Kyle K. Morishita
Personal Injury & Immigration Attorney, Public Speaker
I help injured clients from California to Nevada and immigrants worldwide.
I received honors from Chambers and Partners, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and Martindale-Hubbell.
During World War II, the U.S. government detained my U.S. citizen grandparents because of their Japanese ancestry. Learning about this history and serving as my grandfather's caretaker inspired me to protect immigrants’ rights.
In my legal practice, I apply principles I learned from a ten-day silent meditation course, yoga, and coaching basketball. I serve on the Board of Trustees for the Nevada Bar Foundation and a racial justice task force.

- Q. Is it hard to apply alone for F I130 and K3 visa?
- A: Form I-130 and Form I-129F are not overly complex on their faces. However, whether you should hire an attorney depends on the specific facts of your case. So, it is usually best to, at least, consult with an attorney. Additionally, USCIS approves either application, completing consular processing, including uploading civil documents, can be a tedious process, which an attorney can potentially streamline for you.
- Q. My green card expired a year ago is there a way to get a extention to go back home and come back and file citizenship
- A: If you want to travel outside of the United States, you need a valid, unexpired passport. Additionally, it is best to have proof your permanent residency. So, you should file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. After filing, you will likely receive a receipt notice or a biometrics appointment notice. If you receive a biometrics appointment notice, be sure to take a valid passport and your expired permanent resident card to the appointment.
- Q. My wife is overseas and pregnant. Should I wait for the baby to be born to sponsor?
- A: Depending on whether you live in the United States and when you lived in the United States, if you are a U.S. citizen, your child may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth. You should speak with an immigration attorney.
