Free Immigration Consultation Online

Attitudes and laws around U.S. immigration have vacillated between welcoming and restrictive since the country's beginning. In this video, Immigration Lawyer Carl Shusterman , a former INS Attorney (1976-82) whose lawyers have assisted thousands of persons across the US in obtaining temporary visas, permanent residence and US citizenship for over 30 years, explains what you should look for in choosing an immigration attorney to represent you.

United States law permits a person to have multiple citizenship Citizens of other countries who are naturalized as United States citizens may retain their citizenship in their native country, but they must renounce allegiance, or loyalty, to the other country.

Distant relatives include married or unmarried adult children, who are given the highest priority, followed by sisters and brothers of an adult citizen who is over the age of 21, and then minor or adult spouses and unmarried children of legal permanent residents.

I also enjoy spending the time speaking with clients to understand their ultimate goals and purposes in applying for a US visa, green card, or citizenship, and working on their cases, whether it's researching the best strategy to use, or advocating on their behalf by drafting clear, elegant arguments based on law and agency guidance.

Once granted American citizenship, foreign-born persons are granted the right to vote, the right to government jobs, the right to apply for resident immigration laws in the us status for VI family members and the freedom to travel with an American passport which provides entry without a visa into many countries.
