The Law Office of Mary O’Leary represents U.S. citizens and permanent residents petitioning for family members (such as spouses, fiancés, children, parents and siblings) seeking permanent residence – or green card status – applying from both within the United States and abroad. The Law Office of Mary O’Leary has successfully represented many same-sex families in their immigration cases. We have worked with many families to obtain waivers of bars to immigration due to unlawful presence, criminal convictions, fraud or prior deportations. We also work with couples and individuals to remove the conditions on their residence (I-751 petitions) when necessary. The firm has been successful in representing individuals seeking relief under the Violence Against Women Act or seeking U status.
