• RESIDENCY RENEWAL: Your legal permanent resident card will expire or is expired, and you need to renew it.

• CONSULAR PROCESSING: You want to bring a family member who lives in another country to the United States through a consulate or embassy or your family member lives in the U.S. and must return to their home consulate to complete their case because they are not eligible to do so in U.S.

• REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS: You have a two-year conditional residence card which will expire, and you need to remove conditions jointly with your spouse or alone with a waiver.

• WAIVERS: You wish to become a permanent resident but entered the United States illegally or you want to help your family member who entered the United States illegally stay in the United States and need a waiver for unlawful entry or for another reason that makes him/her ineligible.

• SECTION 245i: A family member or employer filed an initial petition for you before April 30, 2001 and you qualify to become a legal permanent resident based on old law.

• K VISAS FOR FIANCE OF A U.S. CITIZEN: You want to bring your fiancée who lives in another country to the United States because you plan to marry and live together here.

• U VISAS FOR VICTIMS OF QUALIFIED CRIMES: You were the victim of a qualifying crime, suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and collaborated with police. You want to become a permanent resident in the future.

• (DACA) DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS: You arrived in the U.S. before you turned 16 years old and have lived in the U.S. since January 1, 2010. You are currently in school or graduated from high school and qualify for a work permit and a deferral from deportation.

• (PIP) PAROLE IN PLACE- Your parent, spouse or child is or was a member of the U.S. military and you qualify to apply for legal permanent residence.

• (VAWA) VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT: You were abused by your citizen or resident spouse or parent or your spouse died after you entered the United States but before you became a permanent resident and you wish to self-petition for permanent residence.

• (SIJ) SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE: Provides a pathway to permanent residence for children under 18 (sometimes 21) who were abused, abandoned or neglected by one or both of their parents.

• (TPS) TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS: You are from a country that has been designated by the U.S. government to be unsafe due to war or a natural disaster and qualify for a temporary status and work permit.

• WORK PERMITS & RENEWALS: You can work because you have a special status or while you have an immigration case pending or because you won a case that that allows you to work and you need a work permit.

• ADVANCE PAROLE AND TRAVEL PERMITS: You qualify to apply for a travel permit to allow you to travel abroad while you are in a temporary or special status or while your residence is pending.

• RE-ENTRY PERMITS: You are a permanent resident and need to travel abroad for longer than six months and plan to return to the U.S.

• IMMIGRATION BONDS: Your family member was detained by local authorities and transferred to an immigration detention center due to an ICE hold or was arrested by ICE. They may qualify to bond out of detention and continue to fight their immigration case while free from confinement.

• CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL FOR NON-PERMANENT RESIDENT AND PERMANENT RESIDENT ALIEN: This is a defense in immigration court for someone who is facing deportation. Legal permanent residents who committed certain crimes are fighting to keep their green card while those who are not legal permanent residents are fighting to stay in the U.S. and receive a green card.

• CREDIBLE AND REASONABLE FEAR INTERVIEWS: This is the first step in the asylum or withholding of removal process. It is used as a vetting tool to determine if you have a credible fear and viable claim to allow you to continue to present your case. It is a crucial first step.

• ASYLUM, WITHHOLDING OF REMOVAL AND CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE: You want to remain in the United States because you are afraid to return to your home country because you were persecuted due to your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.

• MOTIONS TO REOPEN REMOVAL ORDERS: You were ordered to be deported by an immigration judge in the past, sometimes in your absence because you were not aware you had court, or you failed to show up due to exceptional circumstances. There are now new arguments and evidence in your case and you now qualify to apply for relief such as a green card.

• FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUESTS: You can request information about your immigration history with different immigration agencies to help determine if you qualify to apply for relief or to verify information that the government has about you. Obtaining your records can help determine if you will win or lose a case.

• CHANGE OF STATUS: You currently have a temporary visa and wish to change to a different visa because the purpose of your visit has changed.

• EXTENSION OF STATUS: You want to extend your stay in the U.S. longer than the date you were given when you entered and must do so before your authorized stay expires.

• BUSINESSES & EMPLOYEES: U.S. employers who want to hire qualified foreign workers or foreign nationals who are seeking a job in the U.S. may qualify for different employment-based visas. Entrepreneurs who are looking to invest or expand their business to the U.S. may also have different options.

• ADDITIONAL SERVICES: If you are not entirely certain but believe that you may need assistance regarding your immigration concern, give us a call.
