Where to Start - (United States Immigration)

In order to live or work in the United States, a non-citizen must first obtain a visa for that purpose under a specific category. Visas are granted for a number of different reasons and time periods based on a variety of qualifications. If you are not sure what visa category might be right for your specific circumstances and goals, you may want to begin by taking a look at the U.S. Department of State's Visa Wizard.

This tool collects some basic information about you and will provide you with some initial guidance about what visa options may be available to you. We recommend that you use the results from the Visa Wizard to schedule a consultation to discuss your visa options in more detail with us.

If you have an immigration issue or concern with which you would like assistance, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. The consultation serves as an opportunity for you to ask questions and for the attorney to review the specific facts of your situation in order to provide you with guidance about your options and next steps.

We routinely offer consultations in-person at our office in downtown Blaine or over the phone. You may request a consultation regarding a matter of U.S. immigration by contacting our office or by completing our consultation request form.

Where to Start - (Canada Immigration)

Do you want to work, study, visit, travel through or live permanently in Canada?

Answer a few questions to find out what immigration programs you can apply for. Each immigration program has different application and eligibility requirements. You will need about 10-15 minutes to complete the form.

You may be asked questions about your nationality, age, language ability, family members, education, work experience, income and/or net worth, details on any job offer. Based on your answers, the wizard will tell you what programs you may be eligible for, so be as accurate as you can.
