Our law firm advises and represents clients who need assistance with family visas for spouses, parents, children, and other relatives. We can show you how waiting lists or entry quotas can affect your interest in reuniting your family in the U.S. and then look for alternative ways to obtain the right visa.

The particular visa you need depends on the family relationship and what would be the best opinion for bringing your loved one here. If you are engaged, we can discuss options for a K-1 visa for your fiancé or other strategies to help your loved one enter the U.S., such as a marriage in your home country.

We also advise families whose entry goals are complicated by an adverse immigration action in the past — denial of entry based on criminal history, previous immigration violations such as visa overstays, fraud or public charge issues. In some cases, we can achieve your objectives through a motion to reopen or by the appeal of a recent unfavorable action.

New York immigration attorney Cheryl David enjoys a national reputation for her outstanding client service on difficult entry and removal issues. She currently serves on the national board of governors of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and she also serves as national chair and the local chapter's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Committee.

Our law firm also helps clients who run into problems with their family visas. If a family member is arrested on a criminal charge or detained by the ICE, we can intervene quickly to protect your rights and your loved one's ability to stay in the U.S.
