Frequently Asked Questions

If you receive a deportation notice, also known as a ‘Notice to Appear’, you should contact us immediately to discuss your options and develop a defense strategy tailored to your case. It is critical that you attend court hearings or risk an order of deportation.

Generally, an applicant must be a lawful permanent resident for five (5) years in order to apply (or three (3) years based upon marriage to a U.S. Citizen). However, to be eligible for approval, additional requirements must be met, including, having good moral character, no outstanding income taxes or child support, and/or not having committed criminal or certain other violations. Accordingly, it is prudent to consult with our immigration attorneys prior to submitting your application to ensure you qualify for naturalization, your application is properly completed, and all required information and documents are submitted with your application to avoid processing delays.

You can sponsor your fiancé(e) for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa to come to the United States to get married, or you can marry him/her abroad and file a spousal petition. If you proceed on the fiancé(e) visa, once the petition is filed and approved, it is forwarded to the U.S. embassy or consulate in your fiancé(e)’s country for further processing and visa issuance. Once the visa is granted and your fiancé(e) is in the U.S., you are required to marry within 90 days and apply for adjustment of status (green card). Alternatively, if you get married and proceed on the spousal petition, once the visa is issued, your spouse will be granted an immigrant visa (green card). It would be worthwhile to consult with our immigration attorneys to determine the best course of action for your unique situation.

Immigration for family members often depends upon whether the individual is recognized as an immediate relative (such as spouse, child, or parent of a US citizen), in which case a visa is available for the individual to immigrate to the U.S. For non-immediate relatives, (such as sibling of a US citizen), the visa wait times can be quite long. Our immigration attorneys are equipped to advise you on wait times, processing times, and assist with preparation of the required documents to file the proper petition for your family member, and continue the process through consular processing to bring your family member to the U.S.

Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have fled their home country due to past persecution or fear returning due to possibility of future persecution. To apply for asylum, you must file your application within one year of your arrival in the U.S. and provide evidence supporting your claim of persecution. You may continue to remain in the U.S. while your application is pending and apply for employment authorization 150 days after the receipt of your application. Thereafter you will be scheduled for an interview or hearing. If your asylum request is granted, you may continue to remain and work in the U.S., and eventually apply for a green card after one year of the grant of your asylum.

The U visa is a nonimmigrant visa for victims of certain qualifying crimes, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, or armed robbery, who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime. It provides protection and legal status in the U.S., and eligibility for applying for a green card three years after approval of the U visa.

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) allows certain victims of domestic violence, including spouses and children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, to self-petition for a green card without relying on the abuser. To qualify you must provide evidence of the abuse and your relationship with the abuser.

Generally, if you are a U.S. citizen and your spouse entered the U.S. with a visa (with a few exceptions), you and your spouse may apply for the spousal petition and the green card application concurrently (adjustment of status) while she/he remains in the U.S. Your spouse may also apply for work authorization and travel permit while the adjustment of status is pending. Please note that there are other factors that need to be considered prior to filing for adjustment of status in the U.S., such as your spouse’s visa type upon entry, criminal background, history of immigration violations, and others. As such, it is critical to consult with our immigration attorneys to determine eligibility prior to applying with USCIS.

Individuals who apply for a green card based on marriage to a U.S. citizen (USC) or legal permanent resident (LPR), who have been married for less than two years, are granted a “conditional green card”, valid for two years. To obtain a permanent green card, you and your petitioning USC or LPR spouse must apply together by filing Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions, within 90 days of the expiration of your conditional green card; and include proof of joint assets, income tax returns, and affidavits from at least two individuals attesting to the validity of your marriage. If you are no longer married, you must still need to file Form I-751, but in addition to including evidence that the marriage was genuine, you must include a copy of your divorce judgment, and a request for a “waiver” of the joint filing requirement. It is important to note that the failure to file your I-751 petition in a timely manner could result in a termination of your conditional resident status and being placed in removal proceedings. It is therefore crucial that you file your I-751 petition prior to expiration of your conditional residency, regardless of your marital status.
