Many lawyers offer immigration and citizenship work as one of numerous areas of practice. I have concentrated exclusively on this complex, frequently changing area of the law for the past 30 years. Whether you seek an immigrant visa, a nonimmigrant visa, legal status for your employees your green card or a change in your status, my approach will include:

Meeting with you personally to define goals and the best available legal strategy, including exploring visa types you may not have considered responding directly to your legal questions and concerns, rather than passing you along to a paralegal or other non-lawyer
Making it a priority to attend your application hearing and any other immigration court appearances with you, and actively represent you at those proceedings

Almost all of my clients today come as referrals from clients I've represented effectively over the years. It is immensely gratifying to help the friends, business colleagues, associates, and children of my clients who have already achieved their goals of residency or citizenship.




Because even a perfectly executed bid for family visas, permanent residency or U.S. citizenship can take months or years, immigrating people appreciate stability in their lawyers. I have represented immigrating clients throughout New York and the United States from the same building for the past 25 years. My presence in the Hudson Valley is equally dependable. I meet clients in my office in New Paltz, where I have owned a working farm for the past 25 years breeding, training and selling horses.

At both offices, we maintain excellent technological capabilities. In fact, we adopted computer database technology in 1987, well before most other New York law firms. In both New York City and New Paltz, we can access all client records and perform required electronic submissions of the permanent labor certification (PERM) applications necessary for most visa applications.

When you contact the offices of Carol Wolfenson, you will encounter a personal approach to immigration law. In order to help you navigate the necessary processes, I must understand your background and what you hope to achieve. This is how I determine the best legal strategy and processes for you to achieve your immigration or naturalization goals.Type your paragraph here.
