Specialized immigration services for Borough Park's Israeli, Hasidic, and Orthodox communities, including investor visas, religious worker petitions, and family immigration.
Israel has an E-2 treaty with the United States, allowing Israeli nationals who invest a substantial amount in a U.S. business to obtain E-2 status. Borough Park's vibrant business community includes many Israeli entrepreneurs who qualify. We prepare complete E-2 petitions including business plans, investment documentation, and management structure evidence.
Israeli professionals in academia, business, science, and the arts often qualify for EB-1A extraordinary ability green cards. EB-1A requires no employer sponsor and has no per-country backlog — making it highly attractive for Israeli nationals compared to employment preference categories. We evaluate your publications, awards, media coverage, and compensation to build a compelling EB-1A petition.
Family petitions for Borough Park's Orthodox and Hasidic communities. We also handle R-1 religious worker visas for rabbis, teachers of religious doctrine, and other religious workers employed by synagogues and yeshivas in Borough Park — with a path to EB-4 religious worker green cards.
I-485 adjustment of status at the Brooklyn USCIS Field Office (2914 Atlantic Ave). Employment-based green cards for Borough Park professionals and religious workers. Family-based adjustment for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and LPRs in the Borough Park community.
N-400 naturalization applications for Borough Park's long-term permanent residents. Many in the Orthodox community have held green cards for decades and have not yet applied for citizenship. We review eligibility, travel history, and any complications before recommending filing.
Representation at 26 Federal Plaza Immigration Court for Borough Park and Brooklyn residents in removal proceedings. We pursue adjustment of status, cancellation, and other relief for community members facing deportation.
The E-2 treaty investor visa allows nationals of treaty countries — including Israel — to enter and work in the U.S. based on a substantial investment in a bona fide U.S. business. The investment must be active (not idle funds), substantial (no minimum dollar amount, but typically $50,000–$200,000+ depending on the type of business), and the investor must direct and develop the business. E-2 status is granted in two-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business continues. Borough Park has many Israeli-owned businesses whose owners could qualify. There is no annual cap or lottery for E-2 visas.
Yes. The R-1 nonimmigrant religious worker visa is available for persons coming to the U.S. to work in a religious vocation or occupation for a qualifying religious organization. Rabbis, cantors, and teachers of religious doctrine employed by a nonprofit synagogue or yeshiva qualify. R-1 status is initially granted for 30 months and can be extended to a total of 5 years. After 2 years in R-1 status, the employer can sponsor the worker for an EB-4 special immigrant religious worker green card. We handle both R-1 petitions and EB-4 religious worker green card applications for Borough Park institutions.
Israeli nationals who entered on a visa waiver (ESTA) or B-1/B-2 tourist visa have several potential paths. If you are married to or an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, a family-based green card may be available. If you own or plan to invest in a U.S. business, an E-2 visa could provide status and work authorization. If you have extraordinary professional achievements, an EB-1A or O-1 self-petition may apply. You should not overstay your authorized admission period, as accrued unlawful presence can trigger 3- or 10-year bars. Consult with us before your visa expires to identify the best pathway.
Correct. The EB-1A (aliens of extraordinary ability) and EB-1B (outstanding researchers) categories are first-preference employment-based visas that are not subject to the per-country backlogs that delay Indian and Chinese nationals in EB-2 and EB-3. As long as there are available EB-1 visa numbers — which there generally are for countries other than India and China — an approved Israeli EB-1A petitioner can proceed directly to I-485 adjustment without waiting years. This makes EB-1A one of the fastest paths to a green card for highly accomplished Israeli professionals.
