Family Visas
Family visas, like work visas, are extended to people for a variety of reasons that each have their own specific requirements. The most immediate visas, and the most likely to be issued, is for juvenile children of a U.S. citizen, the parents of a U.S. citizen, or the spouse of a U.S. citizen. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must hold a certain type of visa that will allow you to also bring your family with you.
There are more complex processes for family visas available, that involve bringing family to the country if you are not a naturalized citizen, or the family members that you are requesting to bring are of more distant (or less dependent) relation. This includes siblings or adult children. Keep in mind that simply because the process is more complex, it does not mean that you will not be able to get the outcome you need. This is when an attorney can be extremely helpful.
Deportation Defense
The threat of deportation can be extremely upsetting and life-changing for you, your family, your loved ones, and everyone else involved with the person who may be deported. There are a variety of reasons that a resident of the United States can be ordered to be deported back to their country of origin, but it is important that each person has fair representation, a fair court case, and an outcome that makes sense.
Without the help of an attorney, a deportation case can go very wrong for the defendant, simply because of the complexity of the situation and the legal framework that goes into each case. It is therefore essential that anyone facing a deportation case retains the help of an experienced lawyer to make sure that they are working towards the best possible outcome.
Green Cards
Green cards, otherwise known as Permanent Resident Card, is issued to individuals who have completed a series of requirements and is allowed to remain in the country permanently. Having a green card does NOT mean that the person is a citizen of the United States, and although they are able to enjoy more rights and privileges than a visitor with a temporary visa, there are still many things that the holder must be aware of that could possibly jeopardize their situation.
The application for a green card can be complicated, and the help of an attorney can be indispensable.
Naturalization
Naturalization is the process of becoming a full American citizen. There are many different paths towards citizenship that a person can take, but each has a specific set of requirements that must be met in order to be approved. In addition to these requirements, the forms and paperwork that come along with this process are extensive, and can be extremely overwhelming. In order to make sure that each form is properly completed, that each requirement is met, and that filings are submitted at the appropriate times, hiring an attorney is an extremely responsible idea.
Without an attorney, you will need to learn about each of these forms, the terms and questions being asked, and will need to develop a deep understanding of the overall immigration process. Instead, you can be confident that your attorney is working through the details while you are able to focus on the rest of your life as you prepare to become an official American citizen.
Immigration Appeals
For any process in the immigration system, there is a possibility of appealing a finding. Depending on the complexity of the situation, the appeals process can be extremely long and complicated, and may ultimately end with an entirely new case if the appeal is accepted.
