The United States is a nation of immigrants.
Whether one considers it a "melting pot" of cultures blended together in
an ever-changing stew or a mosaic of unique identities that form an
evolving portrait, America is
continually enriched by new arrivals to its shores.
Of course,
getting there is not always easy.
Most UK citizens can travel freely
under the Visa Waiver Program for brief visits, but not all; for
extended visits, business ventures, job postings, and permanent
resettlement, you need the proper visa--and that means a visit to the US Embassy in London or the Consulate in Belfast.
And, if you happen to be among
those whom the US government considers "inadmissible," you are going to
need a waiver, too.
I can help.
Legal
services to meet your US immigration needs
I have been practicing US immigration law for more than 15
years--as an advocate and as a USCIS and INS officer (on both sides of
the Atlantic--including assignments to headquarters in Washington DC and, most recently, at the US Embassy in London). I understand the personal element of immigration, which
is not limited to family matters, but includes large and small
businesses, investors, and anyone who has to seek permission to enter
the United States. As a solo practitioner, I deliver personalized
service to meet your individual needs.
Whether you are
seeking to bring family or business to the United States, I can advise
you on options and processes, and assist with immigration petitioning
and visa applications. If you have been denied opportunities in the
past, I can review your situation and, where applicable and warranted,
assist with any appeals or other applications.
Brighton and
Beyond As a Brighton-based practice, I am pleased to be accessible to
people in Sussex and the south, but I am equally accommodating to those
further afield--London is less than an hour away by train and my office is two blocks from the station (or I can arrange to meet you there)--and, if you are coming down from York, Manchester, Edinburgh, or beyond, I can offer out-of-hours consultations. And, for those of you outside the UK, I am readily accessible by phone via Skype or Jajah (toll free from the US).
I invite you to review the articles listed in the
column on the left. If you have any questions, comments, or would like
to arrange a consultation, please email us at info@us-visa.co.uk.
