Walnut Creek Immigration Attorneys

Common Immigration Cases We Handle

Every situation is different, and each person’s immigration journey will require a unique approach. We will work closely with you to discuss your concerns and identify available benefits that meet your needs. 

Our Walnut Creek immigration attorneys can assist you with cases involving:

• Asylum Claims. If you have been persecuted or fear future persecution in your home country due to your race, religion, national origin political beliefs, or membership in a particular social group, you may be eligible for asylum protection. We can help you seek refuge in California and guide you through each step of the process.
• Family Immigration. United States citizens and lawful permanent residents can sponsor certain types of relatives for green cards, which allow recipients to live and work in the United States on a semi-permanent basis. If you would like close family members or your fiancé to join you in the U.S, we can assist with the applicable applications.
• Visas. Our firm can assist you with both immigrant and non-immigrant visas, including employer-sponsored green cards, temporary work visas, visitor visas, student visas, treaty trader and investor visas, diplomat and official visas, and visas for victims of human trafficking, crime, or abuse.
• Naturalization and Citizenship. Many immigrants hope to eventually become permanent United States citizens. Only lawful permanent residents can initiate the naturalization process after meeting certain requirements, including maintaining several years of continuous and physical presence in the country. We can determine if you are eligible for naturalization, assist with your application, and help you prepare for the citizenship exam and in-person interview with a USCIS officer.
• Waivers and Appeals. A visa application may be rejected for a wide spectrum of reasons, but we can handle the appeals process and will do everything possible to help you access the benefits you need. If you or a loved one has been ruled inadmissible to the United States, we can also explore what waivers may be available and assist you with seeking the appropriate relief.
• Deportation Defense. If you or a loved one are facing removal proceedings, our team at Ratner Molineaux can provide aggressive legal representation. Depending on your circumstances, we will contest charges of removability or request applicable relief. You may potentially be eligible for an adjustment of status, asylum protection, cancellation of removal, or one of several other remedies.
