Immigration Attorney — Shapiro Freitas
Behind every immigration case is a family. A spouse waiting for a visa. A parent working toward citizenship. A child whose status determines whether a household stays together. The stakes are high, and the rules — federal, technical, and constantly shifting — leave little room for error. At Shapiro Freitas, we represent individuals and families in matters before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the immigration courts, and the federal courts.
Why Immigration Counsel Matters
Immigration law is one of the most procedurally demanding areas of federal practice. Processing times change. Agency priorities shift with each administration. A single answer on a form, or a single deadline missed, can result in years of delay or denial. The right strategy for one applicant may be entirely wrong for another, and small differences in circumstances can lead to different recommended paths.
Immigration Matters We Handle
Our immigration practice addresses a wide range of family, humanitarian, and employment-based matters, including:
- Family-based green card petitions for spouses, parents, children, and siblings
- Fiancé(e) visas (K-1) and spousal visas (CR-1, IR-1)
- Adjustment of status applications for those already in the United States
- Naturalization and U.S. citizenship applications (Form N-400)
- Removal and deportation defense before the immigration courts
- Asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture claims
- Temporary Protected Status (TPS) registrations and renewals
- DACA renewals and related youth-status matters
- U visas for victims of qualifying crimes
- T visas for survivors of human trafficking
- VAWA self-petitions for survivors of domestic abuse
- Waivers of inadmissibility (Forms I-601, I-601A, I-212)
- Employment-based visas, including H-1B, L-1, O-1, and EB green cards
- Consular processing and interview preparation
Every case begins with a careful review of the client’s complete immigration history, because what appears to be a simple application can have consequences that affect status for years.
How Shapiro Freitas Approaches Immigration Cases
We monitor policy developments closely so the strategy we recommend reflects how the system operates today rather than how it worked when the case file was opened. When an application is denied or returned for more evidence, we respond quickly — because in immigration practice, delay is rarely on the applicant’s side.
