Why Choose Shane and Shane, P.A.?

Shane and Shane has practiced exclusively U.S. immigration law since 1978 — the kind of multi-decade specialty depth that's rare even among immigration firms.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How does family-based immigration to the U.S. work?
U.S. citizens can petition for spouses, parents, children, and siblings; lawful permanent residents can petition for spouses and unmarried children. Each category has different priority dates, processing times, and country-of-birth quotas. The firm handles petitions, adjustments of status, and consular processing across all categories.
What is cancellation of removal?
A defense available in immigration court allowing some non-citizens with long U.S. residence and qualifying U.S.-citizen relatives to avoid deportation, even after an immigration violation. Eligibility requires 10 years continuous residence, exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to qualifying relatives, and good moral character. The firm has handled successful cancellation cases.
What's the EB-5 investor program?
EB-5 lets foreign investors and their families obtain green cards by investing $800,000 (in a Targeted Employment Area) or $1,050,000 (elsewhere) in a job-creating U.S. enterprise. Direct EB-5 and regional-center investments are both available, with different processing routes. The firm handles both.
Does the firm handle naturalization?
Yes. Naturalization (becoming a U.S. citizen) typically requires 5 years of permanent residency (3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), continuous physical presence, good moral character, and passing English and civics tests. The firm prepares N-400 applications and represents clients at naturalization interviews.
