Carroll & Associates can guide families and individuals through the maze of U.S. government agency regulations and help each client achieve his or her immigration goals. We draw on our many years of experience with virtually every type of immigration-related matter to ensure that our clients receive reliable guidance and positive outcomes. Our legal team includes not only experienced immigration attorneys, but also a skilled and knowledgeable staff of para-professionals, all of whom are dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and delivering results.



Because of the depth and breadth of our experience, our practice encompasses not only the more common types of immigration matters, but also those that are unique, specialized or highly challenging. We are familiar with agency rules and procedures utilized by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Department of State (DOS), National Visa Center (NVC), and consulates and embassies worldwide.
