Immigration Lawyers in New York

Extraordinary Ability Petitions

Colby Law Office prepares petitions for O and P visas (commonly known as “artist visas”) for visual and performing artists. These visas allow established and emerging artists to work in the United States. Colby Law Office is proud of its strong record of obtaining visa petition approvals on behalf of its clients, who have included dancers, graphic designers, theater directors, circus performers and other artists.

Our services include general advice regarding working in the United States under an O or P visa, and evaluating whether an artist is a suitable candidate for the visa. We help prepare portfolios of work demonstrating extraordinary ability in the arts, assist in preparing letters of support that will be persuasive with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), work directly with unions and other labor organizations to obtain any required advisory opinions, respond to requests for evidence (RFEs) from USCIS, and monitor the status of submitted immigration petitions.

Family-Based Petitions

Colby Law Office also represents clients in family-based immigration matters, including obtaining K-1 (fiancé) visas and green cards for spouses of U.S. citizens, as well as counseling on related benefits such as work permits and travel authorizations, and preparing clients for interviews at USCIS and consular posts overseas. The immigration process can be daunting, especially when loved ones are involved; Colby Law Office is skilled at providing thoughtful guidance to its clients as they navigate this system.
