Green Card Applications

Green cards may be applied for under different criteria. Whether you are a family member of a permanent U.S. resident or are married to one; if you have already legally entered the United States or are filing an application from outside the country. We are equipped to help you navigate the application process as quickly and simply as possible to become a legal green card holder. 

Deportation and Removal Defense

You may face deportation from the United States for a number of reasons, including:

• Overstaying an immigrant Visa
• Illegal Entry or Re-entry
• Criminal Conviction
• Status Violation
• Violation of Immigration Law
• Prohibited Employment Activity

Remember that deportation proceedings from the country often take time, which gives you the opportunity to build a removal defense. The government needs to prove that there is a valid reason for the removal of a non-citizen from the country. Consult with an experienced immigration attorney to develop the best possible defense from deportation and argue on your behalf in immigration court. Deportation proceedings can be incredibly intimidating situations, but they can be overcome with the right preparation and aggressive deportation defense.

Naturalization and Citizenship

Naturalization is typically a rather simple process, but there are numerous requirements that you must meet in order to successfully apply. You can find all of these criteria listed in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) as well as on the USCIS’s website. The eligibility conditions of individuals will vary depending on immigration status and reason, so if you are facing an immigration challenge with your citizenship application or simply need legal advice navigating the process find an experienced naturalization lawyer. 

Refugee or Asylum

Refugee or asylum status may be applied for when you fear persecution in your home country due to:

• Religious beliefs
• Race
• Nationality
• Political opinion
• Membership in a specific social group

Additionally, there are a few things you need to know before approaching an immigration officer for asylum:

• You must be able to prove a valid fear or history of persecution
• You must ask for asylum within one year of your arrival in the United States
• You will be required to participate in an asylum interview
• You may be able to submit an appeal, should your application be denied
• Asking for asylum is separate from asking for refugee status

Finding a talented immigration attorney can be enormously helpful given the inherent complexity of many asylum or refugee applications. If you are preparing your case for an asylum request or to seek refugee status, call The Law Office of Jason A. Dennis for help in building the best possible application.
