Our Core Immigration Law Services
The Tran Law Firm handles a comprehensive range of Immigration and Naturalization matters. We organize our practice around the vital needs of our clients:
1. Family-Based Petitions & Green Cards
We help families stay together and build their futures in the United States. We assist parents, spouses, children, siblings, and grandparents through every phase of securing Lawful Permanent Residency (LPR) or a “Green Card.”
-
Adjustment of Status (AOS): For eligible family members who are already physically present within the United States.
-
Consular Processing: For family members applying for their immigrant visas from outside the United States at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
-
Removal of Conditions: Assisting conditional residents in filing Form I-751 to secure their permanent 10-year green cards.
2. Citizenship and Naturalization
Becoming a United States citizen is the ultimate goal for many immigrants. Our attorneys are highly skilled in navigating the naturalization process. We assist with:
-
Standard Naturalization Applications (Form N-400).
-
Derivative Citizenship: Determining citizenship eligibility for children under the Child Citizenship Act and securing Certificates of Citizenship.
-
Complex Eligibility Reviews: Providing strategic counsel on whether you should file for citizenship if you have past criminal convictions, extended travel history outside the U.S., or military service exemptions.
3. Fiancé Visas (K-1 Visas)
If you are a U.S. citizen engaged to a foreign national, we can help you secure a K-1 fiancé visa.
-
The 90-Day Rule: Once the visa is issued, your fiancé has 90 days from entering the U.S. to legally marry you. After marriage, we immediately assist with their Adjustment of Status application.
-
The 2-Year Meeting Requirement: The law requires that you have met your fiancé in person at least once within the last two years.
-
Legal Exceptions: We can help you navigate the two rare exceptions to the in-person meeting rule: severe extreme hardship to the U.S. citizen, or if meeting would violate strict, long-established cultural or social customs.
4. Humanitarian relief & Victim Visas
We provide urgent, confidential legal support for vulnerable individuals seeking safety, stability, and legal status in the U.S.:
-
VAWA Petitions: Helping victims of domestic violence seek legal status independently of an abusive spouse or parent.
-
Humanitarian Parole & DACA: Navigating deferred action and temporary pathways to safety.
5. Non-Immigrant Visas, Extensions, & Travel Documents
We ensure you remain in legal compliance while living, studying, or traveling to and from the United States:
-
Visitor Visas (B1/B2) and Student Visas (F-1).
-
Extensions of Status and Changes of Status.
-
Re-entry Permits and Refugee Travel Documents to prevent the accidental abandonment of your Lawful Permanent Resident status.
Protecting Your Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) Status
Securing your green card is a major milestone, but you must take proactive steps to maintain it. Your permanent resident status can be lost or ruled abandoned if you:
-
Remain outside the U.S. for too long without securing an official Re-entry Permit prior to your departure.
-
Commit certain legal offenses that result in criminal convictions, placing you at risk of being entered into removal proceedings.
-
Fail to properly remove conditions on a marriage-based green card within the mandatory 90-day window before it expires.
If you are facing any obstacles to your residency or citizenship, contact our firm immediately before speaking with immigration authorities.
