Brooklyn Immigration FAQs

Do you serve all Brooklyn neighborhoods?

Yes! We serve clients throughout all Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Williamsburg, Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Brighton Beach, Bushwick, Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, and all other Brooklyn communities. We provide virtual consultations accessible from anywhere in Brooklyn.

How do I sponsor my spouse for a green card in Brooklyn?

If you're a U.S. citizen or green card holder in Brooklyn, you can sponsor your spouse by filing Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative). If your spouse is in the U.S., they can then file Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status). If abroad, they go through consular processing. Our attorneys guide Brooklyn families through this entire process, including preparing evidence of bona fide marriage, financial support documents, and interview preparation.

What languages does your firm speak?

Our attorneys work in English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, and Swahili. We understand that clear communication in your preferred language is essential for immigration matters. Tell us when you call if you need another language.

Can you help with DACA renewals for Brooklyn residents?

Yes. We assist Brooklyn residents with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) renewal applications, employment authorization documents (EADs), and advance parole travel documents. DACA renewals should be filed well before your current status expires.

How much does an immigration attorney cost in Brooklyn?

Immigration attorney fees in Brooklyn depend on your case type: family-based green cards and naturalization cost less than asylum cases or deportation defense, which involve far more work on the record. Flat fees are quoted in writing before work starts, and payment plans are available. Government filing fees are set by USCIS, published on uscis.gov, and listed separately from our fee.

Where is the USCIS office for Brooklyn residents?

Brooklyn residents are generally scheduled for USCIS interviews at the USCIS office named on your appointment notice; some cases are assigned to the New York Field Office at 26 Federal Plaza, Manhattan, so always check the address on your appointment notice. This office handles naturalization interviews, green card interviews, asylum interviews, and other immigration appointments for all NYC boroughs including Brooklyn. The office is accessible via subway (4, 5, 6 trains to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall). Our attorneys represent Brooklyn clients at all USCIS offices.

Can I get a work permit while my green card is pending in Brooklyn?

Yes. If you filed Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) for a green card, you can apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) using Form I-765. USCIS processing times for the I-765 change regularly — check the current figure on the USCIS processing-times page, or ask us at your consultation. This work permit allows you to work for any U.S. employer while your green card application is pending. You can also apply for advance parole travel authorization simultaneously.

How long does it take to become a U.S. citizen from Brooklyn?

Brooklyn residents can apply for U.S. citizenship (naturalization) after holding a green card for 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen). The steps are the same in every case: file Form N-400, application review, biometrics, the interview at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, and the oath ceremony. How long each step takes changes regularly with USCIS workload — check the current figure for the N-400 on the USCIS processing-times page, or ask us at your consultation. Our attorneys help Brooklyn residents prepare for the civics test and interview.
