Immigration Lawyer in Marion County

More Than 50 Years of Combined Experience in U.S. Immigration Law

Attorney Steve Richard Miller founded Affordable Immigration in 2009. Today, our team brings more than 50 years of combined practice experience to U.S. immigration law. We serve individuals, couples, families, and businesses throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Oregon and Washington, and handle a wide range of immigration matters, from family-based petitions to naturalization. In 2022, BestoftheWillametteValley.com voted us the Best Immigration Law Firm, and we’ve helped thousands of people work through their immigration matters over the years.

Marion County residents can work with us in the way that fits their situation. We offer free initial consultations, virtual consultations, and service in Spanish, so language and logistics don’t have to stand in the way of getting legal guidance. Immigration matters are governed by federal law, not county-specific rules, and we represent clients in matters before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the U.S. Department of State.

Immigration Matters We Handle

We focus our practice entirely on U.S. immigration law. We don’t handle other types of cases, and our team works on immigration matters day in and day out.

Marion County clients come to us with a wide range of needs, and we assist with:

• Green Cards: We assist clients pursuing legal permanent residency, including preparation of applications and guidance through each stage of the process. Eligibility and procedures vary based on individual circumstances and the basis for the petition.
• Citizenship and Naturalization: We guide clients through the naturalization process, including eligibility review, documentation preparation, and interview readiness.
• Family-Based Immigration: We help families pursue reunification through the appropriate federal channels, which may involve petitions for qualifying relatives, immigrant visa processing, or adjustment of status depending on the facts of the case.
• Work Permits: We assist individuals seeking work authorization and help clients understand which process applies to their situation.
• Visa Acquisition and Renewal: We assist with a range of visa matters through our full immigration services, working with clients to identify an appropriate category and prepare their filings.

We are admitted to practice in federal immigration courts and represent clients in both USCIS matters and proceedings before the U.S. Department of State. The appropriate agency, filing location, and process for any given case depends on the type of matter and the applicant’s circumstances.

Federal Agencies & Proceedings Relevant to Marion County Clients

Because immigration is governed by federal law, local residents work through the same federal agencies as applicants throughout the country. USCIS handles a wide range of benefit applications, while the U.S. Department of State oversees consular processing for applicants outside the United States. When a matter involves immigration court proceedings, the Portland Immigration Court, an Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) court, may be relevant. The specific agency, interview location, or court involved in any given case depends on the nature of the matter and how it is filed.

We stay current with USCIS procedures, Department of State requirements, and federal immigration court processes to provide clients with accurate guidance based on their actual situation rather than general assumptions about how a case will move through the system.
