K & G Immigration Law

With offices across California and one in Nevada, K & G Immigration Law takes on matters for individuals, families, professionals and businesses. It also serves clients from abroad through virtual consultations. The firm has practiced since 1989 and says its lawyers and paralegals speak several languages, which it considers important for clear communication with clients.

Family-based immigration and marriage visas

Family cases cover sponsoring a relative for a long-term visa and permanent residence. The firm lists marriage to a US citizen, fiancé(e) visas for those engaged to a citizen, spousal and other family sponsorships, and the process of preparing paperwork for an interview at a US consulate abroad. Where a relative needs only a short visit, the firm can prepare a visitor visa application instead. For those already in the United States, the firm handles the green card application through each step, from the initial forms to the interview and any appeal.

Work visas and employment-based green cards

For foreign professionals, the firm works with employment-based immigrant visas and work permits in fields such as science, high technology, engineering, teaching, and skilled trades, and for people with extraordinary ability in the arts and athletics. Its list includes the H-1B, O, TN, R and P nonimmigrant categories, the EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant routes, and labor certification, through which a noncitizen who is legally employed can seek a green card. The firm also lists PERM labor certification among its services.

Business and investment routes

Business clients can use the L-1A and L-1B intracompany transfer visas, for executives, managers and employees with specialized knowledge, and the firm describes its help with compliance for employers, including I-9 checks. It also assists with incorporation in California and with setting up the US branch of a company based abroad. Investment-based immigration is a separate practice area, covering cases built on investment routes.

Asylum, removal and deportation defense

The firm represents asylum seekers, including applications based on persecution for reasons such as race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Its deportation defense work covers removal proceedings, cancellation of removal and adjustment of status, and appeals. The firm says it has represented clients before the immigration court, and before the government agencies that take part in removal cases. It also advises people who have fallen out of status, including those with expired visas, on short-term options such as temporary protected status or renewal, and on longer-term routes to a green card.

Special categories and naturalization

Other areas include the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the Violence Against Women Act, Special Immigrant Juvenile status, temporary protected status, and expungement or dismissal of certain state criminal records for people who have been convicted. Naturalization work covers the N-400 application, the interview and any complications that arise in the process. The firm describes the process as lengthy and complex, with a civics and English test and an oath of allegiance at the end.

Consultations in person and online

Clients can visit one of the firm's California offices or consult by video or telephone from anywhere, during business hours, with an appointment for every type of consultation. The firm presents the online option as a way for overseas clients and busy people to reach its attorneys.
