Call Shirazi Immigration Law for help with any immigration legal need in Georgia. Our office excels in helping people with pressing immigration matters in the following areas:
Family Immigration
We’ll help you obtain a visa for a fiancé(e) to travel to the U.S. for the purpose of marriage. We prepare and file alien relative petitions so you can have your spouse, minor and grown children, parents and siblings join you in America. We help with the full range of family immigration issues related to marriage, divorce, domestic violence and more.
Deportation Defense
Shirazi Immigration Law is your staunch advocate at bond hearings, and we’ll argue your case before the immigration judge, at BIA appeals and even in federal court. If you’re entitled to a waiver, if the judge or BIA made a mistake regarding the facts or law in your case, or if new evidence crops up that needs to be heard, rest assured we’ll take appropriate steps to defend your right to stay and cancel your removal.
Consular Cases & Waivers
If you are applying to immigrate from abroad, we have the information you need to know to present yourself to the U.S. consulate ready for your interview with a complete and accurate application. Our firm is ready to apply for waivers on your behalf if you would otherwise be inadmissible.
Refugee & Asylum
If you left your home country due to persecution or fear of persecution based on your race, religion, nationality, political persuasion or membership in a social group, we can help you apply for asylum or refugee status, whether you are in another country abroad, presenting yourself at the border, or already in the U.S. We seek asylum for people facing deportation in appropriate cases as well.
Non-Immigration Visas
If you intend to visit the U.S temporarily for schooling, business purposes, to seek medical treatment, or just for vacation, we can show you the right visa and what you need to know to get approved. Once here, we help eligible people apply for an adjustment of status to get a Green Card and live and work in the United States indefinitely.
Naturalization
One of the more gratifying parts of our job as Atlanta immigration attorneys is helping permanent residents make the transition to becoming U.S. citizens. We’ll help you with your application and let you know how to prepare for your interview and other required steps.
BIA & Federal Court litigation
From administrative proceedings to courtroom litigation and appeals in the federal circuit court in Atlanta, Shirazi Immigration Law has the skills and determination needed to advocate for you and represent you when your visa petition has been denied or you’ve received any other adverse decision or negative ruling regarding your immigration status. We have decades of experience fighting for people like you in similar situations.
Temporary Protected Status
Twelve different countries are currently designated for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and foreign nationals who fled those countries due to armed conflict, violence, natural disasters or other designated reasons are welcome to settle here and start a new life. We’ll help you find your haven here and work toward a more permanent solution if conditions make it unsafe to return.
Immigration for Crime Victims
Not everyone comes to America voluntarily or for the reasons they thought. Some are tricked, forced or abducted, and forced to work under slave-like conditions in the sex trade or under forced labor, debt bondage or involuntary servitude. We help victims of human trafficking and other crime victims separate themselves from their abusers and make a new life in safety and security.
