A few words on immigration by Ms. Hoffman:
Careful and timely analysis and selection of the best visa options and visa categories can avoid immigration disasters. An experienced attorney, well versed in the intricacies of U.S. Immigration law is absolutely imperative to acquiring a lawful status within the United States or obtaining a visa at a U.S. consulate abroad.   An expert of U.S. Immigration matters, Aggie R. Hoffman is authorized to represent clients before the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) in all 50 states; she is likewise experienced in consular visa processing.

Other complicating factors include increased processing times by the government of various visa petitions and unavailability of immigrant visas (green cards). As a result, a temporary (nonimmigrant) employment-based visa such as an H-1, L-1, E-1, E-2, O or P should be processed before any PERM or immigrant petition (I-140) is filed.  At the same time, care must be exercised to avoid expiration of such temporary  visas before the immigrant visa (green card) becomes available, exposing the applicant to unlawful status.

U.S. Immigration law is a complex field requiring special expertise. ADVANCE PLANNING and careful strategy are critical to the successful processing of visas and green cards.

Violating a visa, whether engaging in unauthorized employment or simply overstaying a visa's limit carries SEVERE penalties (See IIRAIRA). These penalties may include DEPORTATION as well as inadmissibility to the U.S. for as long as 10 years.

Other complicating factors include increased processing times by the government of various visa petitions and immigration benefits. As a result, a temporary employment based visa such as an H-1B or L-1 may expire before the immigrant visa (green card) becomes available, exposing the applicant to unlawful status.
