Skilled Philadelphia Immigration Lawyer Helping You Start Anew In America

Immigration law in the United States is complex and always changing. To navigate this often confusing and difficult system, it’s crucial to have an experienced immigration lawyer on your side who can help you every step of the way.

I’m Peter L. Johnston, an immigration attorney representing people throughout Philadelphia, southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. Whether you’re here on a temporary visa and are interested in becoming a permanent resident, or if you’re already a permanent resident and want to become a lawful American citizen, I can guide you through the process to secure your goals.

Pursuing The American Dream With Confidence

Becoming a permanent resident or citizen of the United States is a big decision. You may already work here on a temporary visa, or maybe you are interested in bringing a spouse or other loved one from your home country to join you in Philadelphia. Every immigration case is different and whatever your case may be, I take the time to listen to your story and learn your needs.

I’m committed to providing personalized legal representation in the following areas of immigration:

• Green card: Also known as a permanent resident card, obtaining a green card allows a noncitizen to permanently live and work in the United States. I can help you through the application process to secure permanent residency so you can continue living here lawfully and be able to take advantage of other rights, including owning property and being able to vote.
• Naturalization or citizenship: This process allows immigrants the opportunity to legally become a United States citizen. If you are interested in this path, I can assist you with the application, preparing for the interviews and other necessary steps through the process. Seeking citizenship can take a long time, but I will be with you every step of the way.
• Visas for family members, spouses and others: Family visas and spousal visas allow you to bring loved ones from your home country into the United States. There are many elements involved in these processes. I can help you understand the details so that you may reunite with your loved ones.
• Removal proceedings and deportation defense: If you are facing deportation, you need a skilled attorney on your side who will fight for you. I’m here to advocate for your rights and give you the chance to continue living in America.

Immigration law can be confusing to go through alone. I’m here to walk alongside you through every milestone as you pursue the American dream and build your life here lawfully.
