FAMILY-BASED GREEN CARD
For For many immigrants, family is the foundation of stability, strength, and success. A family-based green card offers the opportunity to reunite with loved ones and build a shared future in the United States. We provide clear, compassionate, and strategic guidance through every step of the process.
Whether you are a U.S. citizen sponsoring a spouse, child, or parent, or a lawful permanent resident petitioning for a family member, your application will be prepared with accuracy, care, and close attention to deadlines and eligibility requirements.
Our team assists with filing Form I-130, preparing for consular or adjustment interviews, and addressing potential challenges such as inadmissibility, prior immigration violations, or delays. We also offer tailored legal solutions for mixed-status families, helping secure long-term immigration stability for you and your loved ones.
We are committed to reuniting families and keeping them together. One case at a time.

CONSULAR PROCESSING
If you or a loved one is applying for a visa from outside the United States, consular processing is the pathway to lawful entry. We provide experienced, end-to-end support throughout this process, helping you navigate each step with clarity and confidence.
From compiling and submitting required documentation to preparing you for the in-person consular interview, we ensure that every detail is handled with precision. We coordinate closely with U.S. consulates and embassies around the world to anticipate potential delays, resolve issues, and keep your case on track.
Consular processing can involve medical exams, background checks, and heightened scrutiny—especially in cases with prior denials or complex immigration histories. Our team develops tailored legal strategies to strengthen your application and reduce the risk of setbacks.
Whether you're reuniting with family, pursuing a career opportunity, or seeking a new beginning in the United States, we are committed to making your journey as smooth and successful as possible.

NATURALIZATION AND CITIZENSHIP
Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone in any immigrant’s journey, and one that offers security, opportunity, and a deeper sense of belonging. We will guide you through every stage of the naturalization process with care, precision, and a deep understanding of the legal requirements.
We ensure that all eligibility criteria are met, assist with accurately completing and submitting Form N-400, and provide step-by-step support in preparing for the naturalization test and interview.
For applicants facing challenges such as a criminal history, extended absences from the United States, or prior denials, we develop tailored legal strategies to strengthen your application. We also assist individuals who qualify for disability-based exceptions to the civics and English language requirements.
With our experienced and compassionate approach, we work to make your path to U.S. citizenship as smooth, informed, and stress-free as possible. Let us help you take this final step with confidence.
DIVERSITY LOTTERY VISA PROGRAM
The Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Lottery Program, also known as the Green Card Lottery, offers individuals from countries with low U.S. immigration rates a chance to obtain permanent residency. Each year, up to 55,000 immigrant visas are made available through this program, creating a unique pathway for individuals and families to build their future in the United States. At DAGADU LAW, we provide expert legal support to help applicants navigate every step of this opportunity.
Though entering the DV Lottery involves a simple online application, the process after selection is complex and time-sensitive. Selected applicants must complete detailed forms, provide supporting documents, and attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy. Any errors or delays can jeopardize your eligibility. Our attorneys ensure every requirement is met accurately to avoid these pitfalls.
Eligibility is determined by country of birth and specific education or work experience criteria. We help clients confirm eligibility and gather the necessary evidence to strengthen their case. Winning the lottery grants the opportunity to apply for a green card but does not guarantee approval. Whether through consular processing abroad or adjustment of status in the U.S., our firm offers comprehensive guidance tailored to your situation.
If you’ve been selected or are planning to apply, contact DAGADU LAW for experienced, client-centered legal assistance. We are here to help you successfully navigate the DV Lottery process and secure your path to permanent residency.
SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS (SIJS)
For minors who have been abandoned, abused, or neglected, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) offers a critical pathway to lawful permanent residency in the United States. These cases are deeply sensitive, and we are committed to ensuring that eligible children, unmarried and under the age of 21, receive the protection, stability, and legal support they need to move forward safely.
SIJS requires coordination across both state and federal systems. We assist with every stage of the process, from obtaining the necessary findings in family or juvenile court to preparing and filing petitions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Our team provides compassionate, thorough guidance to help young immigrants secure a future free from harm.
Our goal is to provide vulnerable children with a strong legal foundation, helping them achieve lasting safety and the opportunity to thrive in the United States.
NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS
Non-immigrant visas provide temporary authorization to enter and stay in the U.S. for work, study, tourism, or other purposes. At DAGADU LAW, we help individuals and businesses secure the appropriate visa for their needs, whether it's an F-1 for students, or B-1/B-2 for business visitors and tourists. Our experienced attorneys ensure that applications meet USCIS standards, helping clients avoid unnecessary denials or delays. No matter your short-term U.S. travel or work needs, we are here to streamline the visa process for you.
We provide tailored legal assistance for visa extensions, change of status requests, and consular processing for non-immigrant visas. If you encounter issues such as Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or visa denials, our attorneys develop strategic responses to improve your chances of approval. Whether you are an employer hiring foreign talent or an individual seeking educational or travel opportunities in the U.S., our firm is dedicated to making the process efficient and stress-free.
VAWA PETITIONS
Immigrant survivors of domestic violence, abuse, or extreme cruelty may be eligible for legal relief under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). At DAGADU LAW, we provide compassionate legal representation to individuals seeking protection and independence through a VAWA self-petition. Whether you are married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or are the child or parent of an abusive U.S. citizen, we can help you navigate the petition process confidentially and securely.
VAWA allows eligible individuals to apply for a green card without needing their abuser’s cooperation or knowledge. We assist clients in gathering necessary documentation, including evidence of abuse, shared residence, and good moral character, to strengthen their case. If your application faces challenges such as lack of documentation or prior immigration violations, we develop legal strategies to address these concerns. Our team prioritizes your safety and legal success, ensuring that you receive the protection and security you deserve.
REMOVAL DEFENSE
Facing deportation is a stressful and life-changing experience but you don’t have to face it alone. We provide aggressive and compassionate removal defense for individuals in deportation proceedings, representing clients in immigration court and pursuing relief such as cancellation of removal, asylum, and adjustment of status.
Each case is thoroughly analyzed to identify the strongest possible defense, whether that means seeking protection under immigration law, establishing eligibility for relief, or challenging procedural errors that may have occurred during the legal process.
If you or a loved one is facing removal, we’re here to advocate for your right to remain in the United States with your loved ones.
WAIVERS FOR INADMISSIBILITY
Being deemed inadmissible to the United States due to prior immigration violations, criminal history, health-related concerns, or other disqualifying factors can be discouraging but it doesn’t have to be the end of your immigration journey. Legal waivers offer a path forward, allowing you to overcome these barriers and pursue lawful status.
Whether applying for a family-based green card, a work visa, or defending against removal, securing a waiver can be critical to your immigration success. Several types of waivers may be available, including:
- I-601 waivers for criminal convictions, fraud/misrepresentation, or health-related grounds
- I-212 waivers for reentry after prior removal or deportation
- I-601A provisional waivers for unlawful presence
- Hardship waivers requiring proof of extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative
Each waiver has distinct legal and evidentiary requirements. Skilled legal representation is essential to build a persuasive and complete application. Our team works closely with clients to assess eligibility, collect supporting evidence, and craft a compelling narrative that demonstrates hardship, rehabilitation, and good moral character when required.
Waiver applications are often denied due to insufficient documentation or failure to meet legal standards. We take a meticulous approach, identifying potential weaknesses and strengthening your case to maximize the chances of approval.
If you’ve been found inadmissible and are unsure of your next steps, don’t lose hope. With the right guidance, a waiver can open the door to lawful immigration status and long-term stability in the United States.
