Immigration Lawyer in Washington, DC

DC-licensed representation for District residents navigating family immigration, removal defense, asylum, and citizenship.

Audrey M. Wandji Tchamda is licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia, giving DC residents direct access to a locally licensed attorney for immigration matters, alongside tax and bankruptcy work. We work with clients across every DC ward on family-based petitions, marriage green cards, removal defense, asylum, and naturalization.

Our office is in nearby Alexandria, Virginia, a short trip from downtown DC, and we offer both virtual consultations and in-person meetings for District residents.

USCIS Services for DC Residents

USCIS's Washington Field Office, which despite its name is physically located at 2675 Prosperity Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, handles green card interviews, naturalization ceremonies, and other in-person USCIS appointments for District of Columbia residents. We prepare DC clients for exactly this office when their case requires an in-person appointment.

Who We Serve

  • DC residents across every ward pursuing family-based immigration
  • Individuals and families facing removal proceedings in immigration court
  • DC-based professionals and entrepreneurs needing business immigration counsel
  • Green card holders in the District pursuing naturalization
  • Asylum seekers and humanitarian relief applicants living in DC

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your attorneys actually licensed in DC?

Wandji Tchamda is licensed in the District of Columbia and is currently pursuing bar admission in Maryland. Sierra J. Murph is licensed in New York and is currently pursuing bar admission in Virginia.

Where will my USCIS interview take place if I live in DC?

Most DC residents are scheduled for interviews at USCIS's Washington Field Office, which is physically located in Fairfax, Virginia, not in the District itself. We prepare clients for the actual location of their scheduled appointment.
