Immigration - An Overview

Immigration is the act of entering a country with the intention of permanently living and working there. The multi-step process involved in becoming an immigrant can be daunting. An immigration attorney can be an invaluable resource and advocate in navigating this process. If you are facing an immigration issue, call our firm today.

Basic Immigration Laws

Federal immigration law deals with myriad issues regarding the rights and duties of foreign nationals in the United States. Federal law defines people's immigration status and their immigration options, with a specific focus on their reasons for coming to the US. Immigration laws also determine if a person is in the country illegally and whether or not they can be deported. If you are involved in an immigration case, the complex laws and regulations can be extremely intimidating. Being represented by an immigration attorney will help you understand your rights and duties under the law, and can help your case move forward toward your immigration goals. Contact an immigration attorney at our firm today to discuss your situation.

Relevant Forms

The US immigration process relies on a series of forms, each of which is designed for specific immigration needs and for particular steps in the process. Understanding what forms need to be filed, as well as what fees are involved, is a critical part of each immigration-related service. An immigration attorney can handle these detailed forms for you. If you will be making an immigration petition or have an immigration issue, call our firm to schedule a consultation with an immigration lawyer today.

Marriages, Fiance(e)s and Adoptions

Spouses, fiancé(e)s, and children of US citizens receive priority in the immigration system. They can be admitted upon approval of their petitions by the government. However, certain procedures must be followed. An attorney can be an invaluable resource in helping an immediate family member gain legal status in the US. If you are getting married or adopting internationally, call our firm to schedule a consultation.

Deportation

Deportation occurs when the federal government formally removes an alien from the United States for violation of the immigration laws. Once deported, an alien may lose the right to ever return to the United States, even as a visitor. Livelihoods and families may be impacted, and in some cases, a deported alien may end up living in a "homeland" that he or she has little familiarity with. If you are at risk of being deported, call our firm to schedule a consultation with an immigration lawyer.
