Your Path to the United States Begins with the Right Legal Strategy

There are multiple lawful pathways to immigrate to the United States, including extraordinary ability and employment-based visas, family-based immigration, investor visas, and asylum. Each pathway has unique requirements, risks, and timelines. Under the leadership of Ergul Celiksoy, we analyze your current status, professional background, and long-term goals to establish a legally sustainable and realistic immigration strategy.

A Green Card provides permanent residence and unrestricted employment authorization in the United States. Green Card holders may also apply for U.S. citizenship in the long term. Applications may be filed through family-based, employment-based (EB categories), extraordinary ability, or special circumstances. Eligibility is evaluated based on education, profession, achievements, and immigration history.

EB-1A is one of the strongest Green Card categories for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in science, arts, academia, sports, or business. Publications, awards, selective memberships, leadership roles, media coverage, and field impact are evaluated collectively. Due to high standards, a thorough pre-analysis is essential.

The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is designed for professionals who carry out work that contributes to the national interests of the United States. The most significant advantage of this category is that it does not require a job offer or employer sponsorship. It represents a strong Green Card pathway for academics, engineers, physicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, and advanced professionals. However, NIW is a category with a high risk of denial if the legal arguments are not properly structured.

Yes. The H-1B visa requires a formal job offer and sponsorship from a licensed U.S. employer. The position must qualify as a "specialty occupation," the candidate's education and experience must be suitable for the role, and the employer's legal obligations are carefully reviewed. H-1B applications must also be planned carefully due to annual quota (cap) limits and timing considerations.

O-1A is a temporary work visa for individuals with extraordinary ability. EB-1A, on the other hand, provides direct permanent residence (a Green Card). While O-1A offers a short-term solution, EB-1A is more suitable for those seeking long-term settlement. In some cases, O-1A can also be used strategically as an interim step toward EB-1A or EB-2 NIW.

Processing times vary depending on the category applied for, the service center handling the case, and the workload of USCIS. Some applications may be completed within a few months, while certain Green Card processes can take over a year. Expedited options such as premium processing may be available. We provide a realistic and transparent timeline tailored to your case.

A denial does not mean the end of the process. By carefully analyzing the reasons for denial, the following options may be considered: re-filing the application, filing an appeal, or submitting a motion to reopen or reconsider. With the right strategy, many denied cases can be strengthened and successfully resubmitted.

Asylum applications in the U.S. must generally be filed within one year of the date of entry. The application must be based on a well-founded fear of persecution and supported by consistent statements and strong evidence. Legal representation is crucial in asylum cases to reduce the risk of misstatements and to manage the process properly.

Your case will be handled directly under attorney supervision. At every stage of your application, the following will be communicated to you in a transparent manner: status updates, document requests, and official notices. Our goal is to manage the process in a clear, controlled manner, free from uncertainty.
