At the Law Office of Brian A. Seyfried and Nestor Vicario, we strive to fight for our clients to remain in the United States and handle a spectrum of family-based immigration matters such as: family-based petitions through adjustment of status or consular processing, waivers, U-visas for those that have been victims of crimes, and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) petitions. In addition, our attorneys have vast experience litigating for clients in immigration court proceedings for asylum, withholding, Convention Against Torture (CAT) cases, cancellation of removal for non-lawful permanent residents, and cancellation of removal for lawful permanent residents. Immigration law changes often and those changes can affect whether you can qualify for relief now or in the future. It is important to consult with one of our attorneys at WLCS to help assist you in understanding the immigration benefits you qualify for to remain here in the United States.
