Shiao Law Services
I work with individuals, families, and businesses navigating U.S. immigration at all stages of life and work. My clients include families seeking stability, professionals and employers pursuing work authorization, creatives building careers, and those facing urgent or complex immigration challenges. No matter the case, I evaluate options carefully, explain risks and possibilities clearly, and guide each client with steady, informed advocacy.
KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER
Family Immigration
Family immigration matters are often deeply personal and emotionally complex. I assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents with petitions for spouses, children, parents, and other qualifying relatives, as well as related adjustment of status and consular processing. My approach is careful and detail-oriented, ensuring petitions are prepared thoughtfully and with long-term immigration goals in mind.

I advise businesses, employers, and professionals on employment-based immigration options, including temporary and permanent visa pathways. My experience includes working with accomplished artists, musicians, chefs, entrepreneurs, and seasonal employers, as well as companies navigating workforce needs.

STANDING WITH YOU EVERY STEP
Removal Defense
Facing removal proceedings can be frightening and disorienting. I represent individuals in immigration court, working to assess available defenses, procedural options, and forms of relief. Whether a case involves cancellation of removal, asylum-based claims, or other legal strategies, I approach removal defense with seriousness, preparation, and respect for the stakes involved.
HUMANITARIAN LEGAL SUPPORT
Asylum & Hardship
Asylum and hardship-based immigration matters often involve extraordinary life circumstances. I assist individuals seeking protection in the United States, as well as clients pursuing hardship waivers and other humanitarian relief. These cases require both legal precision and sensitivity, and I work closely with clients to present their stories clearly, accurately, and persuasively.
