Why Virtual Immigration Law Works
Once upon a time, you would use the Yellow Pages to hire a local immigration attorney to help you immigrate a family member. Back then, the internet and technology had not yet shattered barriers to international communication.
Driving to a brick-and-mortar office to meet with your immigration lawyer, however far away, was the only game in town.
These days, you have probably arrived at this page through searching on Google, Yahoo, or Bing, or hearing about us on sites like Facebook, TIkTok, or Instagram.
From buying books to downloading your favorite music, the use of internet technology makes many services not only more convenient, but also more effective.
Finding and working with a high quality U.S. licensed immigration attorney does not have to be any different.
Helping Immigrant Families Nationwide Navigate The Immigration Process
Immigration law is complex, time-sensitive, and most significantly, deeply personal. Many individuals and families need reliable legal guidance but cannot easily travel to a physical law office due to distance, work schedules, health issues, or location and travel difficulties.
Our virtual law office was built to overcome such problems, and to serve a broad range of immigrants, facing a variety of legal obstacles, as explained on our Who We Help page.
Clients can meet with an experienced battle-tested immigration attorney online – securely, privately, efficiently, and from anywhere.
Despite the distance apart, our virtual law office allows us to concentrate on what matters most: understanding your immigration goals, evaluating potential risks, fighting denials, and developing strategies for immigration success.
Guiding Clients Through Complex and High-Risk Immigration Cases
Many families who seek legal assistance through a virtual law office face immigration cases that are not simple. Yours may be no different.
In such matters, helping means no arbitrary guessing, no unnecessary rushing. Rather, it requires careful planning, diligent preparation, and thoughtful decision-making.
This approach enables our immigration virtual law office to handle a work with clients from coast-to-coast on a wide range of hard immigration cases that many lawyers decline, on a remote basis, such as: :
- I-601 and I-601A hardship waivers
- Family-based green cards and I-130 petitions
- Visa and consular processing refusals
- Removal defense and cancellation of removal
- Motions to reopen or reconsider
- Immigration denials and appeals
- VAWA self-petitions
- Naturalization and citizenship cases
Our virtual law clients receive the same level of legal analysis, preparation, and advocacy as they would in a traditional in-person law practice.
The privacy of your case will be fully safeguarded from start to finish. We utilize top-of-the-line secure, encrypted portals for each client, ensuring attorney-client confidentiality protections are applied to virtual communications.
And when necessary, we also travel nationwide to help immigrants fight complex cases and earn permanent residency at immigration interviews, hearings, trials, and appeals.
We have one overriding purpose. To help you win even hard cases wherever you live.
Representing Immigrants Through A Secure Virtual Immigration Law Office
When it comes to internet technology, Carlos Batara, the founder of Batara Immigration Law, is not a Johnny-come-lately.
Looking forward, he piloted the firm into providing web-based and video-conferencing services when our immigration office in Riverside opened in 2005, over 20 years ago.
As one of the first offices to use online systems for immigration clients, Batara Immigration Law has been able to guide families from over 125 countries and 47 states in their quest to live and work legally in the United States.
Here are few examples how our virtual law office services can benefit you:
Case Example: International Marriage And Fiance Visa Issues
Esther, a Grammy-award winning singer, met David at a concert in Sweden. She was in the process of moving from Chicago, Illinois to Murrieta, California when they decided to tie the knot. Since David was in the U.S. here on the Visa Waiver Program, their case required a web-based immigration office which could communicate with the parties whether they were in Chicago, Murrieta, or Sweden.
Case Example: Citizenship Claims At The Port Of Entry
Michael, who was born in Canada, owned a business in Phoenix, Arizona. Thirty years ago, under the acquisition of citizenship process, he had become a .U.S. citizen through his U.S. born mother. On his way back from a short visit to Mexico, he was apprehended at San Diego port of entry. His case demanded an immigration lawyer who could maintain consistent contact with Michael’s relatives in California, Arizona, and Canada.
Case Example: Multi-State Asylum And Removal Defense
Wilfredo, a native of Guatemala, was transferred to New York by his company for a 12-month assignment. His work permit was valid under his pending asylum case in San Bernardino. His wife, Beatrice, and children remained behind in Riverside. Just before Wilfredo left, his wife, a native of Peru, was detained for lacking immigration papers. To coordinate her deportation defense meant we needed not only the nationwide ability to work with family members living in New York and Riverside, but also the global capacity to work with relatives in Guatemala and Peru.
Supporting Clients With Ongoing Communication And Case Oversight
Even though our methods are technologically advanced, we’ve stayed true to our heritage.
Personalized attention is our foremost key – as validated by clients across the country who have shared their experiences on our testimonials page.
Because virtual services are tied together through our cloud-based case management system, clients can access our paperless law office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any location nationwide or across the globe through a secure internet connection.
This means you have the flexibility to communicate with us after you put the kids to bed, on the weekends, early in the morning before work, or any other time it is convenient for you.
You simply log into our online client files and leave a message. We’ll respond as quickly as possible.
Clients have the right to expect individualized responses to their concerns.
Our virtual immigration law office system makes that possible, and our approach to immigration law ensures your case receives the thorough, personalized attention it deserves.
No matter where you live in the United States or abroad.

Common Client Questions
- Can You Help Me If I Am Outside The United States?
- Is Virtual Immigration Representation Legitimate?
- How Do I Know If Your Virtual Law Office Is Right For Me?
- What Makes Your Virtual Law Office Different From An Online Form Service?
Can You Help Me If I Am Outside
The United States?
Yes. We can help clients who are outside the United States. Through a virtual law office, remote services including immigration consultations, document preparation, and legal guidance can be provided to individuals and families both nationwide and worldwide.
Is Virtual Immigration Representation Legitimate?
Yes. Virtual immigration representation is legitimate. Immigration law is governed by federal law. Licensed attorneys are permitted to advise clients, prepare filings, and represent clients in immigration matters throughout all 50 states.
How Do I Know If Your Virtual Law Office
Is Right For Me?
A consultation can help determine whether your case can be handled effectively through a virtual law office and whether you feel comfortable working with us on a remote basis. In general, a virtual law office may be right for your situation if your case is paperwork-driven and involves legal analysis, filings, and document preparation that can be handled online.
Most immigration cases fit this model, although some cases do require an in-person appearance at an immigration office or court before a decision is rendered. In such matters, we also represent our virtual clients upon agreement.
What Makes Your Virtual Law Office Different From An Online Form Service?
We are not a “Do It Yourself” service. We are a complete one-stop immigration center that handles all types of cases, no matter how complicated. You get the benefit of our 20+ years experience in a wide variety of matters across the United States.
Most online form service providers require you to go to a website where you input answers to a handful of questions, from which an application is generated. No trained immigration professionals are involved – or are only minimally involved – you are left on your own to identify and assess hidden and less-obvious issues. Our services are vastly different. We do not simply send you to a website and leave you to figure out your issues on your own with no help or guidance. We are there every step of the way, from start to finish.
