Our law firm is experiencing an unprecedented trend! We have been representing clients in U.S. Immigration matters for over 25 years. Recently, we have noticed an unprecedented trend in 2024. Our clients who are eligible for Naturalization/ Citizenship in the United States are getting approved in less than 3 months.
While it's a great time to apply for U.S. Citizenship, it's very important to check off the boxes mentioned here to ensure one's eligibility; and seek out an experienced immigration lawyer to answer complex questions to the USCIS officers in the representation of your N-400 during the interview and application process. To schedule an initial 15 min free citizenship screening with our lawyers, you may contact us at info@vasselllaw.com. We represent clients throughout the United States.

If you or someone you know is a non-citizen of the United States working in OPT F-1 status, as a J-1 au-pair, or is an asylum seeker who may be subject to a hostile or toxic work environment, please know you have rights. Labor laws and Trafficking laws not only protect non citizens, but in some cases reporting intolerable work conditions to the proper authorities may be a path to U.S. Permanent Resident Status.
The United States takes a strong stand against Labor trafficking; and foreign nationals working in the United States may seek protection under the T visa laws. Our immigration lawyers have filed T visas along with Green card applications for many individuals subject to abuse by his or her employer.

The H-1B visa is the most sought-after practical work visa for professionals holding 4-year bachelors’ or advanced degrees seeking work with a U.S. employer.

Employment Based work visas can be volatile; and taking charge of one’s visa status is more important than ever in this economy.  If you hold an H-1B visa, approved I-140 petition by a U.S. employer and/or have a pending Employment Based Green Card; it is important to understand how the actions of your company can make or break your U.S. status and immigration goals.

The B-1 and B-2 visa has mistakenly been limited and labeled as the ‘Tourist visa’. However, it is better referred to as the Visitor visa, which extends way beyond the purpose of touring the United States.  Rather, the purpose for which a Foreign National can visit the United States or change visa status to a Visitor in the U.S. is vast. 

Applying to adjust one’s status in the United States to a Permanent Resident is an exciting experience. The question often arises, “Should I still keep my non-immigrant visa current since I have my employment authorization (EAD), and I’ll soon be a Permanent Resident”?   The answer is yes!
