Our Immigration Services

We handle the full range of immigration matters for individuals, families, and employers. Family-based and employment-based visa petitions, green card applications, asylum, removal defense, appeals, and naturalization: if it touches immigration law, we handle it. 

When applications stall because of lengthy delays or erroneous denials, we can file appropriate actions in federal court to seek resolution. When families need a detained loved one released, we can apply for immigration bonds or file habeas corpus petitions in federal court. We also represent juveniles in state court custody and guardianship proceedings, including those that intersect with the Chester County Justice Center, to seek Special Immigrant Juvenile status in the U.S.

Below are more details about our offerings.

Employment-Based Immigration

We guide skilled professionals, investors, and employers through the full range of work visas and labor certifications. We represent hospitals and companies in obtaining H-1B visas for medical residents and alien worker visas, and we handle the labor certifications that those petitions require. 

Employers with foreign national employees working remotely or on hybrid schedules also turn to us for guidance on structuring those arrangements without running afoul of immigration law. 

Immigration Appeals

Both Michael S. Henry and Devin E. Grogan are admitted before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and we argue appeals at every level: before the Board of Immigration Appeals and in federal court. That appellate reach includes dismissals, reversals, and emergency stays of deportation obtained on behalf of clients. Devin has also secured emergency injunctions in federal court to halt deportations while cases are pending. 

Asylum

We represent asylum seekers in both affirmative applications before USCIS and defensive cases in immigration court. Asylum requires demonstrating a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. We prepare every aspect of your asylum case with care, from the initial application through any required hearings.

Family Immigration Law

Family reunification is central to what we do. We handle immediate relative petitions for spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, as well as preference category petitions for more distant relatives. USCIS interviews are a critical step in many family-based green card cases, and Devin has attended hundreds of those interviews alongside clients. 

Adjustment of Status

If you’re already in the U.S. on a temporary basis and an immigrant visa is available to you, adjustment of status lets you apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving for consular processing abroad. Eligibility depends on the basis of your underlying petition and your current immigration status. We can assess your situation, prepare your application, and guide you through the process of adjusting alien status.

Removal & Deportation Defense

Removal proceedings for Chester County residents are heard at the Philadelphia Immigration Court, and we represent clients there and at immigration courts nationwide. Defense strategies depend on the facts of your case: challenging the grounds for removal, seeking cancellation of removal, pursuing asylum or withholding, or securing voluntary departure. We build your defense from the ground up and stand beside you throughout. Learn more about our removal and deportation defense practice.

Temporary Protected Status

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is granted to nationals of countries designated by the U.S. government due to ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary conditions. TPS provides lawful temporary status and work authorization. We handle both initial TPS applications and renewals, guiding clients through eligibility requirements and documentation so the application is complete.

Bonds & Federal Relief

Chester County Prison in West Chester is a facility where individuals with immigration detainers may be held while their cases are pending. If a family member has been detained, prompt action matters. We can assist families in seeking release by applying for immigration bonds and, when a bond isn’t available through standard channels, by filing habeas corpus petitions in federal court. 

Criminal charges complicate these situations further: even a prior conviction can trigger removal proceedings for long-term residents, and we handle the intersection of criminal charges and immigration status. Individuals held on immigration detainers have the right to legal representation, and we’re ready to move quickly when the situation demands it.
