Our Mission Is Your Immigration Success

We at Litwin & Smith represent each client before the various U.S. government agencies that regulate immigration benefits with our one mission in mind: to secure for you and yours, America’s promise as a nation of immigrants, by providing representation that results in U.S. immigration benefits to you.
U.S. immigration rules are a patchwork of laws, regulations, interpretations, memos and actions by several U.S. government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS), U.S. Department of State (DOS) and the many U.S. Embassies and Consulates, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs & Border Patrol (CBP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), and others. Litwin & Smith understands and applies the latest interplay of these myriad laws, regulations, rules, memos, and decisions that require knowledge, experience and creative application to each person’s circumstance and the visa required.
