Services We Provide

The most important work we do is helping families obtain a visa to come to the U.S. or a path to become legal in this country. We lead our clients through the many forms and processes for spouses, fiancés, parents, siblings and children of U.S. citizens and residents.

Family Immigration

Achieving U.S. citizenship is the final step for most immigrants in the U.S. There are a variety of ways for immigrants to become citizens. Naturalization is the process of applying on form N-400 and taking a test on civics, history and spoken and written English.

Citizenship & Nationality

Our job is to defend our clients in Immigration Court, at the Board of Immigration Appeals and in various Federal Courts. We insist that the government officers, lawyers and immigration judges do justice and uphold the constitutional rights of all of our clients.

Deportation & Removal

Since 2000, people who have been victims of domestic abuse as well as certain other crimes can seek protection from immigration when law enforcement verifies that a crime has taken place. Family members can be included in this type of application.

Crime Victim (U) Visas and VAWA

The government responds to long and short term pressures on immigration by creating programs such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), NACARA and DACA. Although DACA is currently “cancelled,” our team is ready to help DACA holders when they face challenges with US immigration or ICE.

Deferred Action (DACA), TPS, NACARA

The immigration legal system is complex. We help people who would otherwise not qualify for status determine whether an exception or waiver might allow an application to go forward. I-601A Provisional Waivers permit relatives of legal residents and citizens to seek permanent status. Parole status (military, humanitarian, etc.,) is another type of exception that can be applied to allow an application to proceed.

Waivers and Parole

Asylum is a key part of the immigration legal system in the U.S. Individuals and families fleeing persecution, discrimination and other harm are guaranteed a right to seek protection in this country. Asylum cases involve the application of international human rights law.

Political Asylum

Immigration law is complex. It is difficult to know how your specific situation is affected by immigration laws, regulations and policies. Meeting with us for a consultation can be valuable for you to get your questions answered and to make a plan. If we can’t help, we will say so, and tell you how best to protect yourself and your family.

Immigrants, We Are America

These are wonderful images from a recent trip to the immigration office. What inspiring messages for our new citizens to see. “Immigrants, we are America.” This is America. Welcoming immigrants, encouraging citizenship. Children’s art from the Seattle Immigration Office lobby.

The Truth About The Illegal Immigration ‘Crisis’

Those in the reality-based discussion about immigration have pointed out for years that the “crisis” of illegal immigration isn’t a crisis at all and, in fact, that the outflow of people along the southern border has topped the inflow. Pew Research has released a new study confirming exactly this — and demonstrating that the progress in thwarting…

What Our Clients Say

“After a U.S. Senator could not help us get out of our country, someone told our friend in Port Townsend to contact Seifert Law Offices to help. The office immediately started my case. In less than a month the paper work was done and we were out of Guinea by January 2001. Had we not obtained the visas and stayed in Guinea we would not be alive to tell this story. Thank God we are now in the States, united with our daughter, sound and safe and thank God for Seifert Law Offices.”
