Employment Visas
Whether you are seeking temporary or permanent employment, you will need a visa in order to come to this nation to work. Depending on the work you seek, your credentials, and whether or not a petition has been filed by a company in the U.S., you could have a more or less difficult time obtaining a visa.

Family-Based Immigration
One of the top immigrant priorities in the United States Government is reuniting families.

Criminal Consequences
If you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States then it is important for you to know that there are various actions that could result in removal proceedings or deportation for you. Some of these include various criminal actions.

Non-Immigrant Visas
A non-immigrant visa is a temporary visa sought by those who wish to come to the U.S. for a short period of time in order to conduct business, attend school, or invest in a company or for other reasons. In order to obtain this, you will benefit from providing clear documentation of your intent to return to your country of origin.

Stateside Waiver Processing
Typically processing time for a visa or for anyone pursuing citizenship to the U.S. can be extremely long and difficult. With stateside waiver processing, there is a chance you can significantly reduce that time spent away from home and loved ones, as long as you meet certain requirements. Contact a Columbus immigration attorney at our firm to learn more.

Whatever immigration issues you are facing, our firm can assist you with answers and discussion regarding your case. If you are seeking permanent residency, temporary visa, or asylum, seek our legal assistance in your case.

Types of Visas
There are essentially two different kinds of visas, immigrant and non-immigrant visas. If you are seeking permanent residency then you will benefit from an immigrant visa, if you are seeking a short-term trip to the U.S. then you need a non-immigrant visa.

Visas for Professionals
If you are a professional seeking entry into the U.S. then there are various visas that you will want to be aware of and consider before deciding on one. Some visas will benefit you more for the type of business you wish to conduct, and others are easier to obtain but expire quicker.

Waivers of Inadmissibility
These waivers are a potential option for immigrants that may be forced to leave the U.S. for reasons such as criminal history, health issues, fraud, smuggling or other activities. Allowing a knowledgeable attorney to look closely at your case before you simply accept deportation could help keep you in the U.S.
