Best immigration lawyers in Cambridge, MA

  • 10 immigration lawyers ranked
  • 4.9 average Google rating

Many people in Cambridge apply for a green card from inside the U.S. by filing Form I-485. Most cases do not need a lawyer. But some do. If you have a past visa problem, a criminal record, an old denial, or a case in removal proceedings, an immigration lawyer can help you understand your choices before you file.

A lawyer is not part of the medical exam either. A USCIS-designated civil surgeon does the exam and completes Form I-693. A lawyer can still help you plan the timing, since USCIS generally wants the I-693 filed together with the I-485. The list below uses Google Maps data and our own scoring. Treat it as a starting point, then call a few offices and ask questions.

How we ranked these immigration lawyers

We collected immigration lawyer results from Google Maps around Cambridge and removed government offices and unrelated businesses. Each listing gets a score based on its Google rating, adjusted for the number of reviews so a few 5-star reviews do not outrank hundreds of strong ones. Listings that also show up in Google's top results get a small boost. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and never change the ranked list. Read our editorial policy.

Immigration lawyers in Cambridge: FAQs

Do I need a lawyer to file for a green card in Cambridge?

No. An immigration lawyer is not required for a green card, and many people file on their own. A lawyer can help with complex cases, such as past visa problems, criminal records, prior denials or removal proceedings. Only a licensed lawyer can tell you what fits your situation.

How should I choose an immigration lawyer in Cambridge?

Start with a short phone call. Ask what kinds of cases the office handles, who will work on your file, and how they keep clients updated. Ask if there is a charge for the first talk. Compare a few offices before you decide, and trust your own comfort level, not just star ratings.

Does hiring a lawyer change my medical exam?

No. The exam works the same way. A USCIS-designated civil surgeon does it and fills out Form I-693. The civil surgeon must sign the form no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485, and USCIS generally wants both filed together. A lawyer can help you line up that timing.
