Roger Carl Algase
I am a Harvard Law School graduate and New York immigration lawyer with more than 30 years experience in business, professional and family immigration. I have helped many people with H-1B, and O-1 work visas, labor certification green cards and marriage green cards, among other immigration and citizenship cases. I care about my clients, handle all cases personally and am easy to reach by phone or email. I am also a regular writer about immigration law for the well known publication Immigration Daily. I well understand the anxieties and frustrations of people who are dealing with the immigration bureaucracy and I am committed to doing everything I can to make each client's immigration experience as smooth as possible and to bring about a successful result, as I have done for so many people. My Japanese-speaking paralegal has been working with me for the past 20 years, and I owe her more than I can possibly describe for her expertise and dedicated support.in helping our clients.

- Q. I had my Green Card interview on 2/8, the officer did not ask for my Form I-693
- A: In this kind of situation, the best course of action would most likely be to make an Infopass appointment at the office where you were interviewed, and on the appointment day go there with your sealed I-693 envelope from the doctor and ask to see a supervisor. You should not be afraid to let the supervisor know that the interviewing officer forgot to ask for the sealed envelope, and about any other unprofessional behavior by that officer. Best of all would be to consult with an experienced marriage case immigration lawyer and ask him or her to assist you with this.
