Our attorneys are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer questions, offer guidance, and keep your case moving forward. We offer both in-person and phone consultations, so there’s no waiting, no matter your time zone. When urgent legal issues arise, you can count on us.

Common Immigration Cases We Handle
Family-Based Immigration
Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain relatives for a green card. We can help with spousal visas (IR-1, CR-1), fiancé(e) visas (K-1), parent and sibling petitions, and adjustment of status for family members already living in the United States.
Employment-Based Visas
We assist businesses and foreign nationals with a wide range of work visas, including H-1B visas for specialty occupation workers, O-1 visas for individuals with extraordinary ability, L-1 visas for intracompany transferees, and TN visas for Canadian and Mexican professionals. We also handle employment-based green card petitions for employees a business wants to retain long-term.
Citizenship and Naturalization
If you've been a lawful permanent resident and are ready to take the next step, our immigration attorneys in California can guide you through the naturalization process.
Whether you're pursuing a green card through a family member, employer, or another qualifying entity, we'll help you understand the process, prepare the required documentation, and avoid delays.
We assist current and eligible DACA recipients with renewal applications and help them understand how changes in immigration policy may affect their status.
Individuals fleeing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group may qualify for asylum in the United States. Law House PC helps applicants understand the asylum process, prepare their applications, and present their cases effectively.
If you or a family member is facing deportation or removal proceedings, time is critical. Our California immigration attorneys will review your case, identify every available defense, and fight to keep you and your family in the United States.
Immigration status requires ongoing attention. We help clients renew expiring visas, extend their authorized stay, change from one visa category to another, and address gaps or violations in status.
Receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE) or an outright denial from USCIS doesn't always mean the end of the road. Our attorneys review what went wrong and help clients appeal or refile when there's a viable path forward.
We Guide You Through the Process
Understanding what to expect can make an already difficult situation feel a little more manageable. Here's how the process generally works when you bring your case to Law House PC.
FAQ for Our
Immigration Lawyer in California
What does an immigration lawyer do?
An immigration lawyer helps individuals, families, and businesses navigate the legal process of obtaining visas, green cards, citizenship, and other immigration benefits. At Law House PC, our team handles the paperwork, prepares you for interviews, and represents your interests so you don't have to figure it out alone.
Do I need an immigration attorney, or can I handle my case myself?
You can file many immigration applications on your own, but immigration law is complex, and small mistakes can result in serious delays or denials. Working with an immigration attorney in California means having a knowledgeable advocate in your corner who knows what to expect and how to avoid common pitfalls like missing deadlines or filling out forms incorrectly.
How long does the immigration process take?
Processing times vary depending on the type of case, your country of origin, and current government processing volumes. Some applications are resolved in a few months, while others, especially family-based petitions, can take several years. Our team will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Can you help if I've already received a denial or deportation order?
Yes. If you've received a denial, an RFE, or a deportation order, there may still be options available to you. Our California immigration attorneys can review what happened and help determine the best path forward.
What is the difference between a green card and a visa?
A visa allows you to enter the United States temporarily for a specific purpose, like work, study, or tourism. A green card grants you lawful permanent resident status, which means you can live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.
