Immigration Counsel · Great Falls, Virginia
Immigration Attorney Serving Great Falls, VA
Great Falls sits along the Potomac at the western edge of Fairfax County, and its residents tend to be senior professionals — partners at DC-area law and consulting firms, finance and tech executives, physicians, and a meaningful population of clients whose primary residence is here but whose business interests are international. Our Great Falls practice reflects that. We handle EB-1A, EB-1C, EB-2 NIW, and L-1A executive-transfer filings for these clients, EB-5 investor filings where the investment supports it, and the consular processing or adjustment of status that follows. For clients whose worldwide income and asset base sit across multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate the immigration filing with tax, trust, and estate counsel so a single adjustment-of-status filing does not create unintended tax consequences.
For Great Falls families with international holdings, we coordinate carefully with tax and trust counsel — the source-of-funds documentation in an EB-5 or a covered-expatriation analysis on the exit side both depend on a clean record across years of filings. We are comfortable working alongside accountants and wealth advisors so the immigration filing supports rather than complicates the broader plan. For EB-5 investors choosing between direct and regional center options under the Reform and Integrity Act, we run the rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure set-aside math carefully so the priority date and the eventual I-829 path both work in favor of the family.
On the family side, Great Falls clients come to us for marriage-based green cards, K-1 fiancé visas, I-130 petitions for parents, and N-400 naturalization. For clients with significant time abroad — extended postings, second residences, or international school commitments — we plan the N-400 filing window around the actual physical-presence record rather than the calendar date, and we file N-470 preservation-of-residence applications where the qualifying employer relationship supports it. For Great Falls clients with adult children abroad, we file F-3 and F-4 petitions and counsel candidly about the multi-year wait that comes with those preference categories. We serve Great Falls and the surrounding communities of McLean, Reston, Tysons Corner, and Herndon.
