About My Immigration Firm
I am a practicing immigration lawyer for more than 40 years and every case is handled personally by me. After many years of working in all areas of immigration law defense I now focus on family-related immigration cases, family sponsorship and marriage cases, appeals and citizenship matters. I am happy to talk to anyone about their immigration case and give some general guidance over phone or e-mail and then meet at needed. Many people now come in for consultations in my office to review paperwork and get a sense whether they need a lawyer or not to pursue their cases, with continued guidance from me.
I offer telephone consults for free and then meetings for a consultation fee in my office in Brookline, MA.
I speak some Spanish as well, but friends or family members are welcome to come in and assist as needed for interpreting.

8/24: Biden announced regulations to begin processing "Parole in Place" to allow, on a case by case basis, spouses and step-children of US citizens to obtain adjustment of status even if they entered illegally to the US. Must be continuously residing in US since June, 17, 2014 and must have married before this same date. Also applies to persons in removal proceedings or with unexecuted removal orders. See new Form I-131F and instructions to apply for this new program and a work permit.
8/24: Delays continue for all family related cases with waiting times at embassies growing to many months in most cases after completion at the National Visa Center. USCIS has automatically extended work permits for 540 days in light of their great delays in deciding adjustment and many other types of cases.
5/24: USCIS now has a parole program in place for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Columbia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Ecuador. This allows beneficiaries of approved family petitions to enter the US under parole awaiting their visa waiting lists, with work permission as well.
4/24: USCIS now will grant a 2-year automatic extension for pending Form I-90 applications to replace or renew a permanent resident card.
