Immigration Counsel · Manhattan, New York
Immigration Attorney Serving Manhattan, NY
Manhattan is the densest concentration of immigration matters in the country, and our firm represents clients across the borough — from financiers at the major Midtown banks and law firms, to physicians at NewYork-Presbyterian, Mount Sinai, and NYU Langone, to founders building startups in the Flatiron, NoMad, and SoHo corridors. We are a national U.S. immigration practice that works with Manhattan clients remotely, with secure document exchange, e-signature, and video consultations that fit a workday packed with meetings, rounds, or trading hours. The Manhattan caseload skews heavily toward EB-1A and EB-2 NIW self-petitions for researchers, traders, and creatives whose record can stand on its own, alongside O-1A and O-1B petitions for entertainers, fashion designers, and arts professionals whose credentials live in reviews, press, and box-office numbers rather than peer-reviewed citations.
We also handle the full range of employer-sponsored work in Manhattan — H-1B transfers and extensions for tech, finance, and consulting hires; L-1A and L-1B intracompany transferees moving into Manhattan offices from London, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, and Mumbai; and EB-2 and EB-3 PERM filings for clients whose record needs the labor-certification path. For executives and managers at multinationals headquartered in Manhattan, EB-1C is often the most efficient green-card route, and we structure those petitions so the qualifying year abroad and the managerial duties on both sides of the move are documented to USCIS's evolving standards.
Manhattan families come to us for marriage-based green cards, I-751 conditional-residency removals, I-130 petitions for parents and siblings, naturalization, K-1 fiancé petitions, and humanitarian filings including asylum, VAWA, U-visa, and T-visa relief. We coordinate consular processing through high-volume posts and time advance parole and AP-based travel so a single trip abroad does not derail a pending case. We serve clients across Manhattan including Midtown, Lower Manhattan, Harlem, and Washington Heights, and across the East River into Brooklyn and Queens. Whether the matter is a self-petitioned green card built on a record of research, art, business, or athletics, an employer-sponsored case that requires tight coordination with HR and counsel, a family reunification petition filed alongside consular processing, or a humanitarian or removal-defense matter where the stakes are measured in years and in family separation, we approach every Manhattan case with the documentation discipline, candor about timelines, and responsiveness that immigration matters deserve.
