Experienced Immigration Representation Nationwide

The attorneys at Schaffer Herring PLLC are dedicated to guiding clients through the complexities of U.S. immigration law. With a deep understanding of the challenges and nuances involved, we offer comprehensive legal support for a wide range of family-based immigration related issues.

We represent clients nationwide, with a focus on Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. Our team provides strategic, individualized family-based immigration counsel to help families reunite, adjust status, pursue citizenship, and respond to legal and procedural immigration challenges.

Family-Based Immigration Services We Offer

• Sponsorship and Family Petitions: We help U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents petition for qualifying family members. This includes spouses, children, parents, and siblings.
• Fiancé(e) Visas (K-1): Our team assists engaged couples with the K-1 visa process. We also guide clients through status adjustments after marriage.
• Military Family Immigration Benefits: We offer dedicated support for military families seeking immigration relief. This includes both active-duty members and veterans.
• FOIA Requests (Immigration and Criminal Records): We file FOIA requests to obtain your immigration or criminal records from USCIS, ICE, CBP, EOIR, or other agencies. These records are often critical when preparing applications, waivers, or appeals.

Green Card and Status Adjustment

• Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing: Whether you are applying from inside the U.S. or abroad, we help you pursue lawful permanent residence.
• Removal of Conditions (Form I-751): We represent clients who need to remove conditions on their two-year green cards. This often applies to marriage-based residency.
• Waivers of Inadmissibility: Some clients face immigration barriers due to prior violations or other issues. We prepare and submit hardship waivers to help them move forward.

Citizenship and Protection

• Naturalization and Citizenship: We assist permanent residents with naturalization. We also advise individuals who may already qualify for citizenship through a parent or grandparent.
• VAWA Petitions: If you are a survivor of abuse by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you may qualify for protection under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We can help you file a self-petition safely and confidentially.
• U Visas for Crime Victims: Victims of qualifying crimes who assist law enforcement may be eligible for a U visa. We guide clients through this process step by step.
• T Visas for Victims of Human Trafficking:
  We assist individuals who have been victims of human trafficking in applying for T visas. These visas offer protection from removal, work authorization, and a path to permanent residency for eligible applicants and certain family members.
• Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS):
  We help certain undocumented children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected apply for SIJS. This status can offer a path to lawful permanent residency while protecting the child from deportation.

Court Representation and Appeals

• Immigration Court Representation: We represent clients in bond hearings, removal proceedings, cancellation of removal, and asylum hearings.
• Immigration Court Appeals (BIA Appeals): We assist clients in filing appeals with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) after a denial by an immigration judge. Our services include reviewing your case, identifying legal errors, and preparing written briefs.
• Appeals and Mandamus Actions: If your case has been denied or delayed, we can file appeals or federal lawsuits. These actions are used when administrative solutions are no longer effective.

Immigration law is complex and fast-changing. It’s also deeply personal. At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we take time to understand your background, explain your options, and create a strategy tailored to your needs.

Whether you are sponsoring a family member or facing court proceedings, we’re here to help.
