Sample Cases from our office

We have obtained several K status approvals including cases where applicant and beneficiary had not actually met.

We have won several cases on extreme and exceptional hardship grounds in addition to the more routine J-1 waivers.  We have also processed several J-1 changes of MUA location matters for physicians.

We have won several cases where USCIS objected to the temporariness of the position.

Our firm has been successful in numerous H-4 (and H-4 nunc pro tunc) out of status cases (involving unlawful presence leading to a three-year to ten-year bar). Of particular note, one gentleman assumed if his H-1 was renewed, his dependant's H-4s were automatically renewed. Upon learning of the need to file for H-4 renewals, this gentleman consulted various attorneys and even took his case to Court. He was unsuccessful in bringing his dependants back into H-4 status. After nearly four years of having his dependant's out of status, he contacted our firm and we were able to renew the beneficiary's H-1 and bring his derivative beneficiaries back into status within 2 days time. Please do not assume this will happen in every case. But it did in this one.  

We filed a case against the USCIS where the H-1B visa holder attempted to maintain legal status for both him and his H-4 dependents.  The attorney at the time filed the application for the H-1 extension, but neglected to submit applications for the extension of the H-4 dependents status.  We submitted a request to USCIS for the extensions of the H-4 dependents' status with a detailed legal brief. USCIS granted the request for extension and the I-94's were attached to the approval notices.
