IMMIGRATION CONSULTATIONS • STRATEGY • NEXT STEPS
Schedule an Immigration Consultation
An immigration consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your goals, understand potential options, identify issues that may affect your case, and determine whether Empire Immigration Law, PLLC is the right firm to help you move forward.
What to Expect During a Consultation
During the consultation, we will discuss your immigration goals, review the facts that may affect your options, and identify possible next steps. The purpose is to give you a clearer understanding of the legal issues involved and the type of strategy that may be needed.
A consultation is not a generic intake call. It is an opportunity to speak with an immigration attorney about your situation, ask questions, and determine whether legal representation may be appropriate.
Who This Consultation Is For
Professionals
For individuals exploring U.S. work visas, employment-based green cards, TN status, or long-term immigration options.
Businesses and Employers
For employers, HR teams, and business owners seeking guidance on hiring foreign national workers or planning immigration strategy.
Canadian and Cross-Border Clients
For Canadian professionals, Ontario residents, Greater Toronto Area businesses, and U.S. employers hiring Canadian workers.
Families
For individuals seeking help with family petitions, marriage-based green cards, adjustment of status, or consular processing.
Citizenship Applicants
For lawful permanent residents preparing for naturalization or concerned about travel, tax, criminal history, or eligibility issues.
Complex Immigration Matters
For clients facing immigration history concerns, humanitarian matters, removal proceedings, or other issues requiring careful review.
What We Can Discuss
Depending on your situation, a consultation may involve reviewing available immigration options, identifying potential risks, discussing timing, evaluating documentation, and determining whether your case may require a more detailed legal strategy.
Common topics include work visas, TN status for Canadian professionals, employer-supported immigration, family-based immigration, green cards, naturalization, consular processing, admissibility concerns, prior immigration history, and next steps after a denial or request for evidence.
How to Prepare for Your Consultation
You do not need to have every document ready before speaking with us, but it is helpful to gather the information most relevant to your situation.
Before your consultation, consider preparing:
• A brief summary of your immigration goals
• Your current immigration status, if applicable
• Key dates, including entries, departures, filings, approvals, denials, or court dates
• Copies of important immigration notices or prior filings
• Passport, visa, green card, work authorization, or I-94 information, if relevant
• Employment offer details or employer information, if the matter involves work authorization
• Marriage, family, or civil documents, if the matter involves a family case
• Any criminal, tax, travel, or prior immigration issues that may affect eligibility
If you are not sure what matters, that is okay. The consultation can help identify which facts and documents may be important.
