Immigration: citizenship, green cards, waivers and Immigration Court
Citizenship, deportation, green cards, waivers and nonimmigrant visas, before USCIS, ICE, CBP and Immigration Court, with direct access to your immigration lawyer.
Chapter 01
Where an immigration matter slips
Immigration cases rarely fail on the big question. They slip on the small ones: a form filed under the wrong category, an address change that never reached the agency, a notice that looked routine and was set aside. The work covers citizenship, green cards, waivers and nonimmigrant visas, and it covers the harder side too, deportation, where the room is Immigration Court and the question is a person's place in the country.
Each agency keeps its own habits. USCIS, ICE and CBP do not ask for the same things in the same way, and what satisfies one can leave a gap at another. A waiver request that is thin on the facts, or an application that does not match the record the agency already holds, is where a case that should hold together starts to come apart.
A criminal charge or a traffic citation can also carry consequences for status that nobody mentions at the arraignment. That is a question to put to a lawyer before the plea, not after it.

One lawyer who has your file
The firm's immigration practice rests on a promise from its own pages: direct access to your immigration lawyer. When a question comes up about a filing, a hearing date or a letter from an agency, you ask the lawyer who is handling it, not whoever answers first.
The work runs before USCIS, ICE, CBP and Immigration Court, so a client whose situation moves from an application to a hearing does not have to change firms in the middle. Cornerstone Law Group, PLLC has been a general practice firm since as early as 1978, and its Fairfax, Arlington and Leesburg offices in Northern Virginia stand alongside the Fredericksburg headquarters.

What to bring, and what happens next
Bring what you have, even if it is incomplete: passports and travel documents, anything you have received from USCIS, ICE or CBP, any court notice, and the names and dates of earlier filings. If a letter arrived and you are not sure what it means, bring the envelope too.
The first conversation is a free consultation. Call (540) 898-8881 to set it up. The lawyer will ask where the matter stands, which agency or court is involved and what you are trying to reach, then explain what the next step looks like.
