Immigration

The United States allows its Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents to petition for family members to become Lawful Permanent Residents themselves. However, these family members must fall within in a specific category defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act. For Citizens, the scope includes Immediate family members and family-based preference categories which are limited, based on the familial relationship to the U.S. Citizen and, if applicable, the availability of a visa. For Permanent Residents, the scope is limited to their spouse, unmarried children under the age of 21, and unmarried children that are 21 or older.

“Humanitarian Immigration” refers to foreign individuals that are fleeing their home country and hoping to immigrate to the United States due to any past persecution, fear of future persecution, oppression, displacement due to natural disasters, or any other emergency circumstances. To assist these individuals, the United States has implemented several forms of relief, such as, Asylum, TPS, DACA, U Visa’s, T Visa’s, VAWA, etc.

“Deportation Defense” refers to the representation of an individual before an immigration judge. If you have been issued a Notice to Appear (“NTA”), that means you have been placed in immigration proceedings. Generally, immigration proceedings consist of a Master Calendar Hearing and an Individual Hearing. The purpose of these hearings is to respond to the allegations made in the NTA, informing the judge of the relief being sought, and why that relief is adequate. Thus, having an attorney is very important and will only help to ensure that you may remain with your family in the United States.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of the United States defines which foreign citizens may or may not enter the U.S. or adjust status; these are known as grounds of inadmissibility. For some of you, being inadmissible is the barrier between you and your dream of immigrating to the U.S. However, for many other non-citizens,
there may be a waiver available to overcome their inadmissibility. All waivers require a complex legal analysis to ensure its approval. Let us be your advocate!
