06Questions clients ask

Immigration Attorney Manhattan FAQs

What immigration services does your Manhattan law firm provide?
Mandi Law Group provides comprehensive immigration legal services including family-based immigration, employment visas and green cards, citizenship applications, deportation defense, asylum petitions, visa applications, consular processing, waivers of inadmissibility, and all other immigration matters. We handle cases before USCIS, Immigration Court, and federal courts.
How long does it take to get a green card in Manhattan, New York?
It depends on the category, and on two separate clocks. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (spouse, parent, unmarried child under 21) have no annual quota, so the only wait is USCIS and consular processing. Family preference and employment-based categories additionally wait for a priority date to become current under the monthly Visa Bulletin, which for some countries of birth runs to years. USCIS publishes its own processing times per form and office and they change regularly, so check the current figure for your form, or ask us at your consultation. Your attorney will read both the Visa Bulletin and the current USCIS figures against your facts and give you a realistic timeline.
Can I work legally while my immigration case is pending?
Work authorization depends on your current status and application type. Adjustment of status applicants can file for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) alongside the I-485; USCIS processing times for the I-765 change regularly, so check the current figure or ask us at your consultation. Asylum applicants can apply for work permits 150 days after filing. H-1B and other work visa holders maintain employment authorization. Your attorney will clarify your specific work rights.
What should I do if I receive a deportation notice in Manhattan?
Contact an immigration attorney immediately. Deportation (removal) proceedings are serious legal matters requiring urgent professional representation. Your attorney will file appearances with Immigration Court, analyze your case for relief options including cancellation of removal, asylum, adjustment of status, and develop a comprehensive defense strategy to fight deportation.
How much does an immigration attorney cost in Manhattan?
Attorney fees depend on case complexity and service type: a straightforward citizenship application costs less than a family green card, and employment-based cases and deportation defense cost more because far more evidence and time are involved. Flat fees are quoted in writing before work starts, and payment plans are available. Government filing fees are set by USCIS and listed separately. Call (518) 698-0347 for a consultation and written fee quote.
Can my family members immigrate with me to the United States?
Yes, derivative immigration benefits allow qualifying family members to accompany principal immigrants. Work visa holders can bring spouses and children. Green card applicants can include derivative beneficiaries. U.S. citizens and permanent residents can sponsor family members through separate petitions. Your attorney will identify all available options for family reunification.
What is the difference between adjustment of status and consular processing?
Adjustment of status is the process of applying for a green card while physically present in the United States. Consular processing involves applying for an immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Your attorney will determine which pathway is appropriate based on your current location, visa status, and immigration history.
How can I become a U.S. citizen if I have a green card?
Green card holders can apply for naturalization (citizenship) after meeting residency requirements (typically 5 years, or 3 years if married to U.S. citizen), demonstrating good moral character, passing English and civics tests, and taking the oath of allegiance. Your attorney will assess eligibility, prepare your N-400 application, and represent you at the naturalization interview.
What happens if my visa or green card application is denied?
Immigration denials require immediate legal analysis. Your attorney will review the denial reason, assess appeal or motion to reopen options, identify alternative pathways, and develop a strategy to overcome the denial. Many denials can be successfully challenged through administrative appeals, motions to reconsider, federal court litigation, or reapplication with stronger evidence.
