Our Legal Team
At The Scheer Immigration Law Group in Morristown, NJ, we focus exclusively on immigration law, handling everything from visas and green cards to deportation defense. With over 25 years of experience, our team is known for delivering knowledgeable, effective representation to clients across the U.S.
Immigration Counsel for Families, Individuals, and Employers
Immigration decisions can affect where you live, whether you can work, when your family can reunite, and how you respond to a government deadline. The Scheer Immigration Law Group represents clients in Morristown and throughout New Jersey in family, employment, humanitarian, citizenship, and removal matters.
Our attorneys begin by learning the facts, identifying the agencies and deadlines involved, and explaining realistic options. Immigration law is federal, but New Jersey clients may still need to attend local biometrics appointments, USCIS interviews, immigration-court hearings, or employer meetings.
Immigration Matters We Handle
- Family immigration: petitions for spouses, parents, children, siblings, and fiancé(e)s; adjustment of status; consular processing; waivers; and related evidence. Visit our family immigration page.
- Green cards and permanent residence: evaluating eligibility, filing strategy, visa availability, interviews, and conditional-residence issues. See our New Jersey green card guidance.
- Temporary visas: visitor, student, exchange, professional, investor, intracompany, extraordinary-ability, and other nonimmigrant categories. Learn about nonimmigrant visas.
- Business and employment immigration: temporary workers, permanent sponsorship, labor-certification strategy, investors, and company compliance. Review our business immigration services.
- Citizenship and naturalization: eligibility, residence and physical-presence questions, good-moral-character issues, disability accommodations, and interview preparation.
- Humanitarian protection: U visas, T visas, VAWA self-petitions, asylum-related matters, Temporary Protected Status, and other relief when available.
- Removal and deportation defense: court strategy, bond questions, applications for relief, motions, and coordination with related USCIS filings. See our deportation defense page.
What to Expect From an Immigration Case Review
- Clarify the goal. The first step is identifying the desired outcome and any urgent deadline, travel plan, job change, or court date.
- Review the history. Prior entries, exits, petitions, visas, arrests, employment, marriages, and government decisions can change the available options.
- Compare possible paths. A filing that works for one person may create risk for another. The category, procedure, timing, and evidence must fit the facts.
- Prepare a complete record. Forms, translations, civil documents, financial evidence, employer records, and declarations should be consistent and responsive.
- Plan for agency action. Cases may involve biometrics, requests for evidence, interviews, consular appointments, or immigration-court hearings.
Problems That Deserve Early Attention
Speak with counsel before filing or traveling if the case involves an overstay, entry without inspection, unauthorized employment, prior removal order, criminal charge, false claim to citizenship, fraud or misrepresentation concern, prior petition by a different sponsor, or a missed deadline. A rushed filing can make a difficult problem harder to correct.

New Jersey Immigration Frequently Asked Questions
Do immigration lawyers need to be located in the same state as the case?
Immigration law is federal, and many matters can be handled across state lines. Local knowledge can still help with New Jersey appointments, employers, records, and court logistics.
How long will my immigration case take?
Timing depends on the benefit requested, visa availability, filing location, interviews, background checks, and agency workload. Published processing times are estimates, not guarantees.
Should I file forms before speaking with a lawyer?
A filing becomes part of the immigration record. When there are prior denials, overstays, arrests, removal proceedings, or inconsistent information, a legal review before filing can help identify risks.
Can an immigration attorney guarantee approval?
No. Government agencies and courts make the decision. An attorney can evaluate options, prepare the filing, address evidence, and advocate for the client, but cannot promise a result.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring passports, visas, I-94 records, notices, prior applications, court documents, criminal records, and a timeline of entries, exits, marriages, employment, and important deadlines.
Can the firm help with both USCIS and immigration court matters?
The firm handles a range of affirmative immigration filings and removal-defense matters. The appropriate strategy depends on the current agency, procedural posture, and available relief.
