An Award-Winning Former USCIS Officer and Supervisor Working for You
Watkins Immigration Law is a boutique immigration law firm focused solely on representing clients before The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Attorney Mike Watkins uses his in-depth knowledge of the immigration system to provide the best possible representation to his clients. With over 10 years of extensive experience as a former Immigration Services Officer and Supervisory Immigration Services Officer with USCIS, he takes this unique perspective into the agency’s inner-workings to help craft the strongest possible legal arguments on his clients’ behalf.
By focusing only on immigration matters that he has personally worked on over his time with the agency, he ensures each client receives un-rivaled experience in their representation.
Our Mission
Our firm has a simple goal: focus on what we do best and provide outstanding representation to our clients. We only work on cases for our clients where our experience and insights can make a difference between an approval and a denial. While this means the case types we accept may be fewer than most other immigration firms, you will not find a more knowledgeable advocate than our firm for the cases we do accept.

“Our attitude towards immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal. We have always believed it possible for men and women who start at the bottom to rise as far as the talent and energy allow. Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances.”
- Senator Robert F. Kennedy
What sets us apart from other law firms?
EXPERIENCE
Immigration law is complex and always evolving. Whether it’s a new policy manual update from USCIS, a BIA precedent decision, or new legislation, it’s not enough for your attorney to just know the law. Understanding how an agency interprets and implements a new policy can make all the difference in your case. While other firms are often left guessing when a new policy or procedure is announced by the agency, we can provide the guidance you need thanks to over a decade of experience helping write the Agency’s policy and procedure documents.
CLIENT FOCUSED
Our collaborative approach reduces waiting time and the possibility of errors. We don’t ask you to “just drop off your documents;” we take the time to guide you through the entire process. We use a dedicated client portal where we can provide real time updates on your case, you can upload all documents needed, and you have access to review your filing.
