Wherever you live, you can work with a U.S. law firm that understands both the American system and where you are coming from. Ozek Law Firm, LLC represents individuals, families, investors and companies worldwide in U.S. immigration, business and cross-border legal matters, by video and in your language.
U.S. immigration law is federal. An attorney admitted to practice in any U.S. jurisdiction may represent you before USCIS, the Department of State, U.S. consulates and the immigration courts no matter where you live (8 CFR 292.1). That is how we represent families, professionals, investors and companies from Türkiye and many other countries, as well as clients in every U.S. state.
Our work starts where your plans start: a job offer, a business you want to open, a spouse or fiancé(e) in the United States, a research career, a refusal you need to overcome, or a dispute that ended up in a U.S. court.
Where you were born and which passport you hold can change your options. Treaty investor (E-2) eligibility depends on nationality; Türkiye and Sweden, for example, are treaty countries. Nationals of some countries are also subject to U.S. travel and visa restrictions that change frequently. Dual citizens should tell us about every nationality they hold, because a second passport can open a path the first one closes.
Serving the Turkish-speaking community is at the heart of our practice. Turkish-language guidance is available across our site, including Amerika’da Türk Avukat, ABD Göçmenlik Avukatı and Amerika’da Şirket Kurma.
