According to Managing Partner Michael Wildes, for most individuals, it really is. The below scenario is one that we come across on a daily basis. Of course, we assist with any type of U.S. bound immigration matter.
Oftentimes, clients come to us after suffering from a rude awakening—they had initially filed an Adjustment of Status case on their own, had attempted to navigate the multitudes of forms required by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services and track down all of the necessary documents, and had found that the task was just too complicated and labyrinthine for them to handle on their own. Or, worse, they were disheartened to find their Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative had been returned to them by the government with a notice stating that a fee had not been paid, or a box had not been checked, and that they would have to file everything all over again.
Even the most seemingly straightforward family-based Adjustment of Status case can be complicated by the legalese of the government’s immigration system. It can be frustrating for a family who just wants to bring their loved one to the United States, or for someone who may have overstayed their visa status and wants to make things right by applying for Permanent Residency through their spouse.
Our clients come to Wildes & Weinberg, PC because they know that our firm will provide quality service and can help them navigate the complex labyrinths of the U.S. immigration system. We have on our staff many knowledgeable and experienced attorneys and paralegals who strive to make the often anxiety-inducing immigration process as easy and painless as possible for our clients. We understand not only the complexities of immigration law but also the complexities of the emotions fueling our clients—the grandmother abroad who wants to immigrate to the United States to spend the rest of her life with her children and grandchildren, the bodega owner who has been living in and serving his community for decades and now wants to become a U.S. citizen. Our guiding principle is to assist others in their journey to achieve the storied American Dream, and to help make the process as smooth as possible
