Immigration Counsel · Sterling, Virginia
Immigration Attorney Serving Sterling, VA
Sterling along the Route 28 and Route 7 corridors has long been a working-class and middle-class community with a strong Salvadoran, Honduran, and Guatemalan presence, alongside the South Asian and East Asian populations that have grown along with the Dulles tech corridor. Our Sterling practice handles both sides of that demographic. For technical professionals at the Dulles-area employers, we file H-1B, H-1B amendment, EB-2 PERM, EB-2 NIW, and EB-1A petitions. For Central American clients, we handle TPS re-registration, U-visa and VAWA filings, asylum, and cancellation of removal. For Sterling clients whose family members are detained at the Caroline Detention Facility or other regional ICE facilities, we coordinate bond requests, custody redeterminations, and merits hearings.
Sterling families come to us for marriage-based adjustment, K-1 fiancé visas, I-130 petitions for parents and siblings, I-751 conditional-residency filings, and N-400 naturalization. For clients who entered without inspection and have a U.S. citizen spouse or parent, we file I-601A provisional waivers and coordinate consular processing through San Salvador, Tegucigalpa, Guatemala City, Ciudad Juárez, and other relevant posts. For Sterling clients with prior removal orders or unlawful-presence triggers, we run a careful inadmissibility analysis, file I-212 permission-to-reapply requests where they are needed, and coordinate the I-601 extreme-hardship filing in parallel where one of the qualifying-relative grounds applies.
Sterling's South Asian community gives us a substantial corporate caseload, and we handle H-1B transfers, H-4 EAD filings, and concurrent EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petitions for clients whose EB-2 India and EB-3 India priority dates remain years out. For Sterling founders building companies along the Route 28 corridor, we file E-2, L-1A new-office, EB-1C, and International Entrepreneur Parole petitions. For Sterling's growing Afghan, Iranian, and Pakistani populations, we handle asylum, SIV adjudication, and family reunification work. We serve Sterling and the surrounding communities of Ashburn, Herndon, Reston, and Chantilly, and our attorneys work in English and Spanish so language is not a barrier to a thorough consultation.
