Every immigration matter,handled with care.
We focus exclusively on U.S. immigration law. That focus lets us move faster, anticipate sharper objections, and deliver outcomes most general practitioners cannot. Below is a complete map of the work we do, every day, for clients across Arizona and around the world.
Family Immigration
Reuniting families is the heart of what we do.
From engaged couples separated by an ocean to lawful permanent residents bringing parents to retire in Arizona, family-based immigration is the most common — and most personal — work we handle.
Discuss Your Case- Marriage-based green cards (I-130 / I-485)
- K-1 fiancé(e) visas and consular processing
- Parent, sibling, and adult child petitions
- Removal of conditions (I-751)
- Adjustment of status interviews
- Affidavits of support (I-864) and joint sponsorship
Business & Investor Visas
Counsel for employers, professionals, and entrepreneurs.
Whether you're a startup making your first H-1B hire, a multinational transferring an executive, or an investor opening a U.S. office, we structure cases that meet USCIS standards on the first filing.
Discuss Your Case- H-1B specialty occupation petitions and lottery strategy
- L-1A / L-1B intracompany transferees and blanket L
- E-2 treaty investor and E-1 treaty trader visas
- EB-1 extraordinary ability and multinational manager
- EB-2 National Interest Waivers (NIW)
- EB-5 investor green cards and PERM labor certification
- O-1 visas for individuals of extraordinary ability
Naturalization & Citizenship
From green card to U.S. passport.
Becoming a U.S. citizen is the most consequential immigration decision most clients ever make. We make sure the application is bulletproof — including for clients with arrests, long absences, or complicated tax histories.
Discuss Your Case- N-400 application preparation and filing
- Citizenship interview and civics test prep
- Derivative and acquired citizenship analysis (N-600)
- Re-entry permits for green-card holders abroad
- Good moral character analysis and disclosures
- Oath ceremony scheduling and accommodations
Removal Defense
When the government tries to deport you, you need a trial lawyer.
Joyce regularly appears before the Phoenix Immigration Court. We fight removal at every stage — from the master calendar hearing to appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Ninth Circuit.
Discuss Your Case- Master calendar and individual merit hearings
- Cancellation of removal (LPR and non-LPR)
- Bond hearings and custody redeterminations
- Motions to reopen and reconsider
- Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
- Petitions for review at the Ninth Circuit
- Prosecutorial discretion and ICE check-ins
Asylum & Humanitarian Relief
Refuge for those who cannot safely return home.
We represent asylum seekers from across the world fleeing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group — including LGBTQ+ applicants and survivors of gender-based violence.
Discuss Your Case- Affirmative asylum (USCIS interview)
- Defensive asylum in immigration court
- Withholding of removal and CAT protection
- U-visas for victims of qualifying crimes
- T-visas for survivors of human trafficking
- VAWA self-petitions for abuse survivors
- DACA renewals and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status
Waivers & Appeals
Second chances, won by careful argument.
An inadmissibility finding doesn't have to be the end. We craft hardship records and legal arguments that have moved skeptical USCIS officers and immigration judges.
Discuss Your Case- I-601 waivers of inadmissibility (criminal, fraud, health)
- I-601A provisional unlawful presence waivers
- 212(h) waivers for criminal grounds
- 212(d)(3) nonimmigrant waivers
- Motions to reopen denied applications
- Federal court mandamus actions for delayed cases

Immigration law is vast and constantly changing. If your situation isn't listed above, the answer is almost always: yes, we handle it — or we know who does.
