Contact The Messersmith Law Firm, P.A.
Contact the firm regarding an adjustment of status matter, Form I-485 problem, INA §245 eligibility question, inadmissibility issue, RFE, NOID, denial, immigration court matter, or another complex U.S. immigration issue.
Send the firm a message
Provide enough information to identify the immigration issue. Do not include Social Security numbers, financial account information, passwords, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
Three important points
Identify deadlines
If an RFE, NOID, appeal, motion, court hearing, departure date, or filing deadline is involved, state the exact deadline in your message.
Send relevant records
Government notices, prior immigration decisions, court orders, and relevant petitions are generally more useful than large collections of unrelated documents.
Preserve the original record
Keep copies of all immigration filings, agency notices, court documents, passports, I-94 records, and evidence submitted to the government.
