Your case:
Many of our clients have already attempted to work on their own cases or with other attorneys and encountered complications. Please be assured that whatever your legal needs, we will treat you and your case with respect and confidentiality.
Removal proceedings:
Have you received a notice from the Immigration Court? An NTA, or Notice to Appear is a letter the government will send you to appear before an Immigration Judge. The judge may be the only person to determine whether you can stay in the U.S. It is best to appear in court with an attorney because the document may or may not be legally correct.
Work authorization:
There are a number of ways to work legally in the U.S. There is no single employment document for all U.S. workers. For example, after a period of education in the U.S. one may receive employment authorization for one year. This is called Optional Practical Training (OPT.) Another way is authorization to work while a permanent residency application is pending.
Green card assessment:
Many people are not aware that a green card (permanent residency) is not in fact permanent. After approval, the law requires you reside in the U.S. most of the year. Don't be surprised if a customs agent confiscates your green card upon returning to the U.S. after a trip lasting more than one year. Here is an overview of how to get and keep your permanent residency.
Citizenship:
If you have been a permanent resident for more than five years, it is possible you are eligible to apply for U.S. Citizenship. Once you become a citizen, you are free to leave the U.S. permanently if you wish. If you continue as a permanent resident, you may be prohibited from travel for more than one year at a time.
