At Paulus Immigration, we know how difficult it is to navigate the United States��� complex immigration laws. We are dedicated to helping you explore your immigration options, create a plan for your case, and obtain the immigration benefit for which you qualify. And if you do not qualify for an immigration benefit at this time, Paulus Immigration will explain why and what your current rights are. At Paulus Immigration, we care about our clients and their families, and our goal is to create a safe place for them to seek advice from an attorney about their immigration options.

Paulus Immigration handles a wide range of immigration cases. We represent clients in removal proceedings, working with them to fight their deportation. We also handle humanitarian cases, such as asylum for individuals who are afraid to return to their home country, U visas for victims of crime in the United States, and VAWA for victims of domestic abuse. We also prepare applications for permanent residence, naturalization, and citizenship. Paulus Immigration has considerable experience working with individuals who have complex criminal and immigration histories, and we enjoy finding creative solutions in difficult cases.

Paulus Immigration looks forward to working with you to achieve your immigration goals.

We are happy to introduce to you the team at Ensley & Associates, LLC.  Our law firm is unique as it provides services in the entire spectrum of Immigration, Business and Commercial, and International Law which are often inter-related.  

Our extensive experience with immigration law includes permanent and non-permanent employment-based cases, petitions based on business investments, family-based immigration, as well as non-immigrant cases such as student and exchange visitor applications.  We assist employers with the process of obtaining permanent and non-permanent labor certifications and with the overall sponsorship of foreign nationals.  Our team has filed H1-B applications and intra-company transferee petitions.  Our professionals have also assisted small and large foreign investors who find business opportunities here in the United States.    

For our individual clients, U.S. naturalization is often the ultimate goal.  However, they often become lost in the maze of immigration laws and regulations. The process of becoming a permanent resident of the United States and eventually a U.S. citizen can be complicated and confusing.  Sometimes, it may require a change of status, a waiver, or simply an extension of the client’s current status.  We provide clarification and assistance during this process and develop a clear path in our clients’ way to a better life.
