SIJS
Immigrant youth under 21 who have suffered abuse, abandonment, or neglect may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), a pathway to lawful residency.
Asylum
Our office helps individuals apply for asylum, a protection available to those facing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group.
VAWA
VAWA provides a pathway for certain individuals to apply for legal status without relying on their abuser. Eligible spouses, children, and certain parents can self-petition. Our office offers legal guidance to those seeking protection under VAWA and can assist throughout the process.
Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which Lawful Permanent Residents (“green card” holders) apply for United States citizenship. Citizenship offers benefits such as voting rights and a U.S. passport. Our office assists clients throughout all stages of the naturalization process.
TPS
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) grants temporary legal status to individuals from designated countries experiencing conflict or natural disasters. TPS allows beneficiaries to live and work in the United States. Our office assists with TPS renewal applications. We can also assist with Advance Parole applications to help those with TPS travel briefly outside of the United States.
Adjustment Of Status
Adjustment of Status allows eligible individuals to apply for lawful permanent residence (a “green card”) without leaving the U.S. If granted, lawful permanent residence allows a person to live and work legally in the U.S. Our office assists clients with every step of the adjustment-of-status process.
Family Petitions
If you are a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident, you may be able to petition for certain family members (such as a child, parent, or spouse) using a form called the “I-130.” After USCIS approves the I-130 petition, additional steps will be required in order for your loved one to gain permanent lawful status. Our office can assist you with the I-130 family petition and all subsequent steps.
Removal Defense
Removal Defense involves representing individuals facing removal (i.e., “deportation”) proceedings in immigration court. Our office typically offers removal-defense services only to individuals who qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.
DACA
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) provides work authorization and temporary protection from deportation for eligible individuals who were brought to the United States as children. Our office assists with renewal applications.
