Smart, Creative U.S. Immigration Law Solutions

Your Dedicated Immigration And Naturalization Attorney In Columbus

Last updated on January 22, 2026

Going through the U.S. immigration system can be challenging, but the right legal guidance can transform confusion into clarity. At Harrison-Donaldson, Attorney at Law, my team and I do not just file forms. We build strategies to help you achieve your specific immigration goals.

My name is Kimberly Harrison-Donaldson, and I am an immigration lawyer with over two decades of experience. Whether you are seeking U.S. citizenship, petitioning for a relative or hiring international talent, you need an advocate who sees the whole picture. Based in Ohio and Texas and serving clients nationwide, I provide the hands-on representation necessary to secure my clients’ future in the United States.

Securing U.S. Citizenship Through Naturalization

Transitioning from a green card to full U.S. citizenship provides permanent security. It grants you new rights, such as voting, running for most public offices and increased protection against deportation under U.S. law.

As your immigration attorney, I will guide you through every step of the N-400 (Application for Naturalization). Specifically, I will review your eligibility, making sure you meet all physical presence and continuous residency requirements. I can also assist in addressing any history that could impact your “good moral character” standing before we file.

Keeping Families Together Through Immigration

U.S. immigration law offers different pathways for family members depending on their relationship to you. I assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents with petitions involving:

  • Immediate relative status: U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, parents and unmarried children under 21. Because there is no cap on these visas, the process is generally faster and not subject to a waitlist.
  • Preference categories: For other relationships – such as siblings and adult children of U.S. citizens, or the spouses of lawful permanent residents – Congress sets a limit on how many visas are issued each year. I walk my clients through the “priority date” system and help them prepare for when a visa number becomes available.

Regardless of the category, I will work with you to compile the specific evidence required for your I-130 petition. My goal is to submit a complete, accurate package to USCIS to prevent unnecessary delays or requests for evidence.

Visa Solutions For Professionals And Employers

In a global economy, access to talent is essential. I advise employers and professionals in Ohio and Texas and throughout the nation on the specific legal pathways available to secure work authorization for foreign national employees, including:

  • Non-immigrant (temporary) visas: Strategies for bringing workers to the U.S. for a specific period. This includes H-1B visas for specialty occupations, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican professionals and O-1 visas for individuals with extraordinary ability.
  • Immigrant (permanent) visas: Securing green cards for valuable employees. This often involves the PERM labor certification process, an immigrant petition and eventually the green card application.

I often work closely with human resources departments to manage these strict compliance requirements. As your immigration lawyer, I will strive to make sure your business meets all standards set by the Department of Labor and USCIS.

Customized Legal Strategies For Unique Histories

No two immigration cases are alike. Many clients come to me with complicated histories, such as visa overstays or expired status. Even in cases like these, pathways to a green card may exist depending on:

  • How you originally entered the country
  • Your relationship to U.S. citizens
  • Changes in federal policy

If you are currently in the U.S. without valid status, it is critical to speak with an attorney before filing any paperwork. I will take the time to review your full immigration history and provide an honest, personalized analysis of your options.
