Our Immigration Practice Areas

As of January 2025, approximately 53.3 million immigrants lived in the United States. If you are hoping to immigrate to the U.S. or are stalled at some stage in the process, it is crucial to hire an attorney who can support you. Immigration is not always a straightforward process in the U.S., especially given the current climate, and having an attorney on your side can make all the difference when it comes to seeking the outcome you most desire.

At Hong Immigration Law, whatever your immigration case might involve, we are here to represent your interests and protect your future. Our team can serve you in the following immigration-related areas:

• Family-based immigration. At Hong Immigration Law, we understand how difficult it is to be separated from your loved ones. We also know just how frustrating the U.S. immigration system can be. Thanks to places like the Mall of America and the Bell Museum, Minneapolis is a popular place to raise a family, and nearly 65% of legal immigration every year involves family-based visas. We are here to protect your family’s immigration rights.
• Green cards and citizenship. At Hong Immigration Law, we are here to assist foreign nationals in obtaining permanent residence through several forms of green cards, including employment-based green cards, family-sponsored green cards, and the adjustment of your status from a non-immigrant visa to an official green card. Should you also seek official citizenship, we can help verify your eligibility and assist with the application process.
• Employment-based immigration. America is a land of new opportunities, and nearly half a million immigrants call the state of Minnesota their home. Whether you’ve been hired by a new tech start-up or as a family physician, Hong Immigration Law is here to help you and your sponsoring employer seek approval for employment-based immigration, including permanent residence when applicable. 
• Deportation defense. One of the most difficult cases faced in immigration law is deportation. Certain criminal convictions can place a non-citizen at risk of removal from the United States. Some serious offenses may trigger mandatory deportation consequences, while others can still lead to removal depending on the circumstances. These offenses may include:
  • Drug possessionDriving while intoxicatedFraudTax evasionDomestic violence or assault
  • Fake immigration documents

No matter whether you’re seeking an employment-based green card or are looking for a defense against possible deportation, Hong Immigration Law is here to protect you. As a proud immigrant himself, attorney Sung Woo Hong is here to dedicate his time to your unique case and offer you honesty and transparency you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Immigration is difficult, and the process can be confusing. At Hong Immigration Law, we are here to walk you through every step and ensure you understand the path laid out before you.
