Frequently Asked Questions
What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration to New York City?
Vaccine rules for immigration are set at the federal level by USCIS and the CDC, so New York City follows the exact same nationwide requirements. Depending on age and medical history, applicants must show vaccination for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis, varicella, Haemophilus influenzae type b (for children), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus (for infants), meningococcal, pneumococcal, and seasonal influenza.
Do you serve clients only in New York City?
We represent clients and communities throughout the entire state of New York. Whether you live in New York City’s five boroughs or in upstate and suburban areas, our attorneys are ready to assist with your immigration needs. We have experience helping clients from Manhattan to Buffalo, the Hudson Valley to the Adirondacks, with the same commitment to clear communication and attentive guidance.
Can your firm handle both family and employment visa matters together?
Yes. Our cross-specialized team coordinates all parts of your case so strategy in one area supports success in the others. For example, if you have a family-based green card case and also need an employment or investor visa, our attorneys will work together to align both processes. This collaborative approach saves you time and helps ensure that all visa applications are managed efficiently under one roof.
How long do immigration cases take?
Timeframes vary by case type and by which agencies are involved (including USCIS, the National Visa Center, and the consulate). At intake we map projected milestones for New York City clients, monitor processing times, and keep you updated so you always know what comes next. We set realistic expectations based on current processing trends and will communicate any changes or delays throughout your case.
