Family-Based Immigration

Family members of foreign citizens can sponsor those who wish to apply for an immigration visa in the USA. To be eligible, the law requires that sponsors must be immediate family members, 21 years of age, and must be either U.S. citizens or U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents.

Family-based immigration visa types include:

Immediate Relative - The number of immigrants is not limited per year but the case must involve immediate family members such as parents, siblings, children, or spouses.

Family Preference - The number of people granted visas is limited per year. These cases involve distant family members

Asylum, Deportation and Removal

Asylum is when the United States grants entry into the country to individuals seeking protection from potential violence or persecution in their home country. Although many refugees seeking asylum are under serious threat, they are still responsible for proving they will be harmed if they return home.

Those who are not granted asylum may face deportation. Deportation is when an immigrant is removed from the U.S. and banned from returning for a set period of time. Due to potential deportation, most immigrants apply for both asylum and withholding of removal at the same time.

Asylum seekers can be overwhelmed by immigration proceedings. The process is complex, therefore it is significantly important to find an attorney who has experience with the applications and requirements to be granted asylum or defense against removal. If you are facing either of these situations, schedule a consultation with us today.

Bond & Parole

Immigrants in the United States can sometimes qualify for temporary release through bond and parole. Release through bond is granted when the individual is eligible to pay a specific amount determined by the immigration judge that grants them temporary release. Asylum seekers or individuals with a criminal record are not eligible for bond. Individuals granted bonds are still required to appear at future immigration hearings.

Parole is a temporary release without payment however individuals must prove they are in fear of persecution if they return to their home country. These individuals must pass the "credible fear interview" and await approval for release from an officer from ICE. These results are never guaranteed but the likelihood of succeeding is greatly increased by working with the right attorney.

Approval for bond and parole requires knowledgable insight into how the immigration system operates. If you or a family member requires guidance, please give us a call to schedule your free consultation.

LPR & Non-LPR Cancellation of Removal

Lawful permanent residents (LPR) otherwise referred to as "green card holders" in the United States can be removed if they commit certain crimes, fraud, or abandonment. To cancel the removal, they must organize a defensive case for cancellation of removal.

Individuals who have entered the United States without inspection and are facing "removal", may apply for a Non-LPR Cancellation of Removal. Individuals are eligible if they have been in the United States for 10 consecutive years, have not been convicted of certain offenses, can prove "good moral character" and that returning home would result in exceptional hardship. If the individual is able to prove this, they will qualify for their green card. We can handle these extremely difficult cases to give you the greatest potential to win your case. Call us today!

Voluntary Departure

The process of voluntary departure occurs when an individual voluntarily leaves the U.S. The benefits of voluntary departure include the ability to re-apply for citizenship in the future while avoiding a deportation charge. The individual is given a specific amount of time in order to leave the country and may reapply in the future. This is the best option if the individual is considering re-entry to the country sometime in the future.

By working with an attorney who can help you correctly fill out the required forms before deportation occurs, you increase your chances of returning. Give us a call today so we can help you with the departure process.

Protection Against the Convention of Torture

Individuals that do not qualify for asylum, may seek approval for protection against the convention of torture. If you fear that you will be tortured if returned to your home country, you may be eligible for protection.

Due to the weight of the situation, we highly recommend working with an attorney who is deeply invested in your case. Our law offices take on a select number of cases so we can give each case the attention and time that is required to win. Give us a call today for a free consultation.
