About Us
Story About Our Firm
A shared immigration experience.
Atiya Law understands your plight as an immigrant, because we have experienced the immigration process first hand as well. Atiya Law was founded as a response to the immigration challenge, a direct reaction to the way government addresses immigration and immigration-related law, and the way the legal support institution engages in the support of its clients.
Atiya Law was founded to give voice and relief to those who come to the United States to provide for their families, escape the challenges and persecution of their native countries, and to pursue the American Dream. Our approach at Atiya Law is to minimize the fear, uncertainty and doubt of the process by treating people with clarity, honesty and respect. We know the process is challenging, and we believe your lawyers should be your trusted guide.

Frequently Asked Question
We handle a wide range of immigration cases, including family-based petitions, employment visas, asylum applications, deportation defense, and naturalization.
To apply for a family-based visa, a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident must file a petition on behalf of a qualifying relative. We can assist with the entire process, including gathering necessary documentation, applying, and preparing for interviews.
Asylum seekers must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. We help clients prepare and submit asylum applications and represent them in hearings.
There are several defenses against deportation, including asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, and waivers of inadmissibility. We evaluate your case to determine the best defense strategy.
Yes, we assist clients with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewals, ensuring all paperwork is correctly filed and deadlines are met. We handle especially complex cases where DACA applicants have pending or past criminal charges.
If your visa application is denied, you may be able to appeal the decision or reapply. We can review your case, identify the reasons for denial, and advise you on the best course of action.
U.S. citizenship can be obtained through birth, derivation, or naturalization. We guide clients through the naturalization process, including application preparation and interview coaching. The process for naturalization has been streamlined so we help you prepare for the test as quickly as possible. If you qualify for a waiver from any part of the test, we help you with that too.
A visa allows temporary entry into the U.S. for specific purposes, while a green card (lawful permanent residency) permits indefinite stay and work in the U.S. We assist with both visa applications and green card processes.
The timeline for obtaining a green card varies based on the type of application and individual circumstances. We provide an estimated timeline based on your specific case. The timelines are constantly updated. You can check the status of your case using your receipt number. The receipt number appears on all notices from USCIS. Use the link for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to check case processing times.
Work visa requirements vary depending on the type of visa. Common requirements include a job offer from a U.S. employer, labor certification, and proof of qualifications. We assist in determining eligibility and preparing applications working with the immigrant and the business owner in the U.S.
