Waiver of Deportation Proceeding

Sunday, 15 December 2019 by Kara Lawrence

There are a number of grounds where waivers are available. A waiver ends the removal proceeding and you get a chance to live in the United States. A judge takes into consideration your past record, conditions in your home country, immigration violations, and gravity of criminal charges against you while contemplating granting a waiver.

The Adjustment of Status allows one to get a waiver from removal proceeding citing his family’s lawful immigration and green card qualification. Victims of domestic violence committed by a US citizen or lawful resident can also seek waiver against deportation. With an able immigration attorney representing your case, you may appeal for withholding of removal citing your eligibility for asylum or protection against persecution or torture at home.

Another option is “U” visa. A person is entitled to this visa and subsequent permanent resident status if he or she has helped authorities in the investigation and prosecution of other criminals.

If any of your loved ones facing deportation and you want an experienced and reliable immigration attorney contact us.

How Can I Secure an Immigration Bond?!

Monday, 09 December 2019 by Kara Lawrence

The first thing an immigration attorney considers is if the detained person is eligible for posting a bond. It is the best way to get released from the detention while the removal proceeding is underway. The money for the bond should be deposited by a lawful Georgia resident with valid identity and proof of valid immigration status.  This person is known as “obligor,” he is responsible to ensure that the migrant detainee presents himself before authorities whenever required.

The bond is payable to the Department of Homeland Security and should be in the form of a cashier’s check or US postal money order. People without serious criminal charges or a previous history of detention stand a good chance to seek release by posting a bond. One’s immigration history also plays a part in determining eligibility. However, the amount for a bond is set by immigration authorities. An immigration attorney determines if you are entitled to it and file a motion for a bond hearing or a reduced bond appeal.

If you or a loved one are detained and interested in asking the Immigration Judge assigned to your deportation proceeding for a bond, contact us without delay!

What Should I Do if Detained by ICE?!

Friday, 06 December 2019 by Kara Lawrence

Immigration authorities follow multiple methods to track and arrest migrants subject to removal proceedings or deportation. It may include workplace raids, highway stops, or even during visits to immigration offices. In Georgia, people arrested by ICE officials are sent to the contract detention facility hours away from Atlanta or any other detention center or county jail approved to house such inmates. Foreigners who served their criminal sentences are also transferred to these detention centers.

As soon as one is detained or faces the potential risk of detention, it is in his best interest to consult an immigration lawyer with a proven track record. We can figure out if the detained person is eligible for bond and start to build his defense.

If you or a loved one is facing deportation, contact us to investigate the particulars of your case.

Waivers for Immigrants (Part 2)

Wednesday, 27 November 2019 by Kara Lawrence

When You Can Seek Waivers

Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides various grounds of inadmissibility for immigrants seeking to stay in the United States. These include:

  • Unlawful US entry, abusing a student visa, false claiming of citizenship, illegal US stay, using smuggling routes or stowaway methods to enter the United States.
  • Health grounds, such as failing to be immunized, suffering from any communicable disease, being a drug addict, diagnosed with mental disorders posing threat to others
  • Facing criminal charges or jailed for 5 years at home or in the United States, drug or human trafficking, economic offenses, including money laundering.
  • Visa fraud or using any kind of misrepresentation in a visa application.

If any of these inadmissibility grounds pose a threat to your permanent resident status, get in touch with an immigration attorney in Houston to explore waiver options.

An immigrant who has entered illegally or overstayed must have to follow the consular process to apply for permanent residency. This requires him to leave the United States and apply for the residency visa at his home country. An unlawful entrant has to stay out of the country for 3 to 10 years before he is eligible to apply for an immigrant visa. Such a clause may force him to stay out of the US borders for years due to the tedious immigration process. If he has a family or loved ones in the United States, they are bound to suffer in his absence. Immigration waivers also provide him an opportunity to waive those 3 or 10 year ban from the country.  If you or a loved one is facing a ban from reentry, contact us.

What is a K-1 Visa? (Part 1)

Saturday, 21 September 2019 by Kara Lawrence

The fiancé(e) K-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a United States (U.S.) citizen. The K-1 visa permits the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry his or her U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival. The foreign-citizen will then apply for adjustment of status to a permanent resident (LPR) with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Because a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to migrate to the U.S. and marry a U.S. citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa. Eligible children of K-1 visa applicants receive K-2 visas.

Is a K-1 Visa Right for Me?

There are several options for obtaining a visa for a fiancé(e) or a spouse. Which option is right for you depends upon your circumstances and how quickly you want to obtain admission to the US and work authorization. A K-1 Visa is not always the right options.

We have worked on marriage and fiancé(e) cases for fifteen years. While past performance does not necessarily denote future success we have yet to have any marriage or fiancé(e) visa we have submitted denied. Key to this success has been advising clients as to which of several options are right for them. These options include:

  • Entering the US on a different visa type, marrying and obtaining adjustment of status
  • Marrying abroad and applying directly for permanent residency
  • Marrying abroad and obtaining a K-3, marriage, visa
  • Obtaining a K-1 visa, marrying in the US and filing for permanent residency
