Waivers and Appeals Attorney in Walnut Creek

Identifying Options for Admissibility Through Waivers and Appeals in the Bay Area

Receiving a denial of an immigration application can seem devastating. However, a denial does not mean that your opportunity to come to work and live in the United States is over. Instead, you should not wait to contact an experienced waivers and appeals attorney at California’s premier immigration firm, Ratner Molineaux, LLP.

Immigration Waivers

Many people who are disqualified from immigration pathways, including visas and green cards, are able to obtain a waiver of their inadmissibility. Different situations will require different types of waivers, and the following are some options for our clients in this situation:

  • Waiver of specific criminal convictions
  • Provisional unlawful presence waiver
  • Hardship unlawful presence waiver
  • Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
  • Getting a green card while you are in the U.S.
  • Prosecutorial discretion

Our legal team can evaluate which waivers apply to your situation and handle the process of seeking that waiver for your case.

Immigration Appeals

We can review a denial of your immigrant visa or green card application and determine the best course of action to appeal the denial. We might be able to file a request for the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) to reconsider or reopen your application. This involves providing information and evidence to support the petition, and you only have 30 days from your denial to do so.

We might also file an appeal with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which could result in your denial being reversed or sent back to the immigration officer for another review.

  • “David and team have done an amazing job”

    David and team have done an amazing job helping to secure a settlement due to my cessation of employment at a top firm. Thank you so much for your help.

  • “Highly Recommend”
    Highly recommend. Laid off without notice by a shady Pre IPO lender in San Francisco. No one was given severance and they hired a labor attorney ahead of the layoffs to try and get around paying severance and warn notice. Without this firm taking my case, I would have never received a dime. Do not let a lay off without any severance deter you, contact this firm. Odd thing was 1 letter from this firm and severance was immediately offered. It's a game these high-tech companies are playing and gambling on. Their bet is 98% will not do anything severance and for the small percent that do, the amount to pay versus provided all in the layoff, is pennies on the dollar. Get your documentation, all emails, take photos of slack messages, record any zoom calls where there is a statement " no one is getting laid off" and so forth. Records any zoom calls where you are laid off. Take notes. Protect yourself and family. Working all the holidays and 12-hour days to be let go with nothing, is ridiculous. Use this firm and provide all your documentation. Good Luck!

  • “Extremely Satisfied”
    I was referred to Ratner Molineaux after my daughter and I suffered injury and property damage resulting from a defective product in our home. During my very first conversation with David Ratner, I found him to be straightforward, professional, and extremely responsive to my concerns. Thereafter, David took the time to walk us through each and every stage of the litigation process and was an excellent advocate for my daughter and I. He remained fiercely protective of our interests and represented us well during mediation, preparation for trial, and settlement talks. David's style is very direct and to the point, which might be off putting for some, but worked well for me since I tend to be laser focused when dealing with business matters. Near the conclusion of my case, I had the opportunity to meet his partner Shelley, who had also diligently and effectively assisted with our litigation. In the end, our result was more than adequate, and both my daughter and I walked away extremely satisfied with both the representation we'd received, and the outcome of our claim. I definitely recommend this firm.

  • “Professional opinion and experienced perspective”
    reached out to Ratner Molineaux after a previous attorney referral did not follow through despite the time sensitivity of my issue. The Ratner Molineaux team responded quickly to schedule a consultation on a work-related matter. David Ratner reviewed my issues and provided options and great advice how I could proceed. It was great peace of mind to have a professional opinion and experienced perspective. The consultation with David Ratner gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to make my final decision.
