Understanding the immigration bureaucracy
The U.S. immigration system comprises a complex web of intricate laws and vast bureaucratic agencies, each
with its own rules, regulations and policies. We maneuver comfortably through the red tape to bring you the best possible outcomes when dealing with:
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
U.S. Border Patrol (CBP)
Federal court
Department of Labor (DOL)
Worldwide U.S. consulates and embassies
Immigration Court
Immigration Detention facilities
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE)
Applying for a visa
Applying for a visa is more complicated than just sending forms to the USCIS. The U.S. government places strict requirements on qualifications, and it outlines inflexible procedures for filing. Mistakes on your application can lead to crucial delays and possibly a denial of the visa. Each type of visa comes with its own set of essential criteria, which must precisely match your qualifications. We discuss your short-term and ultimate immigration goals to set up a long-range plan. We thoroughly analyze your situation to choose the appropriate pathway, and we meticulously gather evidence that supports each element of your eligibility. We anticipate complications and troubleshoot before problems occur.

Constantly changing immigration laws
Immigration policy is under constant debate, and the laws are frequently modified. Also, the various government agencies that administer immigration regulations regularly update their procedures, forms and guidelines. At the Law Offices of Bella Reyes, we stay current on the shifts in immigration law, and we stay updated on changes in the pipeline. To successfully advise you, we consider not only the laws as they exist but also the possibility of beneficial and harmful reforms. Fastidious and dedicated, we relentlessly pursue your case and develop unique solutions in complicated situations.
