We believe that immigration law is usually underestimated. In reality, it’s a very complex and dynamic area of the law. We understand that every case is unique and for this reason, we strive to provide unrivaled legal representation in today’s turbulent climate.
Including:
Our firm constantly provides employers and employees with the most appropriate immigration strategies to achieve positive results. We represent businesses petitioning employees, as well as individuals and families undergoing the U.S. immigration process through company petitions.
Permanent residence based on family relationships generally falls into two classes: The first is known as “Immediate Relatives” for which there is no quota or waiting list (Immediate Relatives include unmarried children under the age of 21, spouses, and parents of United States citizens). The second class is known as “Preference Category” for which there is usually a quota and waiting list (these types of petitions include filings by Legal Permanent Residents, siblings, etc.). Our office has ample experience processing all aspects of family petitions within the United States (Adjustment of Status) and through consular processing when beneficiary is currently outside the United States. We are also familiar with inadmissibility waivers required in some cases involving health issues, criminal charges and previous immigration violations.
We habitually assist in the following citizenship matters:
In addition, we constantly advise clients about all naturalization and citizenship matters, including derivative citizenship issues, marriage adjustments, removal proceedings, family-based residency or status, and other immigration law matters, including inquiries about criminal charges.
Removal proceedings are administrative proceedings to determine an individual’s removability under United States immigration law. Removal proceedings are typically conducted in Immigration Court by an immigration judge. The United States Government consistently seeks to place aliens, including those who are lawfully admitted as permanent residents, into removal proceedings. The reasons to commence proceedings against an individual include: Criminal charges, visa overstay, unlawful entry, etc. In many cases, an applicant can seek relief from removal, i.e., deportation. Said relief includes a myriad of waivers that include asylum, Cancellation of removal, Adjustment of Status, etc. Our office represents legal permanent residents, immigrants and visitors who are currently in removal proceedings or are at risk for removal from the U.S. Our experience provides a deep understanding of the deportation process taking into consideration the constant changes in the immigration arena.
An Immigration waiver is required when an individual has a specific immigration violation in his/her record. If an immigration officer (in the United States or abroad) determines that the person is “inadmissible” to the United States, they require a waiver. The same process occurs if a green card holder is subject to criminal penalties in the United States: then the government determines if a person is deportable due to criminal/immigration violations.
