved. It was surprising to us that the process went through that quickly. Myself and our entire family are pleased that Wendy was with him yesterday at his immigration interview and the best outcome of all is that he was granted his United States Citizenship after the interview yesterday. This process only took about four months. All the years that family vacations were missed can now be made up. This was only possible due to the expertise, professional, exemplary performance of Wendy Barlow. I would recommend Wendy Barlow and her team for anyone and everyone with immigration issues. She is the absolute best and the fact that she can travel to many states and offer that assistance is remarkable because many immigration lawyers can only practice in one state. Wendy. thanks again for making a positive difference in the lives of our family due to your expert knowledge of immigration law. For those persons that may need help, please do not let fear overcome you, don’t hesitate, call Wendy Barlow at Tucker & Cohen Law Firm in New York no matter what state you reside.
My partner Vlad and I got married about 2 years ago and filed for his adjustment of status a year later…We were welcomed with open arms [by the C&T team] like nothing we’ve ever experienced! Before we made our decision to work with them, we sat with Johnny [C&T’s paralegal] for a short time while he explained the basics of what to expect, and we were very much intrigued by how knowledgeable and patient he was explaining everything to us. [We then] met with Natalia, and we were immediately at ease because of her friendly and warm welcome and personality. Natalia explained the process from start to finish and exactly what to expect…we must say they were extremely genuine in their approach. [When we got the call from C&T that Vlad’s] greencard was approved, [we] were lost for words!!! OMG!!! We started crying with so much tears of joy and excitement like never before!!! I wish we had known about Natalia Morozova before, it would have made a world of difference!! WE JUST WANT TO SAY A HUGE THANK YOU NATALIA AND JOHNNY FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEARTS!!! You have made our dreams a reality and you have no idea the incredible joy and happiness you have given us!!!!
I highly recommend attorney Natalia Morozova. Professional, knowledgeable and most importantly gets the job done right . Easy to reach with any questions via email and phone. No matter how complicated your immigration case might be, you can be sure Natalia will do an excellent job. I am a very happy and satisfied client. The whole firm has wonderful staff. Helpful and friendly. Natalia assisted in resolving my citizenship case with the best outcome. Don’t hesitate to use her services. You will not regret.
There is no standard amount of time that an immigration case should take. Some people are able to reach a resolution to their case in as little as a few weeks, while others may wait years, like those applying for family-based green cards. It all depends on average processing times, the backlog U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and/or the Department of State is facing, whether you’ve paid for premium processing, and your case’s priority level.
The easiest way to establish a realistic timeframe for your case is to visit the USCIS’s website for case processing information and to check the Visa Bulletin for available immigrant visas for green cards in preference categories and diversity lottery selectees. Both resources will provide you with accurate and up-to-date information about availability and processing times by case type.
Your family may be able to enter the U.S. through an expedited process if you’re selected to participate in a family reunification parole program. These programs are invitation only, and the Department of State will contact you to inform you if your green card-seeking family member is chosen for early entry into the United States.
Arrest can lead to deportation in many circumstances. U.S. citizens are almost never deported following an arrest unless that arrest was for a serious crime that jeopardized national security. Green card holders can be deported after being arrested if they are convicted of a qualifying crime. You may be eligible for a waiver depending upon the crime for which you have been convicted and the sentence imposed.
If you were arrested and you are not a U.S. citizen, you may face removal proceedings. This is true even for green card holders. Deportation is almost always the result if you were arrested for entering the United States without documentation.
If you’re a noncitizen facing criminal charges, you should consult an experienced immigration attorney before pleading guilty to a crime. If you’re facing deportation or removal proceedings, your best option is to hire an experienced U.S. immigration law firm to help you reduce the risk of deportation. We may be able to help.
There’s an old expression: The person who represents themselves in court has a fool for a client. Although you’re technically able to represent yourself in immigration court, it’s rarely advisable. Immigration law is complex, and it requires years of education and experience to master. Not only do you need to know the law, but also the procedure.
You’ll need to hire an experienced immigration attorney for your best chance at a favorable outcome in immigration court.
You can start a business in the United States with or without immigrating. You’ll need to complete all of the required paperwork and self-finance your business. You’ll also need a registered agent service in the United States to act as your liaison for your business.
If you decide that you’d like to relocate to the United States during the process of starting your business or after your business has already been established, you may be able to utilize an E visa if you meet the financial requirements or an L-1 visa if you are being transferred from a foreign entity to a U.S. branch, affiliate, subsidiary, or parent.
