Your USCIS case has been stalled for one, two, or three years. What should you do?

You check the status and submit an inquiry. You receive the standard response: "Your case is under review." So, you wait again. But there comes a time when, instead of sending yet another inquiry to USCIS, you need to determine if there are grounds to file a lawsuit in federal court. In my 18 years of practice as an immigration attorney, I have handled cases where the Writ of Mandamus proved to be the best strategy. read moreYour USCIS case has been stalled for one, two, or three years.

Your I-751 to remove the conditions on your green card has been pending for two years. Does that mean you have to wait to apply for citizenship?

Not necessarily! This is something I regularly see in my 18 years of practicing immigration law: someone gets a conditional green card through marriage, files Form I-751 on time to remove the conditions, and then USCIS takes years to make a decision. read moreYour I-751 to remove the conditions on your green card has been pending for two years.

My philosophy

Irina Lust always seeks the best and fastest way to help you and your family immigrate to the United States, relying on her 18 years of experience.

Our collaboration begins with an analysis of each client’s specific situation to determine the feasibility of their immigration goals. This assessment considers the immigration laws of the relevant jurisdiction, the client’s profession, education, financial circumstances, family composition and other important factors.

I provide an honest assessment of each potential client’s immigration prospects and decline to take a case if I believe the goals are unrealistic. I not only provide information and explain the laws and regulations, but also offer alternative, more realistic solutions.

The policy of my firm is based on absolutely unwavering principles:

I tell my clients the truth and nothing but the truth. I do not minimize risks, but I do not exaggerate the expected amount of work.

I value my clients’ trust, understanding that they are paying for real work, not the appearance of it. I do not avoid regular communication with clients; on the contrary, I welcome it. I simply hope that clients will not abuse my willingness to discuss professional questions.

From the very beginning, I have rejected the idea of attracting clients at any cost. I am ready to represent clients only in cases that are genuinely achievable. They may be hard, but they must still have a reasonable likelihood of success.

I strive to understand each client’s priorities – whether it is starting a business, finding employment, pursuing education for themselves or their children, obtaining healthcare, seeking protection from persecution in their home country, and so on.

I work only with reputable and thoroughly vetted law firms when collaborating on immigration services in other countries, including Canada, the Caribbean nations, the United Kingdom, the EU, Australia, and various countries in Asia.
