Every immigration case has its own timeline, forms, and evidence requirements. Our approach stays consistent across all of them.
Shim Law Group is a boutique firm by design. Your case is not handed off to a paralegal or a call center after you sign on. Founding attorney Shimun A. Ilyayev works your case personally, from your first consultation through your final approval.
Immigration cases carry real stakes for you and your family. We know how important it is to file correctly the first time, and we treat every application, petition, and hearing with that level of care.
Our immigration attorneys are ready to review your situation and answer your questions. Contact us today at (718) 878-1177 or fill out our online form for free.
It depends on your current status, your family and work history, and your goals. During a consultation, we review your situation and explain which options, such as a family petition, adjustment of status, or asylum, may apply to you.
Timelines vary widely depending on the type of case and current USCIS processing times, from several months for some applications to a year or more for others. We give you a realistic estimate based on your specific case.
In some cases, you can apply for work authorization while your application is pending. Whether you qualify depends on the type of case you have filed, which we can review with you.
A denial is not always the end of the road. Depending on the case, you may be able to appeal, file a motion to reopen or reconsider, or refile with additional evidence. We review the denial with you to determine the best next step.
You are not required to have an attorney, but immigration forms and evidence requirements are detailed, and small mistakes can cause delays or denials. Having an attorney review and prepare your case helps avoid costly errors.
Shim Law Group is always looking to help those in need.
