New York

Immigration Law Services

Years of experience helping families & individuals with all of their immigration needs.

Adjustment of Status / Green Cards

The first step in the adjustment of status process is to determine if you fit into a specific immigrant category. Most immigrants become eligible for a green card (permanent residence) through a petition filed on your behalf by a family member or employer.

Asylum

If you are suffering from various kinds of persecution in your country of origin, then you may be able to seek asylum and refuge in the United States.

Cancellation of Removal

Cancellation of removal is only available to individuals who are in removal proceedings. When a person is in removal proceedings, this means that the Department of Homeland Security is trying to deport them. This benefit is not available to individuals whose case is not before an immigration judge.

Criminal Immigration

Getting arrested for a criminal offense can jeopardize your immigration status in a number of ways. It can make you ineligible for naturalization or unable to renew your Green Card. If trying to enter (or re-enter) the U.S., a criminal history can be grounds for inadmissibility.

Deportation Defense

Deportation, also known as removal, is the formal legal process during which the United States government orders a non-citizen to be removed from the country. There are a variety of reasons why a removal may be ordered, nearly all of which involve a violation of U.S. immigration law.

Family Immigration

Foreign nationals have the opportunity to lawfully obtain a green card, or permanent resident status, through the family-based immigration pathway. In order to qualify for permanent residency, foreign citizens must have a relative who is either a United States citizen or permanent resident file a petition on their behalf.

US Citizenship

Becoming a United States citizen is often the ultimate goal of foreign nationals who have made the sacrifices to live and work in America. By taking an oath of commitment to our nation and pledging loyalty to the U.S.

VAWA Green Cards

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), created special routes to immigration status for certain battered non-citizens. Among the basic requirements for eligibility, a battered non-citizen must be the spouse or child of an abusive U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Visas

An immigrant visa is granted to foreign nationals who will be receiving permanent residency upon entering the country. Immigrant visas allow foreign citizens to enter any U.S. port of entry.

Waivers

Grounds of inadmissibility are reasons that immigration officials may seek to deny entry or immigration benefits to a foreign national. Because you fall under one of these categories of inadmissibility does not automatically mean that you will be denied entry or benefits.
