Boston Immigration Lawyer

Hire a lawyer as early as possible in your immigration journey: before filing any paperwork, responding to government notices, or attending immigration interviews. This will ensure accurate completion and submission, using the right addresses, and keeping deadlines, reducing the risk of denials and delays. 

A Boston immigration attorney can help you with various services such as deportation defense, Green Card applications, family and employment-based visas, asylum claims, naturalization, and waivers.

Our Boston team at Spar & Bernstein will:

• Review and analyze your situation
• Identify the legal path that best fits your case
• Handle all documentation
• Represent you in court or at interviews
• Prepare you for every step of the process

While you’re not required to work with an attorney, an experienced attorney can guide you through the complex immigration labyrinth and help avoid costly mistakes and delays.

Bring any immigration documents you have: your passport, visa, notices, prior applications, or court paperwork. This will ensure your lawyer knows the specifics and builds the best possible strategy.

Timelines vary depending on the immigration services you’re using. Some cases are resolved in months while others take years. We’ll explain what to expect and provide regular updates on your case.

Yes, our legal team defends clients in removal proceedings at the Boston Immigration Court. We build strong cases for asylum, cancellation of removal, waivers, and other relief. Share your story and we’ll look for the best options to protect your rights.

You cannot apply for citizenship directly from a work visa. You can do that if you get a Green Card through employment and meet the residency and eligibility requirements.

Overstaying a visa can lead to serious immigration consequences, including deportation. Contact a Boston immigration lawyer immediately so that they review your situation and explore options like change of status, adjustment, or reinstatement.

Adjustment of status is the process of changing from a temporary (nonimmigrant) visa status to permanent resident status (Green Card) without leaving the U.S. If you’re living in Boston on a valid visa and meet eligibility requirements, you may apply for a Green Card by filing Form I-485 through the USCIS Boston Field Office. Contact our team and we’ll help you with the process and required documents.
