About

Massa Viana Law is an immigration-focused law firm founded in 2014 and based in Southborough, Massachusetts, with an additional office in Providence, Rhode Island. The firm serves individuals, families, and professionals across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, providing representation in family-based immigration (marriage-based green cards, fiancé(e) visas, consular processing, removal of conditions), employment-based matters (extraordinary ability EB-1/EB-1A, National Interest Waivers, TN under USMCA, I-9 compliance, cases for public school teachers and other professionals), and healthcare-related immigration (foreign medical graduates, J-1 waivers, H-1B for physicians, Physician Pathway Act, and petitions for physical therapists and nurses). Humanitarian services include Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ), VAWA, U visas, asylum, and Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The team also handles removal defense, including non-LPR cancellation, bond hearings, defensive asylum, and matters related to the Calderon Jimenez settlement, as well as citizenship, provisional waivers, religious worker petitions, relief for Ukrainians, and inadmissibility waivers.

Founded by attorney Antonio Massa Viana—the first known undocumented immigrant attorney admitted in Massachusetts—the firm brings personal insight into the immigration process. Its multilingual team prioritizes clarity and timely case preparation while keeping clients informed throughout each stage. Massa Viana Law contributes hundreds of pro bono hours annually through legal clinics, citizenship and DACA drives, and community initiatives.
