How Can We Help You?

Immigration law today presents complications that yesterday’s immigrants could not have imagined. These complications are primarily legal obstacles, as well as frequently changing technical rules and regulations that do not always make sense to a person not familiar with the immigration process.

Choices that seem straightforward—such as what category of visa to pursue—are often quite complex. Additionally, matters that may seem benign, such as a decades-old driving conviction, can have implications for an intending immigrant.

For that reason, you can turn to us. Rather than going through the delay, extra expense, and heartache of incorrectly filed K-1 fiancé(e) visa petitions, marriage-based green card applications, spousal immigrant visa petitions or waiver applications, work with us.

Our firm’s founding attorney, Jae Francis Lee, understands how to help you. He himself is a professional, holding his Ph.D. from New York University and a professor in U.S. history at the University of Wisconsin. He is also the first-general immigrant who has personally gone through an F-1 visa, H-1B visa, EB-1 green card, and Naturalization processes.

As a result, you will be able to rely on us to provide you with an understanding of the process, evaluate your options and choose wisely. You will rest easier knowing that we are working on your behalf for a successful outcome. In addition to knowing that you are pursuing the visa that best fits your needs, a professionally prepared application may be approved more quickly.

Francis Law Center took a very difficult process (i.e. getting my wife & two daughters a marriage visa/green card) and made it go so much more smoothly. For those that have have not gone through this process, it is very cumbersome and downright scary. Francis Law Center, with huge kudos to Jae and our para legals Alex and Grace, made this tiresome process go much more smoothly. Grace was particularly awesome at the very end, as many last minute items came up that she handled extremely professionally. THANK YOU FRANCIS LAW CENTER, especially Alex, Grace & Jae

My family has trusted Francis Law Center for two completely different immigration cases, and we are incredibly grateful for the results. My own case was marriage-based. I had DACA and had previously traveled with Advance Parole, so I was able to adjust my status without leaving the United States. Attorney Jae Francis guided me through every step of the process, making everything clear, organized, and surprisingly stress-free. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and I successfully received my permanent resident card. My father’s case was much more complex and included an immigration waiver. His petition was through his U.S. citizen son, and unfortunately, he had initially started the process with a notary, which created several complications. Attorney Francis took over the case midway through, carefully untangled the issues, and guided our family through a much longer and more challenging process. They conducted extensive research to make sure they fully understood every aspect of the case and developed the best strategy possible. During the waiting period, we would have appreciated a little more proactive follow-up and communication. We understand the firm was going through a restructuring process at the time, which likely contributed to some delays, so we tried to be patient. Despite that, Attorney Francis remained committed to my father’s case, and we’re happy to report that he attended his immigrant visa interview in Ciudad Juárez just last week and was approved for his green card. That is no small victory, especially under the current immigration climate. One thing I really appreciate is that they offer free consultations and are upfront about their fees. Transparency is important, especially when you’re making a significant financial investment and choosing legal representation that can truly make the difference between successfully obtaining legal status and losing the opportunity to remain with your family in the United States. Overall, Attorney Jae Francis is knowledgeable, honest, and thorough.

I consistently receive prompt, efficient service and exceptional professional results. I have renewed my DACA through this firm for years, followed their recommendation to complete the advanced parole process, and successfully obtained my marriage-based green card with their assistance. I offer my highest recommendation.

Finished in person consultation with Dr Jae Francis. The staff and Dr Jae were friendly throughout the appointment. We had many questions prepared and were satisfied that they were all explained. We signed a contract and started our immigration journey with them. Very excited

I am incredibly grateful to Francis Law Center for helping me with my I-751 case after I received a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). From the beginning, their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive during a very stressful time. They carefully reviewed my case, helped me prepare a strong response, and guided me through every step of the process. Their attention to detail and expertise gave me confidence when I needed it most. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my case had a positive outcome. I highly recommend Francis Law Center to anyone dealing with complex immigration matters. They truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to help families stay together. Thank you to Attorney Francis and the entire team for your outstanding service and support.
