Immigration Law Services in Washington, DC and New York

U.S. immigration law is primarily governed by federal law, allowing qualified immigration attorneys to represent clients in many immigration matters regardless of where they live, subject to the attorney’s admissions, the type of proceeding, and applicable rules. With experience in human rights, Karbal Law is committed to helping immigrants pursue lawful U.S. immigration status through appropriate legal channels.

Our immigration attorneys serve clients in Washington, DC and New York and assist with a range of U.S. immigration matters.

  • Our Washington, DC and New York Green Card lawyers help eligible individuals in the United States apply for lawful permanent residence through Adjustment of Status and other applicable immigration pathways.

    Obtaining a Green Card, formally known as lawful permanent resident status, can be one of the most important steps in a person's U.S. immigration journey. Adjustment of Status is the process by which an eligible person in the United States may apply to become a lawful permanent resident. However, not everyone in the United States is eligible to adjust status. Immigration history, manner of entry, prior immigration violations, criminal history, visa availability, and other factors may affect eligibility.

    For certain eligible individuals already in the United States, adjustment of status provides a pathway to apply for permanent residence without leaving the country for consular processing. Eligibility depends on the immigrant category, the applicant's circumstances, visa availability, and other requirements.

    Our immigration law practice helps individuals and families evaluate their Green Card options and navigate the application process.

  • Our marriage-based Green Card lawyers assist clients in Washington, DC and New York with the documentation, eligibility requirements, and immigration procedures involved in spousal immigration cases.

    U.S. immigration law provides several pathways through which eligible U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents may petition for their qualifying family members.

    However, family immigration is not a single process. The appropriate procedure depends on the family relationship, the petitioner's immigration status, the beneficiary's location, visa availability, and other legal requirements.
