Cleveland Ohio Fiancé Visa Attorney

Legal Help With Immigrant Visas for Fiancé(e)s or Spouses

Member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)

The United States allows citizens and legal permanent residents (green card holders) to petition for their spouses and/or fiancé(e)s to receive immigration status. Although the process of getting a spouse or fiancé(e) visa may seem easy, there are roadblocks and detours in the family-based immigration system. The best way to avoid them is by hiring an experienced family-based visa immigration attorney.

At the immigration law office of Philip Eichorn Co., LPA, we handle immigration-related legal matters from visa petitions to deportation defense and everything in-between. We have the resources to answer all your questions relating to spousal and fiancé(e) visas. We can help you plan the entire process — whether you are already married or are seeking a fiancé(e) visa. We also provide strategic and procedural advice regarding immigration of other family members such as parents, children and stepchildren.

In family visa cases, the USCIS routinely issues Requests for Evidence (or RFE's) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID's). These must be responded to within the allotted time and should be answered by an attorney. We have vast experience in dealing with these types of cases. The foreign national is under an extreme amount of pressure to submit a proper and timely response. There are legal burdens that must be met. There are evidence burdens that must be overcome. We know these burdens and how to win your case.

We have strategically placed offices in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio as well as Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte, North Carolina. We have worked with clients from countries all over the world, including Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Europe, Mexico, Canada and the Middle East. In addition to representing clients in family immigration matters, we also help clients obtain permanent employment visas and temporary work visas. In many cases, our relationship with a client does not end until we guide the immigrant spouse through the process of becoming a naturalized citizen.

• Spousal K-3 visas and I-130 petitions: Citizens and permanent residents can petition for permanent green cards on behalf of their wives or husbands who are foreign nationals. As these petitions can take several months and the wait times for consular interviews can be lengthy, petitioners frequently use the K-3 visa for their spouse to enter the U.S. more quickly. We are happy to represent you from the beginning of your spousal visa application and throughout the process. Or, if you try it on your own and run into difficulties during the process, contact us for guidance and legal advice.
• Fiancé(e) K-1 visas: Fiancé(e) visas are temporary (non-immigrant) visas available to foreign nationals planning to marry U.S. citizens. They must apply for the visa and get permission to travel to the U.S. to marry. Once married, they must submit an application to adjust status to that of permanent resident. This is a separate application from the initial fiancé(e) K-1 visa petition and must be filed as soon as possible after entry and marriage.

Green Cards for Immigrant Family Members in Abusive Relationships: If your immigration status is based on your family relationship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and if you are the victim of abuse, you may be able to self-petition for independent legal immigrant status via the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We help abuse victims with visas under VAWA at reduced legal rates.

If you have questions or concerns about fiancé(e) or spousal visas, including questions about wait times, work authorization, adjustment of status, returning residents, petition to remove conditional status of your two-year green card, waivers or consular processing, please call us at 216-298-1191 today.
