Every year, individuals and families make the decision to leave their homelands to come to the United States. People come to the U.S. for education, business and work opportunities, to join the family from whom they have been separated, or to escape war and persecution. They want to make a brand new start in the country known around the world as the “land of opportunity.”

If you or a family member is interested in living in the United States, you may need someone who can help you understand U.S. immigration laws and who can help you apply for legal status.
