Navigating Your Immigration Journey with Confidence
In the rapidly evolving landscape of 2026, securing a New York immigration lawyer who understands the specific nuances of the local federal infrastructure is more critical than ever. Cohen Immigration Group provides aggressive, detail-oriented advocacy for individuals and families navigating the complex corridors of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within the New York City metropolitan area.
At Cohen Immigration Law Group, we are committed to delivering strategic, compassionate, and expert legal representation across all areas of immigration law—led by Raisa Cohen, a retired U.S. Immigration Judge, former ICE prosecutor, and proud immigrant.
With nearly 20 years of experience across the courtroom, federal government, and private practice, we bring a rare, 360-degree perspective to every case. Our deep understanding of the immigration system—combined with a personal connection to the immigrant journey—allows us to approach each matter with clarity, precision, and empathy.
Whether you’re facing removal proceedings, applying for asylum, seeking a green card, or pursuing U.S. citizenship, we’re here to guide you with unwavering commitment and courtroom-tested strategy. You’re not just another case—you’re our mission.
Our firm’s proximity to 26 Federal Plaza, the nerve center of New York’s immigration system, allows us to provide timely, on-the-ground support for our clients. Whether you are scheduled for an adjustment of status interview at the New York Field Office or a critical biometrics appointment at an Application Support Center (ASC) in Lower Manhattan, our attorneys ensure you are prepared for the strict security protocols and rigorous questioning typical of the Manhattan USCIS headquarters.
We specialize in high-stakes representation before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). With the 2026 procedural updates affecting the New York – Federal Plaza Immigration Court, having a legal team that frequently appears before local Immigration Judges is an indispensable advantage. We handle everything from master calendar hearings to complex individual (merits) hearings, ensuring your defense against removal is built on a solid foundation of current federal case law.
