Employment-Based Immigration

Not knowing or understanding the system and laws of the U.S. can be a disadvantage for many foreign immigrants who wish to obtain permanent residency in the United States, either for themselves or for their loved ones. Hykel Law’s Family-Based Immigration Services can lead you through the complicated process to achieve either temporary or permanent residency, depending on your situation.

Immigration to the United States has always played a major role in the strength of its economy. America was built by welcoming the best, the brightest and the most energetic people to build our nation up from within. Perhaps no one understands this....

Becoming a U.S. Citizen, by birth or by taking the legal steps necessary to do so is one of the greatest feelings every person living in America has a right to experience. Hykel Law of Philadelphia, PA is honored to help immigrants who wish to obtain citizenship legally, because we understand the many freedoms and privileges it can bring to you and your family.

Some families become separated when a spouse or partner is able to achieve residency in the U.S. This could be due to one partner being born in the U.S., while their partner is considered a foreigner, or perhaps because of a work visa, student visa or many other circumstances.

Having an experienced immigration attorney in Philadelphia who knows how to properly plan, organize, file, and represent your asylum case will dramatically increase your odds of being granted an asylum within the United States. Hykel Law has successfully achieved asylum for many of our clients throughout the various stages of the process.

In 1994, Congress passed the (VAWA) Violence Against Women Act to help battered non-U.S. citizens be granted lawful immigration status in the United States. Basic eligibility requirements for a battered foreign non-citizen include being married to an abuser who is either a citizen of the United States or a lawful permanent resident.

If you are in need of a competent Pennsylvania immigration lawyer, Hykel Law serves this niche throughout Greater Philadelphia and Southern NJ. U.S. immigration laws are not always clear-cut like other laws. For some foreign nationals, our system is downright confusing and frustrating. Not everyone fits into the “mold” of what is allowed or not allowed under the current interpretation of immigration laws.
