Where we can help
Sweidy Immigration Law covers a wide range of paths. Below are the most common. Get in touch if you don't see your situation listed.
Family-Based Immigration
Petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings, reuniting families through the correct visa category. This includes I-130 petitions, adjustment of status, and consular processing for relatives abroad. Each petition is prepared with careful attention to evidentiary requirements, so that relationships are documented clearly and completely from the outset. For petitioners abroad, this includes guidance through the National Visa Center process and preparation for the consular interview.
Employment-Based Immigration
Work visas and employer-sponsored petitions for individuals building a career in the United States, including guidance through labor certification and status adjustment. This includes support for both employers navigating sponsorship obligations and employees seeking to understand their options and timelines. Cases are prepared with the documentation and consistency that USCIS and the Department of Labor expect at every stage.
Asylum & Humanitarian Relief
Protection for individuals fleeing persecution, with cases prepared as carefully as any courtroom defense: thorough documentation, credible testimony preparation, and clear guidance through each stage. This includes affirmative applications filed with USCIS as well as defensive claims raised in removal proceedings before the immigration court. Every case begins with a detailed review of the facts, followed by careful preparation of supporting evidence and country-conditions research to support the claim.
Citizenship & Naturalization
Guidance through the naturalization process, from eligibility review to civics and English preparation to the final interview. This includes reviewing continuous residence and physical presence requirements, addressing any prior issues that could affect an application, and preparing clients for the N-400 interview with confidence.
Deportation & Removal Defense
Representation in removal proceedings before the immigration court, drawing directly on a decade of courtroom defense experience. This includes identifying available forms of relief, preparing motions and supporting filings, and representing clients at each hearing before the immigration judge. Every case is approached with the same discipline and preparation used in high-stakes criminal defense work.
