Practice Areas
Four Corners Immigration Law is a full service immigration law firm with practice areas ranging from family based immigration and employment visas to removal defense. No matter what stage you are at in your case, we can help.
If you receive a denial of your application for an immigration benefit, you can file an appeal, motion to reopen, or motion to reconsider depending on your case.
If you are fearful of being harmed in your home country, you may be able to ask for protection under asylum laws. You do this by filing an application called an I-589. Where you file will depend on whether you are currently in removal proceedings.
If you have been a lawful permanent resident for five, or in some cases three, years, you may be eligible to apply for citizenship in the U.S. An experienced attorney can help you determine if you meet all of the legal requirements.
If you want to start a business or invest in an existing business in the United States, you and your employees may be eligible to receive a “E” visa to operate your business in the United States. This is only available to foreign nationals from countries that have commercial treaties with the United States conferring eligibility.
This category is for individuals who are applying for legal permanent resident status (a “green card”). You may qualify if you can show you are a Person of Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professor and Researcher, or a Multinational Executive or Manager. Using this category, you can apply for permanent residency without a labor certification, which can save significant time compared to other immigrant petition categories.
These categories are for skilled workers, professionals, and individuals holding advanced degrees or foreign nationals of exceptional ability. In most cases, the foreign national must have a job offer and the employer will need to go through the labor certification process with the guidance of an experienced immigration attorney.
If you have certain U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members, you may be able to apply for a green card through that family member. The process will depend on many factors including how you entered the U.S., your immigration history, and how you are related to the family member with status.
If you have a fiance(e) who resides abroad, your fiance(e) might be able to come to the U.S. on what is known as a Fiance(e) visa. Once someone enters the U.S. on a fiance(e) visa, you have 90 days to get married. After your marriage, your spouse can immediately apply for a green card.
You may qualify under this category if you have at least a bachelor’s degree (or the equivalent in work experience) and are seeking to enter or continue on in a position requiring that degree. Four Corners specializes in complex H-1B issues, including difficult “specialty occupation” issues and third party worksite issues.
You may qualify under this category if coming to the U.S. through an approved exchange program as a student, scholar, job trainee, faculty member, professor or research scholar, specialist, medical resident, or government visitor.
This category allows qualified employers to transfer an executive, manager, or professional worker with specialized knowledge from an affiliated foreign office to one of its company or offices based in the United States.
You may qualify under this category if you have demonstrable extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, athletics, education, or business.
This category is for religious workers with a sponsoring employer who is authorized to conduct religious worship and perform other duties usually performed by authorized members of the clergy of that religion, and other workers engaging in a religious vocation or occupation.
If you are in immigration proceedings, it means that an Immigration Judge is deciding whether you should be allowed to remain in the U.S. An experienced attorney can help you identify your defenses and fight for your rights in Immigration Court.
If you have a two-year green card, you need to file for your 10-year card before your current card expires. You can file this petition jointly with your spouse or request a waiver of the joint filing requirement if you are not able to file the petition jointly.
This category allows certain Canadian and Mexican professionals to work in the United States in a specific business activity for a U.S. or foreign employer pursuant to NAFTA. If you are from Mexico or Canada and are interested in working in the U.S., you should determine whether or not you qualify under this category, as it can be a relatively quick and simple process.
Criminal convictions have serious and sometimes permanent consequences on a person’s immigration status. An experienced immigration attorney can work with your defense attorney to secure the best plea possible.
