Connecticut, CT
Immigration lawyer for Connecticut families
Clients across Connecticut work with the firm by phone, by video or in person. Immigration law is federal, so the same rules apply in every town; what changes is which USCIS office or court handles your case.
One set of rules, statewide
Immigration law is federal law. Whether you live on the shoreline, in Hartford or in the northwest corner, your spouse files the same Form I-485 and the U.S. citizen files the same Form I-130. What changes from place to place is logistics: which USCIS field office interviews you, which Application Support Center takes your fingerprints, and, for anyone in removal proceedings, the Hartford Immigration Court.
How the firm works with clients across the state
From the office in Branford, Neal E. Guttenberg works with clients across Connecticut by phone, by video or in person. The firm is available 7 days a week. That matters for families where one spouse works nights, or where the U.S. citizen petitioner lives in one town and the relatives they are sponsoring live somewhere else entirely.

Where is the immigration court for Connecticut?
The Hartford Immigration Court is in the AA Ribicoff Federal Building and Courthouse, 450 Main Street, Suite 628, Hartford, CT 06103. It is open Monday to Friday except federal holidays, and every visitor goes through security screening. Your hearing notice states the date, time and courtroom.
I live elsewhere in Connecticut. Can the firm still help?
Yes. Immigration law is federal, so the forms and rules are the same wherever you live in the state. The firm offers phone, video or in-person sessions, and its site notes that it works with clients in all 50 states and worldwide.
Who decides Social Security Disability claims in Connecticut?
The Social Security field office checks financial eligibility, then sends the claim to Disability Determination Services, a state agency that decides whether the medical condition is severe enough to qualify. Appeals go to reconsideration, then a hearing before an administrative law judge.
