Immigration lawyers in Virginia

Virginia features two of the busiest immigration courts on the East Coast: the Arlington Immigration Court and the Annandale Immigration Court, which hear both adult and juvenile dockets. The Farmville Detention Center handles detained calendars.

The Arlington Asylum Office adjudicates affirmative asylum filings for the mid-Atlantic region. Green card interviews and N-400 naturalizations are conducted at the Washington Field Office in Fairfax, the Norfolk Field Office, and the Richmond Field Office.

Federal petitions for review from Virginia immigration courts fall under the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which requires strict compliance with statutory filing deadlines and detailed brief submissions.
