If you are a U.S. citizen in a relationship with someone living abroad, one of the first and most important decisions you will face is how to bring your partner to the United States. For most couples, the choice comes down to two options: the K-1 fiancé visa or the CR-1/IR-1 spousal visa. Both lead to a green card and permanent residency, but they take very different routes to get there, and the one that makes the most sense for your situation depends on factors that are unique to your relationship.

In our latest blog post, we cover the major differences between these two visas, touching on: process, timelines, costs, and work authorization/travel permission.

If you have recently formed a Professional Limited Liability Company in New York, or you are in the process of doing so, you may have been caught off guard by a requirement that feels oddly archaic: you have to publish a notice about your new business in two local newspapers for six consecutive weeks. This is the New York PLLC publication requirement, and yes, it is mandatory. Failing to complete it on time can result in the suspension of your PLLC's authority to conduct business in the New York state.

In our latest blog post, we cover the publication requirement, including the timeline, costs and common mistakes that can waste time and money.

If you hold citizenship in 1 of 39 countries listed in the latest expanded travel ban, your USCIS application is likely on hold or will be placed on hold indefinitely. This unprecedented action taken by USCIS is upending decades of precedent and putting families in limbo.

Our latest YouTube video covers the expanded travel ban and application hold issued by USCIS. If you're married to a U.S. citizen and considering applying for Adjustment of Status here in the United States, and you hold citizenship in one of the listed countries, you are at risk.

Is your home country on the expanded travel ban list? Are you married to a U.S. citizen and wondering if you can file for adjustment of status or whether your green card application can still move forward?

On January 1, 2026, USCIS expanded the travel ban from 19 to 39 countries and placed an indefinite pause on all immigration benefit applications for individuals from these countries. The 2026 travel ban and USCIS adjudication hold have created an unprecedented level of uncertainty for families across the country. In our latest blog post, we explain exactly what the hold means for your case, which applications are affected, what exceptions exist, and the steps you should be taking right now to protect yourself and your family.

It's also important to note that this travel ban is different than the 75 country travel ban that was issued on January 21, 2026 that affects individuals applying for immigrant visas abroad.
