Immigration Attorney Serving Greenbelt, MD

Greenbelt's character — built around the New Deal-era planned community and the Goddard Space Flight Center — gives us a distinctive caseload. Our Greenbelt clients include NASA Goddard scientists and engineers, federal employees at the nearby Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, and an immigrant population that includes substantial Cameroonian, Nigerian, and Caribbean communities along the broader Greenbelt and Beltsville corridor. For Goddard-affiliated researchers whose work involves cross-agency collaboration, we file EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petitions on the publication, mission-contribution, and original-research record that USCIS adjudicators credit most heavily.

We handle EB-1A and EB-2 NIW self-petitions for the scientists at Goddard and for the broader NASA and federal-contractor workforce, H-1B and EB-2 PERM filings for those on employer-sponsored paths, and family-based filings for spouses, parents, and siblings. For the African and Caribbean families, we handle marriage-based adjustment, K-1 fiancé visas, I-130 petitions for parents and siblings, I-751 conditional-residency filings, and N-400 naturalization. For Greenbelt clients employed at Beltsville Agricultural Research Center on J-1 exchange visitor status, we build the IGA waiver request with the kind of agency-sponsor coordination that the Department of State expects.

Greenbelt's Cameroonian, Nigerian, and Ghanaian communities give us a meaningful asylum and humanitarian caseload, and we handle those filings carefully with the kind of country-conditions documentation USCIS and the Arlington Asylum Office now expect. For Greenbelt clients placed in removal proceedings at the Baltimore Immigration Court, we handle cancellation of removal, prosecutorial-discretion requests, and motions to reopen long-closed cases where new evidence supports relief. For Greenbelt's Caribbean community whose family members are abroad and waiting for an immigrant visa interview, we coordinate the National Visa Center documentary stage and the consular processing through Kingston, Port-of-Spain, Bridgetown, and other relevant posts. For mixed-status households along the Greenbelt Road and Kenilworth Avenue corridors, we file I-601A provisional waivers and time the consular interview so the family is not separated longer than necessary. We serve Greenbelt and the surrounding communities of College Park, Hyattsville, Bowie, and Laurel.
