Immigration Lawyer in San Francisco Bay Area, California
Experienced Counsel in Family-Based Immigration Matters
If you are living in the United States, but do not have legal residency status, you face challenges every day. You can't get work without showing your immigration papers, so you are often forced to take low-paying jobs or to be victimized by unscrupulous employers. A visa can resolve many of these issues. You want an experienced attorney to help you through the process, one who knows the law and will make certain your interests are protected.
At the office of attorney Daniel E. Chavez, we have helped individuals throughout the San Francisco Bay area with family-based immigration matters for over 30 years. Attorney Chavez is board-certified in immigration and nationality law by the state of California, the only lawyer in Sonoma County who has achieved that designation. We work hard to stay current with all changes in immigration law, so that we can provide the highest level of service to our clients. To schedule an appointment, contact our office or call us at 707-766-0471 (toll-free at 888-432-6097).
Our Family-Based Immigration Practice
We handle all types of family-based immigration matters, including applications for visas, green cards or citizenship. We represent individuals in proceedings involving:
- marriage adjustment cases. We work with spouses of people who are lawful residents of the United States.
- siblings. We handle immigration cases involving brothers or sisters of American citizens.
- foreign adoptions. We represent clients in cases where a U.S. citizen is adopting a foreign child.
- adult children of American citizens. We also represent adults whose parents have been granted citizenship status in the United States.
We know that immigration proceedings can be stressful. You may worry that immigration officials will inspect your home to see how you live, or will look closely at your tax returns to determine whether you can support yourself and your spouse. We will stand beside you throughout the process, making certain your rights and interests are protected, and answering your questions quickly and completely.
We will handle all matters related to an immigration proceeding, completing all necessary paperwork and acting as your representative in all hearings or proceedings.
