At Zohar Law, we’re a full-service immigration law firm. This means we take cases that relate to a host of immigration issues. Consider the following components of immigration law that we handle to see how our New York attorneys can help you.

Green-Cards-5cc0d6ab1bb49.png

A Green Card gives an individual permission to stay in the United States to live or to work as a permanent resident. Securing a Green Card can be a cumbersome, lengthy process, so having an immigration attorney to guide you through it can be the difference between success and failure.

According to U.S. Government Services and Information, a Green Card provides:

  • Official immigration status
  • Certain rights and responsibilities
  • A path toward naturalization as a U.S. citizen

Individuals can qualify for Green Card status through:

  • Family
  • Employment
  • Special immigration
  • Refugee or asylee status
  • Human trafficking and crime victim status
  • Abuse victim status
  • Registry
  • Other

Our immigration law firm in New York can work with to figure out eligibility status, how to apply, and, ultimately, how to secure a Green Card.

VAWA-Green-Cards-5cc0d69f18095.png

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protects non-citizen immigrants who have been victims of abuse by a permanent U.S. citizen.

An individual might be eligible for a Green Card, under VAWA, if they are a victim of abuse or battery committed by:

  • A U.S. citizen spouse or former spouse
  • A U.S. citizen parent
  • A U.S. citizen son or daughter
  • A lawful permanent resident (LPR) spouse or former spouse
  • An LPR parent

If you have suffered abuse at the hands of an individual who falls into any of the above categories, you might be able to secure VAWA permanent residency. You can also file a self-petition so that the abuser is not aware of your application.

Incidents of VAWA eligibility are sensitive in nature, and the process can be detailed. If you believe you or a loved one qualify for VAWA protection, please contact our New York immigration law office today.

Special-Immigrant-Juvenile-Status-5cc0d69ac4917.png

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJ) relates to children in the U.S. who have been victims of abuse or abandonment. In other cases, children are living in the U.S. without a parent or guardian. In these situations, the juvenile might qualify to stay in the United States to live and work with a Green Card (once eligible).

Like VAWA immigration cases, SIJ cases can be extremely sensitive, complex, and time-consuming. If you’re in this situation or are advocating for a youth in need, it behooves you to work with an immigration attorney.

Non-immigrant-Visas-student-and-tourist-visas-5cc0d694c7076.png

Non-immigrant visas, unlike Green Cards, provide temporary, time-limited immigration status to individuals. Common situations that qualify for non-immigrant visas include tourism, temporary work, student status, a temporary business arrangement, or a medical treatment.

If you are seeking a non-immigrant visa for any reason, work with the team at Zohar Law in NYC to make the process a smoother one.

Naturalization-Citizenship-5cc0d692e8ac8.png

  • Permanent resident status for at least five years, and/or
  • Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, and/or

H-1B-Visas-5cc0d6ad20d55.png

H-1B Visas are a variation of non-immigrant visas. They are particular to situations where a U.S. company wants to hire non-citizen employees. Employees can apply for the H-1B Visa to work in roles, generally related to science, math, engineering, accounting, and other specialized skillsets.

Given the relationship of the H-1B Visa and the U.S. political landscape, these Visas can be at times easy and difficult to receive. If you’re having difficulty securing a Visa or would like support as you apply for one, our immigration law team can help.

L-1-Visas-5cc0d69102857.png

Like H1-B Visas, L-1 Visas are non-immigrant visas. Also referred to as “intracompany transferees,” individuals who seek L-1 Visas do so to work in a specific role at a multinational company.

Say, for instance, that an individual works with a company with offices in Mumbai, London, and Chicago. If the individual has been tapped for a role in the Chicago office but they currently live in Mumbai as a citizen of India, they can qualify for the L-1 Visa. Family members in this situation qualify for L-2 Visas.

At Zohar Law, we speak English, Arabic, Spanish, and Hebrew. We can speak with you and walk you through this process.

R-1-Visas-5cc0d696b1dfc.png

R-1 Visas, another type of non-immigrant visa, come into the picture when an individual is employed in a religious capacity. If a synagogue in New York, for instance, wants to hire a rabbi from Israel, then the rabbi can petition for an R-1 Visa to live and work in the U.S.
