Our offices are located in downtown San Francisco and Contra Costa County, California, to serve your needs. Our firm is experienced in immigration law, as well as issues that involve immigrants, long-term residents, and citizens. Specifically, the sub-prime crisis has created a need for information on bankruptcy and preventing foreclosure. Our blog, kathleenlord.blogspot.com discusses relevant and changing issues affecting recent immigrants as well as citizens in the current economic downturn.

We offer assistance to U.S. employers who need work visas for foreign professionals (H-1B, H-2B, L-1, J-1, O, TN), as well as B visas for visitors and E visas for investors and foreign entrepreneurs. We represent health care providers that are in need of nurses, as well as companies that need IT professionals. Our clientele includes families seeking to obtain permanent residency for spouses, parents, siblings, children, and fiancés either here in the U.S. or at U.S. Consulates and Embassies abroad, many of whom have successfully obtained waivers to inadmissibility through our office. We also offer citizenship and naturalization services, as well as deportation defense for non-citizens convicted of certain crimes. The latest immigration forms as well as information on processing times for family petitions (form I-130), fiancé petitions (form I-129F), applications to change or extend status (form I-539), permanent green card through marriage (form I-751), employment authorization (form I-765), naturalization and citizenship (form N-400), and temporary work visas (form I-129) are linked from this page, along with processing times for consular processing at U.S. embassies abroad (the visa bulletin).
