Louisville, Kentucky Immigration Lawyer

Family-Based Visa • Naturalization • Deportation and Asylum

If you are a citizen or permanent U.S. resident wishing to bring family members into the United States, or if you are at risk of being deported to your country of origin, we can help. Our Kentucky immigration law firm will explain your rights and guide you through the process.

Colleen English worked for a Cincinnati firm on immigration and asylum issues before joining her father in practice. We handle all marriage and family visas and removal or asylum issues, serving clients in Jefferson County and surrounding areas of north central Kentucky.

There are many obstacles to the immigration process. Failing to following the proper procedures could result in delayed proceedings, denials, or even deportation. While the immigration process is complicated to most people, a lawyer working in immigration law, can help explain the laws and your possible alternatives. An attorney will complete and file the proper forms, accompany and represent you in court, and work to obtain your desired status.

Family-Based Visas

The English Law Group, P.S.C. is knowledgeable about family immigration laws and policies. We work closely with clients to obtain visas and green cards for family members to join you in the United States:

  • Spouse visas (K-3) for a wife or husband to join you in America
  • Fiancée visas (K-1) for U.S. citizens engaged to marry a foreign national
  • Visas for children, siblings, parents and other relatives

The length of time to obtain entry for your loved one depends on the type of visa, the country, and your own residency status. It is important that all required documentation be submitted, per USCIS timelines. False information, missing information, or missed deadlines can result in many more months of delay, or denial of the visa. Colleen English will personally handle the application, explain your rights, prepare applicants for interviews, and contact the USCIS or foreign consulate when obstacles arise.

Naturalization
We also assist permanent residents who wish to become naturalized citizens. Ms. English can help with the applications, and prepare you for the interview and U.S. citizenship test.
