How Can an Immigration Attorney Help Me?

With decades of diverse experience in immigration and nationality law, our team of attorneys will handle all of your immigration needs. U.S. immigration laws and procedures are complicated and it is important to have the right legal assistance throughout the entire process. The immigration legal system in the U.S. involves multiple government agencies and regulations, making it complex to navigate without legal expertise.

Our immigration attorneys regularly assist both individuals and companies with many types of employment and family based immigration matters. We have unique experience assisting individuals who seek to avoid vaccination because of moral convictions or religious beliefs. Immigration attorneys help immigrants gather and present the best kind of evidence to support their case.

Vaccine Exemptions and Waivers

Immigrants are required to show proof of certain vaccinations when applying for green cards or visas. Our firm provides detailed information about vaccine waiver requirements and official guidelines to help you navigate this process. If you have sincere religious or moral objections to these vaccines, our immigration attorneys can help you obtain a waiver so you remain eligible for immigration. We have a proven track record (a near 100% success rate) in securing immigration vaccine waivers, guiding clients through the USCIS application process to overcome inadmissibility due to vaccine requirements. Our attorneys will explain each step of the waiver process to ensure you understand what is required.

Fiancé Visas

Fiancé visas (K-1 visas) allow U.S. citizens to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the United States for marriage. Our legal team assists couples in navigating every step—from filing the I-129F petition to preparing for the consular interview. We guide clients through the various processes and options available for fiancé visas, helping you understand which path best fits your situation. We help you meet key requirements (like proving a genuine relationship and meeting income thresholds) so that once married within the 90-day timeframe, your new spouse can smoothly transition to a marriage-based green card.

Changes and Extensions of Status

Life is unpredictable, and plans can change after arriving in the U.S. on a temporary visa. We assist visitors, students, and other non-immigrants in changing or extending their visa status to fit new circumstances. Our attorneys help clients select the appropriate visa category and ensure all required forms are properly submitted in accordance with current regulations. Whether you need to extend your stay or switch from one visa category to another (for example, from a student visa to a work visa), our attorneys will identify the proper USCIS forms and file timely requests. This ensures you maintain legal status and avoid gaps or overstays while we guide you to choose the best path for your changing circumstances.

Employment-Based Visas

Navigating employment immigration can be daunting for both employers and skilled foreign workers. We provide legal help to businesses navigating the various employment-based immigration options available. We help U.S. companies and professionals obtain employment-based visas and green cards efficiently. From temporary work visas like H-1B, L-1, or O-1 for specialized talent to permanent residency through employer sponsorship (PERM labor certification and employment-based green cards), our team demystifies the process.

It is important to invest your money in qualified legal representation to avoid costly mistakes and ensure compliance. We work closely with you to handle complex paperwork, regulatory compliance, and correspondence with government agencies so your business can secure the talent it needs and qualified employees can realize their American dream.

Family-Based Green Cards

Reuniting families is at the heart of U.S. immigration. Our firm provides people with comprehensive information about their family-based immigration options and guides U.S. citizens and permanent residents in sponsoring their loved ones for family-based green cards. We offer a list of the different types of family-based green cards we can assist with, including those for spouses, children, parents, and other eligible relatives. We handle petitions for these categories, ensuring all supporting evidence of genuine family relationships and financial sponsorship are in order. From filing the initial I-130 petition through the adjustment of status or consular processing, we aim to make the journey to permanent residency as smooth as possible for your family.

LEARN MORE

Adjustment of Status

If you are already in the United States, adjustment of status is the process of applying for a green card without having to leave the country. Our attorneys help eligible individuals (through family, employment, or asylum/refugee categories) file Form I-485 and all supporting documents to become lawful permanent residents. We carefully determine your eligibility category and guide you on required steps like medical exams and interviews. For those abroad or not eligible to adjust in the U.S., we also assist with consular processing at U.S. embassies—ensuring you understand each step toward obtaining your green card as efficiently as possible.

LEARN MORE

Citizenship and Naturalization

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a landmark achievement for any immigrant. We assist lawful permanent residents through the entire naturalization journey. During your consultations, you will learn about each step of the naturalization process, including eligibility, documentation, and interview preparation. Our team helps you determine eligibility (e.g. having five years of residency or three years if married to a U.S. citizen, meeting good moral character and English/Civics requirements) and prepares your N-400 application. We provide guidance on gathering documentation, practice for the citizenship exam/interview, and offer counseling and support to address any complications (such as past denials or extended absences). With experienced legal support, you can confidently work toward taking the Oath of Allegiance and securing the full rights and protections of United States citizenship.

