Upton & Hatfield provides immigration services for individuals and families, and can also advise employers and educational institutions with compliance and government reporting requirements.
We process applications for family-based immigration visas/green cards for immediate relatives and preference categories, including fiancée visas. In addition, we can process applications for:
- Naturalization
- Citizenship

We frequently serve and advise permanent residents who would like to adjust status, U.S. citizens and non-citizens who would like to file family-based petitions, non-U.S. citizens applying for asylum, non-U.S. citizens who would like to study in the U.S. We also advise institutions of higher learning on situations arising related to its foreign students, OPT, and international driving permits.
