Yes. White Plains is home to major employers in healthcare, financial services, and professional services — many of whom regularly sponsor H-1B professionals. Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) listing White Plains as the worksite, then file the H-1B petition with USCIS. Cap-subject H-1B petitions are subject to the annual lottery. We work with White Plains employers on both the LCA compliance and the full USCIS petition process.
If you entered on a visa and overstayed, or entered without inspection, your options depend on your family ties and employment. If you have a U.S. citizen spouse, parent, or adult child who can petition for you, and if you do not have prior removal orders, an I-601A waiver may allow you to pursue a green card through consular processing with only a brief departure. If you have been in the U.S. 10+ years and have qualifying family facing hardship, cancellation of removal may be an option if you are placed in proceedings. A consultation is essential — do not file any USCIS application without a legal review.
Yes. While Westchester County has adopted policies limiting local law enforcement cooperation with ICE, federal immigration enforcement is active throughout the county. ICE operations have targeted undocumented individuals in White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, and surrounding communities. If you or a family member is detained by ICE in Westchester, call us immediately. We file habeas corpus petitions, bond motions, and other emergency filings to address ICE detention.
If you received your green card through a U.S. citizen spouse and are still married to and living with that spouse, you may apply after 3 years of LPR status. Otherwise, the standard requirement is 5 years of LPR status with 30 months of physical presence in the U.S. and no single trip abroad of more than 6 months. You may file your N-400 up to 90 days before your 5-year anniversary. We review your travel history and background before recommending filing to ensure no complications exist.
