From Our Immigration Clients

Frequently Asked Questions

What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration to California?

Vaccine rules for immigration are set at the federal level by USCIS and the CDC, so California 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.

What should I expect at my green card interview?

At a green card interview, a U.S. immigration officer will review your application and ask you questions about your background, relationships, or employment. We help our California clients prepare by organizing their documents, practicing interview questions, and ensuring they understand what to expect.

What should I do if I’m facing deportation?

If you are facing deportation, it’s critical to consult an experienced immigration attorney immediately. We guide you through defenses like cancellation of removal or asylum and represent you in immigration court to fight for your right to remain in the U.S.

What can I do if my immigration application is denied?

If your immigration application is denied, you may have options such as filing an appeal or a motion to reopen the case. An immigration attorney can review the denial notice, advise on the best course, and help you address the issues for a better chance of success.

What visa options are available for investors in California?

Investors can pursue visas like the E-2 Treaty Investor visa or the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which can lead to a green card. A California immigration attorney will help assess your plans, ensure you meet the qualifications, and guide you toward the visa that best fits your situation.

Can I handle my immigration case without a lawyer?

While it’s possible to file immigration applications on your own, even small mistakes can cause costly delays or denials. Working with an experienced immigration lawyer helps you avoid errors and gives you an advocate to navigate complex procedures with confidence.
