Obtaining a visa to enter the U.S. – as an immigrant or non-immigrant – is a complex, technical, frustrating, and often lengthy process. Having an experienced immigration attorney to assist you ensures you submit the correct documents and helps prevent delays, denials, or other problems.

Being in the country illegally can lead to severe penalties and costly legal problems. Contact our experienced immigration lawyers today for assistance with any of your visa needs.

Immigrant Visas

Immigrant visas are those for aliens who are seeking to remain in the United States on a long-term or permanent basis. This includes the fiancée or spouse of a U.S. citizen and most other family members. Employment and work visas are appropriate for an immigrant who has a U.S. employer sponsor or any American business that wishes to hire a foreign national for full-time employment.

Fiancé Visas

Fiancé visas (fiancée visas) allow immigrants to enter the United States for the purpose of getting married to an American citizen. Also known as the K-1 Fiancé Visa, this process requires submitting an application and waiting for approval. Once approval has been obtained to enter the country, the entering alien must be married within 90 days. After the wedding, we will help you apply for a green card for the new spouse, which is accomplished by submitting an adjustment of status application.

Spouse Visas

We can assist with both immigrant and non-immigrant visas for spouses. The K-3 non-immigrant spouse visa allows the spouse of an American citizen to travel in the United States. The CR-1 immigrant spouse visa provides the spouse of an American citizen to obtain permanent resident status. The process for obtaining marriage visas is extensive and complex. Our spouse visa attorney can assist you with every step of the process.

Family Visas

For family visas, there are multiple options available. Choosing the correct family visa is critical to getting an immigrant relative or family member approved for legal entry into the United States. Immediate family members include the U.S. citizen’s spouse, children (unmarried, under 21), parents, and adopted foreign children. Non-immediate family members extend to a U.S. citizen’s grandchildren, married children, and siblings over the age of 21. Our family visa lawyer can answer your questions about other individuals who might also qualify to obtain a family-based visa.

Employment & Work Visas

Foreign national employees can obtain a visa that allows them to work temporarily in the United States. Permanent immigrant work visas are also available. To successfully obtain work authorization, applicants must choose from multiple types of both temporary and permanent employment visas. Making the right choice and completing the application paperwork correctly is imperative. Our corporate or business immigration attorney can help you identify the correct kind of visa to achieve your goals and assist you and the employer through the entire application, processing and approval processes.

I can't find enough words to thank Kim! She is so amazingly knowledgeable and helped me so much that I can't thank her enough. She answered all questions, gave invaluable advice, and I am so lucky that I had chosen her as a lawyer! Thank you again, Kim!

Response from the owner:It was truly a pleasure meeting with you! The U.S. benefits from individuals like you.

Garrett S.

We cannot thank Kim and her team enough for everything she has done for us. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond with her time, guidance, and support. Her professionalism, knowledge, and compassion made all the difference in our journey, and we truly believe that without her help, the whole process would have been a lot harder.

What sets her apart is not only her expertise, but also dedication she shows to her clients. She always took the time to explain each step clearly, answer our questions thoroughly, and ensure we felt confident and supported throughout the process.

We are deeply grateful for her hard work and commitment, and we look forward to working with her again in the future if needed. We would gladly recommend her to anyone seeking legal help - Kim is, without question, the lawyer you want by your side.

Response from the owner:Thank you! Every attorney is thrilled to have clients like you who were on top of responding to emails.

Buhler Thomas Law assisted our agency with the H1-B visa process. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the process. We appreciated their guidance and support they provided us.

Response from the owner:Autumn, thank you for being fantastic to work with especially when we would reach out on Fridays.

Worked with Kim and Eliza over the last several months. They truly are experts and wonderful to work with. We had a successful outcome as a result of their work!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive review! We truly enjoyed working with you. You will always be one of Eliza's favorites! We appreciate how dedicated you are and quick to respond to emails. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Rebekah H.

Kim was a beacon of clarity during a frustrating and confusing process. I initially tried to file our marriage green card application on my own and only realized later that I had submitted just one of several required forms. I was overwhelmed and worried I’d make serious mistakes. From the moment we started working with Kim, everything changed. She answered all our questions with patience, simplified the entire process, and brought us peace of mind. She even met with us on Christmas Eve to help finalize our packet so we could submit it ASAP. When we got our interview notice, she responded quickly—scheduling a late-night Zoom call to walk us through what to expect and gave us a detailed checklist to stay organized. Thanks to her guidance, we felt confident and prepared—and the interview went smoothly. Kim is not just a knowledgeable attorney, but a kind and supportive person who genuinely cares about her clients. We’re so grateful for her help and can’t recommend her enough!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. You were truly a pleasure to work with. I don't routinely schedule to meet with clients on Christmas Eve or holidays in general. That said, your efforts were so sincere and I could not help but want to help you. Wishing your family much happiness.

Kim, Beca, and the entire team at Buhler Thomas Law were fantastic in our process of securing permanent residency, to say the least. From beginning to end, we received detailed, thorough, timely, and helpful communication about every step of the process. They were always quick to answer questions as well, but above all, we could tell that this team genuinely cared about us. The excitement we felt together as we reached each milestone of the process was tangible and means a lot. I cannot recommend this team enough for any immigration legal needs one might have.

Response from the owner:We have many wonderful clients that we enjoy working with. You two are among our favorites. We appreciate how responsive you bother were to our emails and calls. More importantly though we appreciate how helpful and kind you both were in how you both were in how you communicated. It truly was our pleasure to work with you.

Vale D.

Very impressed with the work that was completed. I've worked with many law firms & attorneys from many different industries. Kim & he team are by far the most impressive in this field than anybody else. I plan to work with them in a few years again. Thanks Kim & team!

Response from the owner:Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your review is so appreciated during this chaotic time in our nation. Our sincerest gratitude for taking this time to write this review.
