Immigration Attorney Serving Takoma Park, MD

Takoma Park's character — long-tenured progressive politics, a designated sanctuary city since 1985, and an immigrant population that spans Ethiopian, Eritrean, Caribbean, Central American, and South Asian communities — gives us a distinctive caseload. We handle asylum for Eritrean and Ethiopian clients, TPS for Salvadoran and Honduran clients, U-visa and VAWA filings for survivors of crime and abuse, and cancellation of removal where ICE has filed a Notice to Appear. For Takoma Park clients placed in removal proceedings at the Baltimore Immigration Court, we coordinate prosecutorial-discretion requests, motions to reopen long-closed cases, and the parallel I-130 or VAWA filing that often runs alongside cancellation cases.

Takoma Park is also a Washington Adventist University town and is home to a steady population of academic and healthcare professionals. We handle H-1B and H-1B cap-exempt filings, EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petitions for researchers and physicians, and family-based filings for spouses, parents, and siblings. For DACA recipients in Takoma Park, we work on advance parole, on adjustment through marriage, and on parallel green-card paths where the recipient's professional record now supports a self-petition. For Adventist HealthCare-system physicians completing residency or fellowship, we file Conrad 30 and HHS J-1 waivers and coordinate the H-1B cap-exempt placement that follows.

Takoma Park's sanctuary-city status does not insulate residents from ICE enforcement, and we handle the parallel work that comes with that reality — bond requests at the Baltimore Immigration Court, custody redeterminations at the Caroline Detention Facility, habeas petitions in the District of Maryland where prolonged detention crosses constitutional thresholds, and the related family-based and humanitarian filings that often run alongside. For Takoma Park clients whose family members are abroad and waiting for an immigrant visa interview, we coordinate the National Visa Center documentary stage, the consular processing through the relevant high-volume posts, and the affidavit-of-support package so a consular officer has no reason to question the financial showing. We serve Takoma Park and the surrounding communities of Silver Spring, Hyattsville, Wheaton, and College Park.
