Law Office of Anna I. Garcia offers services in a variety of immigration-related areas in English, Spanish and Russian languages. We represent clients and their families in connection with the filings of applications and appeals and appear at the interviews and hearings regardless of where they live in the U.S. or any other country in the world. Since immigration law is federal law, the same rules are generally used whether a person lives in San Francisco or New York or applies for a visa at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy abroad. We are here to help you!

Immigration Removal (Deportation) Defense;

If you are placed in removal (deportation) proceedings or are caught at the border as an unaccompanied minor, we can represent you in any immigration court throughout the United States. If you lost your case before the immigration judge or failed to appear to your immigration court hearing, we can help you file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals or a motion to reopen.

Asylum and TPS: 

If you are afraid to return to your home country, we can help you file for asylum which allows you to stay in the United States legally. We represent clients in Asylum Offices and Immigration Courts and help them obtain work permit authorizations based on pending asylum applications. When you win your asylum case, you can petition for some of your relatives using Form I-730. One year after your asylum grant, you can apply for a green card. If you are from Ukraine, Burma (Myanmar), Venezuela, Syria, South Sudan, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Nicaragua, Nepal, Haiti, El Salvador, and Honduras and meet certain criteria, you might be eligible for a special Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which allows you to stay in the U.S. legally and receive work permit authorization.

U.S. Citizenship

Persons who are not born in the U.S. can become citizens in a number of ways, the most common being naturalization. Some individuals may be U.S. citizens and not even know it, for example, children under age 18 with naturalized parents.  Our office thoroughly investigates your family’s history and offers the fastest way to your and your family’s U.S. citizenship.

Victims of Crimes

U.S. immigration law is very generous with providing protection to victims of different crimes, abuse, violence, and neglect. For example, U-visa for victims of crime and T-visa for victims of human trafficking both can lead to a green card. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protects immigrants who suffered abuse at the hands of family members who are legal permanent residents and U.S. citizens. There are also special immigration programs that protect and assist abandoned, neglected, or abused children in obtaining legal status, such as Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. Learn More.

Other Immigration Cases

There are many reasons for those who wish to temporarily travel to the United States: study, business, tourism, medical treatment, humanitarian reasons, temporary employment, exchange programs, to name a few. If you or your relative is planning to temporarily travel to the United States or is seeking an extension or change of status regarding your current nonimmigrant visa, we can help prepare the necessary documentation.
