Lee & Godshall-Bennett LLP

How we fight it.

Precision review
The firm conducts detailed reviews of government reasoning to identify factual or legal errors. Attorneys partner with clients to develop tailored evidentiary records addressing grounds like inadmissibility, prior immigration history, or alleged misrepresentation.
Consistent advocacy
The firm leads all communication with consular posts and federal agencies. Clients receive honest guidance, timely updates, and straightforward explanations throughout the process — from initial denial through reconsideration, waivers, and appeals.

Why it works.

Consular experience
Deep knowledge of consular procedures, embassy practices, and the grounds on which visa denials are issued and challenged — including Supreme Court-level litigation.
Legal command
Mastery of the statutory and regulatory framework governing visa adjudication, consular nonreviewability, and the procedural avenues for challenging denials.
Tailored strategy
Every visa denial case is different. We build individualized approaches based on the specific grounds for denial, the client’s history, and the available legal remedies.
Strong casework
Meticulous preparation of evidentiary records, legal briefs, and communications with agencies and consular posts — built to withstand scrutiny at every level.
Clear communication
Clients receive timely updates, honest assessments of their options, and plain-language explanations of a complex and often opaque system.
Determined advocacy
We pursue every available avenue to reunite families and restore opportunity. A denial is not the end — it is the beginning of the fight.
