OUR AREAS OF PRACTICE:
Asylum
Asylum is a protection available to individuals who have fled dangers in their home countries and meet certain criteria. Eventually, these individuals may be eligible to apply for Lawful Permanent Residency, and ultimately, citizenship.
Immigration Court Representation
Individuals who have cases before the immigration court may have various removal or deportation defenses available to them, including asylum, cancellation of removal, and voluntary departure. They may also seek adjustment of status in certain circumstances.
Employment Authorization
Permission to work in the United States is available to limited groups of individuals who meet specific criteria. These individuals can receive an Employment Authorization Document to present to their employer for verification of that permission.
Adjustment of Status
Certain individuals may apply to adjust their status with USCIS or the immigration court and receive Lawful Permanent Resident status through a family petition or other means.
Citizenship
Lawful Permanent Residents may become United States citizens through the process of naturalization, and other individuals may have their citizenship confirmed through other processes, depending on the circumstances of their cases.
Visas
Various visas are available to certain categories of individuals, including victims of crimes, victims of abuse, and juveniles. These include T-visas, U-visas, VAWA, and SIJ Status visas.
DACA
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is available to certain individuals who were brought to the United States as children during a specific time period. Although new DACA applications are currently being accepted, only renewal applications are currently being processed by USCIS.
Temporary Protected Status
The TPS program allows eligible citizens of countries that the United States recognizes as unsafe to live and work in the United States for a given period of time.
Appeals
When your case is denied by USCIS or the Immigration Court, you have a limited period of time during which you can appeal that decision and request your case be reconsidered or the decision reversed.