From Our Immigration Clients



Our family is extremely grateful to Siri LLP for their expert guidance throughout our I-601 application based on religious and moral beliefs. Their attention to detail with the paperwork, timely filing, and clear communication made a complex process stress-free. Thanks to their thorough preparation, our case was approved by USCIS without even requiring an interview. We highly recommend Siri LLP to anyone navigating challenging immigration matters.

Sabeel

For over a year my husband and I searched for a competent attorney with a proven track record to handle my vaccination waiver for my green card. My green card interview was a success. Thanks to Christina and Samantha for your thoroughness and excellent preparation for my interview, it was a smooth process for a difficult task. From the beginning we were handled with care and attention. I can't recommend the firm enough.

Caroline H.

I am beyond thankful for the help that Christina and her team provided. My husband was applying for his greencard and our lawyer who was helping him with DACA for years didn’t have any confidence in the vaccine waiver. She suggested he simply get the vaccines and that would be the easiest path towards a greencard. I reached out to Siri Glimstad and they immediately helped us apply for the waiver and he officially got his greencard with no complications.

Nicole

Christina assisted me with my I-601 waiver for vaccination. She was very attentive, responding very quickly any time I had a concern or question which was very comforting. She was always confident in the waiver approval and my waiver was approved. Thank you Christina for your services!

R.G.

We are beyond grateful to the Siri Glimstad team. Our case involved vaccine-related waivers and had been stuck in limbo for months.

If you're facing a complicated I-601 or waiver-related issue, this is the team you want in your corner. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Her experience with the vaccine waiver was seen by her thorough high-quality work through the whole process. Going forward, I’ll be working with Siri & Glimstad (Christina and her team) for all my immigration needs.

We used Christina Xenides and Paulina Hermosillo for our 601 religious exemption. They were very understanding, knowledgeable, thorough and swift in regards to getting our application in to US Customs. It was approved and turned around in 3 months. I would recommend these ladies and Siri to anyone looking for exemption help.

I'm very thankful to God for you Christina and Yesennia, you were the only ones that were willing to help us to apply for residency and for the religious waiver for vaccines.

But we trusted God, everything worked out great our paperwork was filed in August and we recieved our Green cards in December. YOU ARE THE BEST THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

It was a privilege to work with Christina and Paulina who helped me through a rather complex legal process. They helped to simplify it and when I got stuck they quickly responded with the answers. I loved that they stayed in communication with me at all times. And best of all is that I got a positive outcome from the legal process that was being addressed. Yay!! Thank you ladies!

S.A.

My case was difficult. I asked for religious waiver I-601. I had a rude immigration officer who said he intended to deny me. But attorney Christina answered them properly and my case was approved shortly. I have used many attorneys so far on my long immigration journey, and this one is only one I am satisfied with. All recommendations. Now I can finally visit my family in Europe. Thank you, I am grateful.

Ivana

Another firm discouraged me when applying for a green card, telling me it would be impossible for a religious waiver. I felt doomed until I found Siri & Glimstad. They helped me write the waiver, answered all my questions and supported me through the entire process. I just got my green card and I really recommend Siri & Glimstad. They are the opposite of any bad stereotypes about lawyers. I'm so glad to have hired them!

Luiz

When looking for a company to assist me with my religious exemption I looked for those with great reviews and found that with Siri & Glimstad. Christina and her team didn’t disappoint. They where very professional, efficient and supportive throughout the process and would highly recommend them to assist you on your immigration journey.

Mark

I picked Siri & Glimstad because they were the most professional of all the firms I contacted to help me with my permanent resident application. I still think it was the best choice. Christina and Yesennia led me through the whole process. They were detail oriented and went out of their way to help with my vaccine exemption letter I had to submit. I ended up getting the Green Card 3.5 months after they submitted the application for me.

K.M.

I wanted to get permanent residency in the US to live with my wife and children. I did not want to take a covid vaccine and our attorney Christina helped us legally get my permanent residency while staying honest about our vaccine status. We are over the moon with the service we have received.

Such a weight lifted off our shoulders. I highly recommend working with Siri & Glimstad!

I came to Christina after receiving a request for evidence and being deemed inadmissible for not getting a couple vaccines. She made it easy. In less than a month my permanent resident status was approved! I now have my green card after being in the country for 13 years! Christina was a godsend and I’m so happy I found her and her team, I wouldn’t have my green card if it wasn’t for them. Forever grateful!

Such a great firm to work with! I ran into some complications with my green card application with another law firm once I found out I needed to take certain vaccines to even apply.
