The Immigration Department of
Hanis
Irvine Prothero provides professional immigration legal services to
people from all over the World. The firm's clients include a
wide range of U.S. and international businesses, non-profit organizations,
families, and individuals. Because Immigration Law is federal
law, many immigration matters can be successfully filed regardless
of physical location.
Cynthia Irvine and
Florian Purganan maintain
a focused practice to ensure that they are informed with the most
current information in this complex and always changing area of law.
In addition to our professional legal counseling, we will complete
all forms, assist our clients in the collection of essential documentation,
file all applications, and attend immigration interviews and hearings
with our clients.
The Department also features attorneys
and staff members who speak a variety of foreign languages, and who
provide constant access to confidential updates to case status securely
online.
Our department can assist local, national, and international
businesses in questions of immigration for employees both here and
abroad. There are several types of temporary visas available
for many employment situations, including those for professional employees,
intra-company transferees, business visitors, international investors,
and treaty traders. Our department will advise on the standards
and requirements of the various visa options and recommend which are
applicable to the client’s particular situation. In addition,
U.S. employers may sponsor foreign national employees for Permanent
Resident status.
We will advise both employers and employees on whether
this process is a viable option for their profession and for their
circumstances of employment.
The Immigration Department of
Hanis Irvine
Prothero routinely assists in the reunification of families through
the immigrant visa process. We are experienced in all types
of family-based immigration applications including spousal, fiancé,
parent, child, and sibling petitions. Our Immigration Law Department
provides advice to our clients on the application process that will
result in the fastest possible reunification of family members under
the law, including counsel on any eligibility for special immigration
programs available to family members. We will also explain and acquire
all possible benefits for our clients while their applications are
pending including work authorization and permission to travel outside
the United States.
Cynthia and
Florian can also guide permanent residents
through the entire process of naturalization. In addition to
the general services of determining eligibility for citizenship and
filing the application, we will help to give our clients the optimal
chance of success at their citizenship interview by helping to prepare
our clients for the required English and Civics tests. We also handle
appeals of denials of citizenship and advise our clients as to
their options and chances for success on appeal.
