Inadmissibility Waivers
Aggressive representation in immigration matters: we represent families and businesses in petitioning for relatives or employees. We are currently handling numerous I-601 waiver cases for those deemed to be inadmissible.
Established in 2001, we are located at the Eastside Law Center building at Anaheim Street and Redondo Avenue in Long Beach. We have grown our practice each year for 10 years by personal attention to the needs and concerns of each client we represent. Our practice includes immigration-related corporation policy formulation, permanent residence and citizenship, visas for executives, managers, enterpreneurs, scientists, nurses, professionals, students and visitors; PERM labor certifications; employment-based immigrant visa petitions; consular practice; family-based immigration, inadmissibility waivers, and asylum.
The Law Office of Janis Peterson-Lord can offer you what large firms cannot: ongoing personal service. We also offer you our dedication, expertise, and success in the field of immigration law. We provide you with a full range of immigration services and thoughtful analysis for the best course of action based upon your circumstances. Our focus is on employment and business immigration, consular practice, waivers of inadmissibility, family immigration, naturalization, and all forms of non-immigrant visas. Your case will not be handled by a paralegal and you will have full access to the attorney during the entire process.
Our office has successfully completed cases for a large number of companies and workers with a concentration of work with hospitals, registered nurses, and other healthcare workers; with investors and trading companies, with musicians and other artists; with students, professors, researchers; engineers, programmers, other professionals; with religious workers including monks, evangelists, and ministers, and many other immigrants and non-immigrants.
Our offices located in Long Beach, California are in close proximity to those living or working in both Los Angeles County and Orange County. Some clients come to see us from as far away as the Inland Empire, San Jose, and even New York. Others around the world work with us via email, fax, and telephone conferencing. We prepare and represent visa applications going to all parts of the world, with many from Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, China, Nigeria, Mexico, Canada, Sweden, England, and we communicate on behalf of clients at U.S. Department of State Consular offices on every continent. When waivers of inadmissibility are required, we have expertise in the analysis and work very hard in the preparation required for success.
We work with families around the world to bring them together via fiancé and immigrant visa applications. Many of our clients are Cambodians who live in Long Beach who wish to petition relatives or fiances living in Cambodia.
At the Law Office of Janis Peterson-Lord, we are dedicated to offering the most complete and experienced immigration legal support for our clients. We offer you personal service, integrity, honesty and open communication. Contact us and let us consult with you and help you overcome immigration obstacles, so you can reach your goals and full potential. Please call or email our office to schedule an appointment for a free consultation.
