Respected Immigration Attorney in Seattle

Family Petitions & Permanent Residence Attorney Serving Seattle And Beyond

Some individuals are eligible to apply for adjustment of status (greencard) within the U.S.; others are required to apply for their greencard at a U.S. consulate abroad. If you would like to inquire about which process is the option in your particular case, Kati would be happy to walk you through the process.

Examples of family-based petitions include:

I-130, Petition for Alien Relative
245(i), Adjustment of Status
I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
Consular Processing
DS-260, Immigrant Visa applications
I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé
I-131, Parole-in-Place
I-751, Removal of Conditions

Some applicants (though not all) may also be eligible to apply for a work permit and social security number while these applications are pending. To discuss your eligibility for work authorization, it is highly recommended you schedule a consultation with the attorney. Also, given the continuous changes in the law, Kati strongly encourage a full legal evaluation before you proceed with any immigration application.

Kati is very passionate about what she does. We hired her to help my husband become a US permanent resident. She was always available to answer any questions we had and she helped make the process easy on our part. She explained everything in detail and let us know what to expect. She always kept up on every process and we never experienced any delays on her part. Kati is a very kind person and I highly recommend her. Thanks to Kati and her hard work, my husband is a permanent resident, a business owner, and he is able to come home every day to our children.

Kati has been an excellent lawyer and a great help to us. I cannot imagine not having her help with our legal needs and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing immigration assistance.

Excellent lawyer. I can recommend it 100%, it will take your case seriously, it will keep you informed, and it will notify you quickly if it receives a response from the USCIS department. Speak English and Spanish. The lawyer and the assistant are bilingual.

My name is Maria. I am so thankful that Kati Ortiz and her team crossed paths with me and my family. I thought after my husband had been detained by immigration and ordered deported I would be a single mother. Kati was kind to walk us through the legal process and not only allow him to stay but also obtain legal status. Now, I not only have my husband by my side, we have two daughters he will be able to see grow up. Kati helped my husband obtain his residency and assisted him with his citizenship. Our process started in 2010, officially got permanent residency in 2017, and citizenship in 2022. Although not all cases take that long, Kati and her team made it as easy as possible, always answered all our questions and were easily accessible. Their help through all this made me feel I was not alone. It was by far the most difficult time of my life, the most uncertain in my eyes. Through it all Kati was able to give me back the life I had envisioned, dreamed of, my family would never be split again. I am blessed to have met Kati and her team. I will forever be grateful!
