   Long Island is home to vibrant immigrant communities from Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond.

   Naturalization & U.S. Citizenship

   Help Long Island permanent residents become U.S. citizens. We prepare N-400 naturalization applications, provide citizenship test and interview preparation, assist with N-600 certificates of citizenship for children, and represent clients at USCIS interviews in Garden City and other locations.

   Long Island clients facing removal proceedings can ask a cancellation of removal attorney whether they qualify for this defense before it is too late to raise it.

Long Island Immigration FAQs

Do you serve both Nassau and Suffolk Counties?

Yes! We serve clients throughout all of Long Island, including all towns in Nassau County (Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Glen Cove, Long Beach) and Suffolk County (Islip, Brookhaven, Babylon, Huntington, Smithtown, Riverhead, Southold, East Hampton, Southampton, Shelter Island). From the Nassau/Queens border to Montauk Point — we help Long Island residents with all immigration matters.

Where is the USCIS office for Long Island residents?

Long Island residents typically attend USCIS interviews at the Garden City USCIS office (Garden City Plaza) for certain applications, or at the NYC USCIS office (26 Federal Plaza, Manhattan) for others. Always go by the address printed on your USCIS appointment notice (Form I-797C) — that notice names the office, the date and the time. The location depends on your application type and residence. We represent Long Island clients at all USCIS offices and immigration courts.

How can Long Island employers sponsor foreign workers?

Long Island employers can sponsor foreign workers through several visa categories: H-1B (specialty occupation workers), L-1 (intracompany transferees), O-1 (individuals with extraordinary ability), E-2 (treaty investors and their employees), TN (NAFTA/USMCA professionals), and employment-based green cards. The process involves filing Labor Condition Applications (LCA) or PERM labor certification, then filing visa petitions with USCIS. Our attorneys guide Long Island businesses through employer compliance, visa petitions, and I-9 requirements.

Can you help with investor visas for Long Island businesses?

Yes. We assist foreign nationals investing in Long Island businesses with E-2 treaty investor visas (requires substantial investment and active management of a U.S. business) and EB-5 immigrant investor green cards (requires minimum $800,000-$1,050,000 investment creating 10 full-time jobs). Long Island's diverse economy offers opportunities in restaurants, retail, real estate, franchises, healthcare, and professional services.

How much does an immigration attorney cost on Long Island?

Attorney fees vary by case complexity, so we do not publish a price list. We quote a flat fee in writing before any work starts, payment plans are available, and government filing fees are set by USCIS, published on uscis.gov, and billed separately. Consultations are confidential and paid; you will know the cost of your matter before you commit to it.

Can I sponsor my parents for a green card from Long Island?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen who is at least 21 years old, you can sponsor your parents for green cards through the immediate relative category. There is no waiting period or quota for parents of U.S. citizens. The process involves filing Form I-130 for each parent and Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support). If your parents are already in the U.S., they can file I-485 to adjust status. Long Island residents typically process cases through USCIS and may have interviews at Garden City or Manhattan offices.

How do healthcare workers on Long Island get green cards?

Healthcare workers on Long Island (nurses, physical therapists, physicians, medical technologists) can obtain green cards through employment-based immigration. Registered nurses typically use EB-3, physicians with exceptional ability may qualify for EB-2 National Interest Waiver, and those with extraordinary ability may use EB-1, which is generally the quickest route where the applicant qualifies. The process involves PERM labor certification (unless waived), I-140 petition, and I-485 adjustment of status. Long Island's many hospitals and healthcare facilities regularly sponsor qualified foreign healthcare professionals.

What is the timeline for naturalization on Long Island?

Long Island residents can apply for U.S. citizenship after 5 years as a permanent resident (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen). The steps are: file Form N-400, attend the biometrics appointment, sit the interview and civics/English test (typically at the Garden City USCIS office or 26 Federal Plaza), receive a decision, and take the oath. Processing times change regularly — check the current figure for your form and office on the USCIS processing-times page, or ask us at your consultation. Our attorneys help Long Island residents prepare applications, study for the civics test, and prepare for interviews.
