- Citizenship and NaturalizationForeign nationals who live as legal permanent residents in the U.S. for five years may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. This process, known as naturalization, includes many important steps. Usually, the immigrant must be able to demonstrate the ability to read, write and speak English; and to pass a U.S. history and civics exam. The immigrant also must be of “good moral character.” Certain types of criminal convictions may make an immigrant ineligible for citizenship. It is very important to prepare for the naturalization process and truthfully complete the application. Any material misrepresentations may result in removal (also called deportation).
- Family ImmigrationBecause U.S. immigration and naturalization laws are extremely complex, it is critical to contact a citizenship attorney or naturalization lawyer who has extensive specialized knowledge and experience in immigration law. The experienced Spanish Immigration Attorneys at Ronzio & Associates have worked with thousands of people in the United States and across the globe in a wide range of immigration issues, including citizenship, permanent residence cards (green cards), nonimmigrant visas, family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, deportation defense, appeals, and relief in federal district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals.
- Employment ImmigrationRonzio & Associates focuses exclusively on immigration law. We stay current on all of the news, information and legislation in business immigration law so we can provide you with the most relevant employment-immigration strategies.

- Student VisasWhen applying for a visa, the foreign national should choose the correct visa that will allow him or her to accomplish his or her goals in the U.S. Each visa category has special requirements and may include restrictions on the type of activity the visa holder may do during his or her stay. For example, student-visa holders are not permitted to work unless they have received special permission. Sometimes it may be necessary for an alien to change his or her immigrant status to another category, like a student visa holder who has been offered permanent employment in the U.S.
- Work VisasAt the law firm of Ronzio & Associates, our Los Angeles work visa lawyers have helped U.S. employers file hundreds of successful H-1B visa applications. Only a potential employer can file an H-1B visa application with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), on behalf of a foreign worker who meets the legal criteria. However, the entire process is a collaborative effort between the employer and the future H-1B employee.
- Investor VisasThe E visas facilitate investment in U.S. businesses and create jobs for U.S. workers. Each type of E visa comes with various requirements and restrictions based upon the treaties in place. However, these visa categories provide greater opportunities for a lower investment than the immigrant investor visa category of EB-5. E visas are generally unlimited in the number of times they can be extended and over time and can open a path to permanent resident status with proper legal planning.
