If you live in Virginia Beach and file Form I-485 inside the U.S., you need a medical exam by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. The results go on Form I-693. Most green card applicants do not need a lawyer. A simple case with no past problems can often be filed on your own.

A lawyer can help when your case is not simple. That includes past visa problems, a criminal record, a prior denial, or removal proceedings. Some people hire one just to review forms before filing. The Virginia Beach firms below come from Google Maps data and our own scoring. Check any lawyer with the Virginia State Bar before you hire.

How we ranked these immigration lawyers

We collected immigration lawyer results from Google Maps around Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach: FAQs

Do I need an immigration lawyer to get a green card in Virginia Beach?

No. An immigration lawyer is not required for a green card. Many people file on their own, especially when their history is clean and their case is simple. A lawyer is often useful for complex cases, such as past visa problems, criminal records, prior denials, or removal proceedings. Talk to a few firms and compare.

How can I check that a Virginia Beach immigration lawyer is licensed?

Use the Virginia State Bar website to look up a lawyer's license and any public record. You can also ask the firm who will handle your case and whether that person is a licensed attorney. Be careful with anyone who is not a lawyer or an accredited representative. Ask questions before you pay anything.

What should I ask at a first meeting with an immigration lawyer?

Ask what they think of your case, what steps come next, and who in the office will work on it. Ask what documents to bring and how they will contact you. Ask how long they usually take to reply. Write down the answers so you can compare firms later.
