Fiance Visa K1 & K2
To bring a foreign national fiance to the US requires a K-1 fiance visa. This is a multi-step application process involving the U.S. citizenship service and U.S. consulate abroad. I have helped many couples navigate through this complex process and achieve success. A foreign national's dependent children may also be included in this application process and enter the U.S. with a K-2 visa. Read more about fiance visas.

Business U.S. Immigration
As an immigration attorney, I represent companies requiring non-immigrant visas for temporary workers, seasonal employment H2B visas, professional, treaty-trader and investor visas (E-1 & E-2). In addition, I work with employers and investors seeking immigrant visas such as EB-5 visas and those seeking visas to enter the U.S. based upon extra-ordinary ability in their profession with an O visa.

Power of Attorney
Many families overlook the necessity of a simple Power of Attorney when considering immigration law. Protect your family and plan ahead for immigration matters. More information on how a Power of Attorney can benefit you and your family.

Removal & Deportation Defense
Non-U.S. citizens may find themselves facing removal or deportation from the U.S. for having violated their immigration status or because they have committed certain crimes. I can help. If you or someone you know if facing removal or deportation, contact me to represent them before the Immigration Court. Immigration law is federal law and I can represent foreign nationals in any immigration court throughout the U.S.Read more about Removal & Deportation defense.

Naturalization & Citizenship
Applying for U.S. citizenship is an important decision. I have helped many lawful permanent residents through the naturalization process and establish whether they are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. It is important to discuss the naturalization test and citizenship process with a qualified immigration attorney. Read about Naturalization & Citizenship.

Administrative Appeals & Waivers
All too often and with increasing frequency, applications made for an immigration benefit, defense to removal or deportation or visa abroad are denied. In many cases, you have a right to appeal the decision. As an immigration attorney, I routinely prepare and submit appeals or waiver applications after the U.S. immigration service, the U.S. consulate abroad, or Immigration Court has made a denial or finding that a waiver application is required for further processing. Learn more about Administrative Appeals and Waiver applications.

Minnesota Refugee Assistance
The state of Minnesota has a diverse population of people from all over the world. Within this mix are refugee and asylum seekers from countries such as Somalia, Burma, Liberia, Ethiopia, Laos, Camaroon, the former Soviet Union, Afganistan, Chad, China, Congo, Cuba, Eritria, Indomesia, Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, Vietnam, Togo, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and many other countries. If you need assistance with immigration refugee matters, please contact Malee.

Family Law Many U.S. immigration cases cross over and incorporate both immigration and family law issues such as international adoption, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), U.S. citizenship & naturalization, special juvenile petitions and removal & deportation defense. If you or a someone you know is not a U.S. citizen and facing a family law matter, contact an experienced immigration attorney to determine whether immigration law is implicated and what considerations must be made.

Consular and Port of Entry Processing
Persons wishing to obtain permanent resident status from outside the U.S. must apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy. Presenting a well-written and accurate visa application and supporting documentation can enhance your prospects of obtaining a visa.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is charged with processing immigrant visa petitions, naturalization petitions, and asylum and refugee applications, as well as making adjudicative decisions performed at the service centers, and managing all other immigration benefits functions.
