These family-based petitions mean you're tapping into a visa category that is not limited by annual numerical caps. We understand the complexities involved in reuniting families across borders and are committed to assist our clients through the requirements set by the National Visa Center, including the completion of the DS-160 form, and preparing them for the consular interview process.

Petition for Fiancée- K-1/K-2 Fiancée visas and Consular Processing

From the initial application to the final stages of obtaining the visa, our team ensures that every detail is attended to with precision and care. We assist clients in compiling the necessary documentation, preparing for interviews, and understanding the specific requirements that must be met to qualify for a fiancée visa.

Petition for non- Immediate relatives ( Family Preference visas)and Consular Processing

Our firm guides U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who desire their family members to reside in the United States, permanently. The journey to permanent residency is a process that requires patience and careful monitoring of the US State Visa Bulletin due to the annual limits set by Congress on the number of immigrants in certain categories.

These categories, referred to as Preference Categories, are designed for specific family members who are not considered immediate relatives, thus facing a waiting period for visa availability.

FAMILY BASED PETITIONS

Over the years, our attorneys have successfully helped many clients with their immigration issues. Here are a few examples of how the Maiaklovsky Law Firm assists its clients with their immigration case.

Appeal to Board of Immigration Appeal (BIA)

Our firm specializes in handling appeals from unfavorable immigration decisions, including those issued by immigration judges and DHS district directors, to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in Falls Church, Virginia. We recently secured a victory in a case where a petition for an alien relative was denied due to interview discrepancies by a USCIS District Officer. Upon review, we identified errors in the interview process and filed an appeal with the BIA. As a result, the case was remanded to the USCIS field office, leading to the approval of our client’s petition and enabling their spouse to pursue adjustment of status successfully.

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Our firm represents Immigrants, men or women, who are victims of battering or extreme cruelty perpetrated by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or a parent. Under the Violence against Women Act (VAWA), the victims are given an opportunity to self-petition for permanent residency in the United States. The law also give the same opportunity to children who are abused by their parents or elderly parents who are abused by their children. Our office often needs to collaborate within forensic analysts to submit evidence of abuse. In one similar case, our office successfully assisted victims of extreme abuse in collecting and organizing their documentation in having their petition for residency approved.

Deportation and removal Proceedings

Our firm specializes in representing immigrants facing deportation and removal proceedings, including Green Card holders who have violated residency terms. We have successfully helped clients avoid deportation through strategies such as securing Deferral of Removal under the Convention against Torture. Our goal is to resolve immigration issues, allowing clients to live in the United States without fear of deportation.
