Our approach is client-centered. We take the time to listen, clarify your options, and map out a practical path forward.

Communication and accessibility are central to our work. We are bilingual, providing services in both English and Spanish. Furthermore, we will meet virtually to accommodate busy schedules and to make our services available to people throughout the United States. 

Visa Options for Different Situations

There are several different types of visas, and we can advise on which works best for your situation. Here’s a basic overview of the most common options: 

• CR1 visas grant a 2-year conditional green card for couples married for less than two years
• IR1 visas provide a permanent 10-year green card for couples married for two years or more. 
• K-1 fiancé visas allow intended spouses to enter the U.S. for the purpose of getting married within 90 days. 
• Family preference visas, like F2A, apply to spouses and unmarried children under 21 of lawful permanent residents. 
• Conditional C21/C22 visas are issued when the marriage is under two years 

Whatever marriage visa you need, our lawyer is ready to help. Our office offers easy access to I-405 and the Marina Freeway, we serve the Greater Los Angeles Area.
