Legal Services
Our legal team is accredited by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legal Access Programs and has served Tulsa newcomers for over 25 years. Our staff includes a full-time immigration attorney and bilingual DOJ-accredited immigration representatives. We specialize in naturalization and family-based cases, assisting U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents to petition for family members to come to the U.S., including spouses, married and unmarried children, parents, siblings, and fiancé(e)s.

- Once your application has been filed, we provide updates on your case.
All people living in the United States, including undocumented immigrants, have certain U.S. Constitutional rights. To help navigate the current socio-political environment, American Immigration Lawyers Association has created documents specifying immigrant rights should you encounter Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
If you are undocumented and ICE agents knock on your door without a warrant, you have the right to:
- Not open the door
- Remain silent
- Speak to a lawyer

You also have rights should ICE come to your work place. If immigration officers come to your place of employment, they must have a valid search warrant or the consent of your employer to enter non-public areas. If you are undocumented and immigration officers come to your work place, be aware of the following:
- Do not panic and do not run away
- You have the right to remain silent
- You have the right to speak to a lawyer.
