About Our Firm
The Law Offices of Albert Goodwin, PLLC is an immigration law firm serving New York City and the surrounding counties. Since our founding in 2008, we have helped families reunite, employers sponsor talent, permanent residents become citizens, and people in danger find safety in the United States. We represent clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and U.S. consulates abroad.
Direct Attorney Representation
When you hire our firm, you work directly with attorney Albert Goodwin. Unlike larger operations where your case may be handed to a paralegal you never speak to, or notario services that are not authorized to give legal advice, Attorney Goodwin personally handles every file from the first conversation through approval. Immigration deadlines are strict and the consequences of a mistake are severe. You need a lawyer who knows your case and returns your call.
Our Practice Areas
Our firm concentrates on immigration law, which lets us give a depth of attention that general-practice offices cannot match. Our areas of focus include:
- Family-Based Immigration – Petitions by U.S. citizens and permanent residents for spouses, children, parents, and siblings.
- Marriage Green Cards – Bona fide marriage evidence, the green card interview, and removal of conditions.
- K-1 Fiancé Visas – Petition, consular processing, and adjustment after the wedding.
- Adjustment of Status – Applying for a green card from inside the United States.
- Employment-Based Immigration – Work visas and employment green cards for employers and skilled foreign nationals.
- H-1B Specialty Visas – Cap registration, petitions, extensions, and transfers.
- Employment Green Cards – PERM labor certification and the EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 categories.
- EB-5 Investor Visas – Permanent residence through qualifying investment.
- Green Cards and Naturalization – Permanent residence and U.S. citizenship.
- Asylum and Refugee cases – Protection for those who fear persecution.
- Deportation and Removal Defense – Representation in immigration court and on appeal.
Serving the New York City Metropolitan Area and Beyond
We represent clients throughout New York County (Manhattan), Kings County (Brooklyn), Queens County, Bronx County, and Richmond County (Staten Island), as well as Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties. Because immigration is federal, we also assist clients across the country and abroad with USCIS filings, consular cases, and matters in the New York immigration courts.
Our Philosophy
For our clients, an immigration case is rarely just paperwork. It is a marriage, a parent left behind, a job that makes a life in this country possible, or safety from real danger. We approach every case with that weight in mind and with the practicality that the deadlines require. We give honest assessments, recommend the right path forward even when it is not the most lucrative one for us, and prepare every filing carefully.
Languages
We assist clients in English, Spanish, and Russian. Si usted prefiere hablar en español, visite nuestra página para abogado de inmigración en Nueva York. Мы также говорим по-русски — посетите наши страницы на русском языке.
