Family-Based Immigration Services

Family unification is an important goal in many immigration cases. Our Montgomery Village family immigration attorneys can assist with the application process for family-based visas and Green Cards, helping U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents sponsor relatives to join them in the United States.

We can assist with Immediate Relative visas for close family members of citizens, and we can provide guidance on the Family Preference visa categories that may be available for other types of relatives. We can also help couples apply for fiancé visas so that they can get married in the United States.

Each category of family-based visa has different priority levels and wait times. Our immigration lawyers help clients prepare petitions on behalf of immigrant family members, make sure the proper affidavits of sponsorship are filed, ensure that the correct supporting documents are provided, and address any eligibility concerns. To ensure that immigrants can receive Green Cards, we can provide guidance with consular processing or adjustment of status, ensuring that clients meet all deadlines and procedural requirements.

Employment-Based Immigration Support

Montgomery Village is home to many skilled professionals and employers who are looking to hire foreign workers. Our attorneys can help prepare visa petitions for workers, and we can assist employers to make sure they receive the proper labor certifications to sponsor employees for immigration. We can assist with employment immigration matters involving:

• Temporary Work Visas: We work with employers and employees to apply for H-1B visas or other types of visas available to foreign workers, allowing them to stay in the U.S. on a temporary basis.
• Employment-Based Green Cards: We can provide guidance on what categories of immigrant visas may be available based on a worker's qualifications.

Defense Against Deportation and Removal

The threat of deportation is one of the most daunting challenges that immigrants may face. Our Montgomery Village deportation defense lawyers can provide a legal defense in immigration court, fighting to help clients remain in the United States. We can provide guidance on the options that may be available, including applying for Cancellation of Removal or Adjustment of Status.

Our attorneys will evaluate an immigrant's circumstances, identify the potential options for relief, and provide representation during hearings before immigration judges. We will work to prevent deportations whenever possible and ensure that immigrants can continue living in the U.S.

Asylum and Humanitarian Protections

In many cases, immigrants arrive in the United States after fleeing from persecution and violence. Our attorneys can help clients apply for asylum or other humanitarian protections. Asylum seekers must demonstrate that they have a well-founded fear of persecution. Timing is critical, as most asylum applications must be submitted within one year of arrival in the U.S. We will ensure that applications for asylum are supported by credible evidence and legal arguments that meet the requirements of immigration law.

Waivers of Inadmissibility

When immigrants are deemed inadmissible due to prior immigration violations, criminal records, or health issues, our lawyers can help apply for waivers of inadmissibility. These waivers may allow eligible applicants to avoid deportation and obtain visas or Green Cards. We can help provide evidence showing that a person is eligible for a waiver so that their family members can avoid hardship.

Special Protections for Vulnerable Immigrants

Certain groups of immigrants may be eligible for protection against deportation due to their status as victims or vulnerable children. Our attorneys provide essential legal assistance for people who are seeking relief through:

• VAWA (Violence Against Women Act): Abused spouses, children, or parents of U.S. citizens or Green Card holders may qualify for lawful immigration status.
• U Visas: Victims of qualifying crimes who cooperate with law enforcement investigations or prosecutions may be able to avoid deportation and remain in the United States.
• Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS): Children under the age of 21 who have been harmed by issues like abuse or neglect may apply for this status, which will allow them to stay in the U.S. and eventually become permanent residents.
