Consular Processing

Consular processing is the procedure of applying for an immigrant visa (green card) through a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in a foreign country. We have extensive experience in filing consular processing cases, including filing such cases with inadmissibility waivers, resulting from the immigrants’ past criminal issues or prior immigration violations.

We additionally assist our clients with consular processing of employment-based immigration cases, as well as the preparation and filing of the inadmissibility waivers when required.

We also assist our clients with the following:

Preparation and Filing of NVC and Consular Processing Applications
Preparation for Interview at the Consular Posts
Preparation for Arrival to the USA and Inspections at Ports of Entry

Phenomenal Attorney

Posted by Kristoffer

“Olsa did an exceptional job representing me, along with her team. Before hiring her, I had seen some other attorneys who, weren’t much help or no help at all, after discussing my situation. But Olsa had other things in mind and was able to deliver above and beyond expectations! My immigration status has been restored!”

Olsa and the Team were Incredible

Posted by Nikash

“Olsa and her team did an incredible job with my immigration case. They used their connections and expertise to not only get my case dismissed, but also get me out of the detention center much faster than anticipated. They reviewed all aspects of my case and thoroughly explained all of my options and outcomes moving forward. Olsa herself took the time and care in my case as if it were her family. She was truly concerned about me and my family’s well-being and treated us with a very personal touch. I would not hesitate to recommend Olsa to anybody I came across in a similar situation. Quite simply this is by far the best experience I’ve had in dealing with any lawyers and/or court case.”

“My citizenship case would require tactful and precise decisions, I needed to find the right lawyer that could help me navigate today”s volatile political environment when things can change with the stroke of a pen. I didn’t need someone that would simply help me fill out forms but, someone that could advise me throughout the entire process. The first time I met Olsa, we began discussing my case. She asked all the right questions and finally provided me with the next step forward. That was the entire process, a series of discussions and steps, the right steps. At no point did I feel rushed or felt that there was no end in sight. I always felt she had a full understanding of my case and it is with total confidence that I can say that she provided me and my family with peace of mind. Olsa may never see the result of her actions and I am not speaking about me becoming an American citizen which I did and very proud of it. The result I am referring to is how my family, my career, my friends and everyone I know somehow will be affected. Not only did she assist me with one of the most important issues in my life but, one that could have had a major impact in my family if it had not turned out how we had hoped. She may never know how on many, many sleepless nights I laid in bed staring at the ceiling worried and questioning if I made the right decision to pursue my citizenship. Especially after watching the news and all the animosity towards immigrants. The one thing that always put me at ease was knowing that I had a team of professionals on my case headed by one of the best in the field, Olsa Alikaj-Cano.

On behalf of all my family and friends and especially me, thank you for all your assistance and commitment you have provided to my case. You have helped me achieve one of my greatest dreams and I do believe could have not been done without you. My sincere thank you and may you always be able to pursue your passion and continue to help others.”
Your friend always,

“Habla Espanol!! We hired Olsa to handle my father’s immigration case in 2016. We are now in 2019 and I am so happy to say that my father will be able to keep his green card and the nightmare is over!! This couldn’t have happened without Olsa leading his case. If you are in need of an immigration attorney that is approachable, knowledgeable and reliable, consider hiring Olsa. She was always there when we had a question or concern, never gave us the run around. She always filed and submitted his paperwork ahead of time….very reliable! Thank
you, Olsa and your team for your hard work!!

A little insight on my father’s case: My father was convicted of a crime back in 1995 while a legal resident. He completed his probation and paid the fees. We thought that was the end of that but in 2016 ICE came to detain my father in regards to that specific case, a case that was well over 20 years ago. A case that had been closed, or so we thought it was. We hired Olsa the following day and she got to work on the case right away. My dad was granted bond and we started meeting with Olsa. She was very knowledgeable and compassionate. Olsa has given us back our peace of mind. Again, thank you!!!”
