H-1B and All Work Visas
Immigrants who graduate from university as well as inter-company transfers are just two of the many bases of work visas we handle. Contact us to review your work visa.

Perhaps the most common way to become a lawful resident, applying for residence through marrying a US citizen is often misunderstood by people who think it is an “easy” way to get a green card. Educate yourself by speaking to us today about the complex nature of this process and why hiring us may be the smartest move you make.
National Interest Waivers
Immigrants wishing to bypass PERM often have exceptional ability and do not require a sponsor. Harlan York and Associates has won many such cases by demonstrating that it is in the interest of the US to allow immigrants in this category to live here.
Orphans and Other Adoption Cases
US citizens who adopt a child from another country must ensure legal status is conferred upon their son or daughter. We are here to help you make this happen.

One of the most difficult areas in immigration law. Our office fights and wins asylum for immigrants fearful of return to their home countries due to persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, and social group.
Removal Cases
Since 1997, when Congress began calling deportation “removal,” the numbers of people returned to their countries has skyrocketed.

Call us if you are facing removal and we will do everything we can to find a solution before you are taken away from your loved ones.
