Licensed attorneys in New York and New Jersey representing families, professionals, students, and investors in petitions before USCIS, the National Visa Center, and U.S. consulates abroad.
Not a notario. Not a form-prep service. Not a call center.
Immigration cases are decided by federal agencies on federal timelines. You can’t change the timeline, but you can change who’s standing next to you when it matters. We’ll tell you honestly whether you have a case, what it will cost, and how long it will take — at a free 15-minute screening, before you sign anything.
Find the Right Path
We handle four core immigration practice lines. Find the one closest to your situation and start there — we’ll confirm the right strategy at your screening.
Spouses · Parents · Children · Fiancés
You want to bring a family member to the United States, sponsor your spouse, secure a green card through marriage. We handle I-130 family petitions, K-1 fiancé visas, adjustment of status (I-485), consular processing, removal of conditions (I-751).
N-400 · Oath of Allegiance · Civics Prep
You have your green card and you’re ready to become a U.S. citizen. We handle Form N-400 naturalization applications, eligibility review (including continuous residence and good moral character analysis), interview preparation, and follow-up on delayed or denied cases.
H-1B · L-1 · O-1 · F-1 · B-1/B-2 · Outbound
You need a visa to come to, stay in, or leave the United States for work or school — or you’re an employer sponsoring someone else. We handle non-immigrant work visas (H-1B, L-1, O-1, E-2 treaty-based), student visas (F-1, M-1), visitor visas (B-1/B-2), and outbound work permit coordination for U.S. citizens and residents working abroad.
E-2 · EB-5 · EB-1/2/3 · PERM
You’re investing in or starting a U.S. business, or you’re being sponsored by an employer for a green card based on your work. We handle E-2 treaty investor visas, EB-5 immigrant investor petitions, employment-based green cards (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3), and PERM labor certification — and we coordinate with our business law practice when your matter involves entity formation, contracts, or commercial leasing.
You will see ads online that promise outcomes, fast-tracks, or “secret loopholes.” Those promises are how people get hurt. Here is what an honest immigration attorney can and cannot do for you.
What Working With Us Looks Like
You book a screening call online or by phone. We confirm we handle your matter type, run a quick eligibility check, and tell you what a full consultation would cover. No retainer required. No pressure.
If your matter looks like a fit, we schedule a paid consultation. In that meeting we review your documents, identify the correct visa or petition category, flag any red flags (prior denials, prior immigration violations, criminal history, prior misrepresentations), and quote a fee for the engagement.
You sign an engagement letter and pay the retainer. We open your file in our case management system, send you a document checklist, and assign your matter to a specific attorney and paralegal — not a call-center queue.
We collect your documents, draft your petition, prepare any required affidavits and supporting evidence, and walk you through every form before it is signed. Nothing gets filed until you have reviewed and approved it.
We file with the appropriate agency, monitor case status, respond to any Requests for Evidence (RFEs), prepare you for the interview if one is scheduled, and follow up on the decision. If the case is denied, we tell you immediately whether an appeal, motion, or refiling makes sense.
Your Team
President & Managing Attorney
Barry founded The Law Office of Barry E. Janay, P.C. and has practiced in New York and New Jersey for more than 20 years. The firm is multi-practice — estates and trusts, business law, employment, civil litigation, bankruptcy, and immigration. That depth matters in immigration practice, because immigration matters often intersect with employer sponsorship, business formation, family estate planning, or real estate transactions. When they do, you work with one firm — not three.

Document & Case Management
Your matter is supported day-to-day by the firm’s paralegal and intake team. Our paralegals handle document collection and review, form preparation, USCIS and consular agency follow-up, status checks, and case-management communication, all under direct attorney supervision. Our intake team handles the screening call, scheduling, and the engagement letter process. You will know who is working on your file and how to reach them — that is one of the things a firm of our size can offer that high-volume immigration mills cannot.
What It Costs
Immigration attorney fees vary based on the petition or visa category, the complexity of your case, whether your employer or sponsor is involved, and whether there are complicating factors like prior denials, prior status issues, or criminal history.
We are transparent about cost from the first call — and we are flexible about how we structure it. Many of our immigration matters are handled on a flat fee basis. Others are better served by a hybrid arrangement, or by another structure that fits the specific facts of your case.
At your free 15-minute screening and your follow-up consultation, we will:
We accept payment plans for most matters. You will never get a surprise invoice from us.
It depends entirely on the petition type and the agency processing it. Some employment-based extensions are decided in weeks. Family-based green cards from certain countries can take years because of statutory visa-number limits set by Congress. At your screening, we will give you a realistic timeline range based on current USCIS and Department of State data — not a sales pitch.
Yes. We handle certain cases involving deportation or removal proceedings, including matters before immigration court (EOIR). Every case is different, and the best next step is to contact us for an evaluation of your situation. If your matter falls outside our scope, we will provide honest guidance and, where appropriate, help point you in the right direction.
Mostly flat fee, but we are flexible. Many immigration matters work well on a single flat fee for the engagement. Others — particularly cases that may involve Requests for Evidence, appeals, or unusually complex documentation — are better served by a hybrid arrangement (flat fee for the standard filing, hourly for complications). We will recommend the structure that fits your case at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
Sometimes — it depends on your current status and the type of case. Some applications come with Employment Authorization Document (EAD) eligibility. Others do not. Working without authorization can derail your case. We will tell you exactly what you are and are not allowed to do.
There are usually options — administrative appeal, motion to reopen, motion to reconsider, or refiling with stronger evidence. Whether any of those make sense depends on the reason for the denial. We will give you a candid assessment of your odds before you spend more money.
Almost never. Immigration law is statutory, and the statute is set by Congress. There is no fast-track exemption that an attorney can access through a back channel. If anyone — attorney or non-attorney — tells you they know a shortcut, get a second opinion. We will give you one for free.
Sometimes, depending on what they did and what was filed. The first step is for you to obtain copies of every form that was submitted on your behalf. Bring those to your screening and we will tell you honestly what is recoverable. We have seen cases that were fixable and cases that were not. You deserve a real answer.
No. Most of our immigration work is handled remotely, with secure document sharing and video meetings. We have offices in Livingston, New Jersey and downtown Manhattan if you would prefer to meet in person.
No honest immigration attorney will tell you “yes” before reviewing your case. After we review your documents, we will tell you what we believe your odds are, what factors could improve them, and what factors are working against you. If we do not think your case is likely to be approved, we will tell you that too — before you pay a retainer.
You will leave the call knowing whether you have a case, what it would cost, and what to expect — whether you hire us or not.

We are licensed attorneys — not notarios, not immigration consultants, and not document preparers. Under federal and state law, only a licensed attorney or a Department of Justice–accredited representative is authorized to give legal advice on immigration matters or represent you before USCIS, the immigration courts, or the Board of Immigration Appeals. In many Latin American countries, a “notario público” is a highly trained legal professional — that is not the case in the United States. A U.S. notary public has no authority to give legal advice or represent you in an immigration matter. If you have been told otherwise by someone preparing your forms, please bring those forms to your screening so we can review them.
