Immigration & Nationality Law

Being a first-generation Arab-American, Mary Khano Foteh knows the struggles her family experienced when immigrating to the United States over forty years ago. The U.S. immigration laws have changed quite a bit since that time. With the passage of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has most of the decision-making power, and has many different agencies under its umbrella.

U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) is but one of those agencies, USCIS is mainly responsible for adjudicating immigration benefits, like granting lawful permanent residence (“green cards”), changing or extending visas, granting naturalization, as well as asylum and refugee matter. The Law Office of Mary Khano Foteh, P.C. has years of experience representing clients before USCIS, as well as the other major agency players, like U.S. Custom & Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement ( ICE). Whether you have an adjustment case, removal case, or visa issue, Mrs. Foteh will walk you through step by step.
