Practice Areas

When you come to The Law Office of Jason A. Dennis, we will listen to your story and take the time to understand your objectives and concerns. From there, our attorney will walk you through all available options and review possible outcomes and challenges. We will work closely with you throughout every stage of your case and will make ourselves available to answer additional questions as they come up. 

We are prepared to assist you with immigration cases involving:

• Asylum. If you have been persecuted or are concerned about future persecution in your home country on certain protected grounds, we can help you request protection in the United States. 
• Citizenship. Lawful permanent residents can naturalize and become U.S. citizens after they complete a mandatory waiting period, pass a multipart exam, and meet several other eligibility requirements. We can assist you throughout the naturalization process.
• Deportation. If you or a loved one has been placed in removal proceedings, we offer aggressive representation and will fight for your future in the United States. We will appear at all hearings and pursue all available forms of relief.
• The Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery Program. Each year, 50,000 green cards are distributed to people (and their families) from countries that historically do not send many immigrants to the United States. We can determine whether you are eligible for the lottery, help you enter, and assist with your adjustment of status petition if you win.
• Fiancé Visas. The K-1 visa allows the fiancés of U.S. citizens to travel to the United States to facilitate a marriage, allowing them to remain in the country while their green card application is processed. We can help couples secure these visas and meet their strict requirements.

• Green Cards. You need a green card if you want to become a U.S. citizen. Many immigrants get green cards through family or employment immigration, but we can help you explore all available strategies.
• Immigration Appeals. If you receive an unfavorable decision in any immigration matter, we are prepared to exhaust all appellate remedies.
• LGBTQ Issues. Our firm has experience assisting LGBTQ individuals, couples, and families with a variety of immigration obstacles, including difficulty obtaining K-1 fiancé visas and sponsoring same-sex partners for green cards. 
• Religious Visas. R-1 visas are available to immigrants looking to temporarily work for a religious organization in the United States. We can help you seek this unique type of visa. 
• Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). Undocumented minors and some young adults under the age of 21 may qualify for green cards if they were abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both of their parents. Obtaining SIJS is complicated and requires getting a court order, but we can help you through this process. 
• Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Certain countries receive TPS status when extraordinary conditions (such as ongoing warfare or the aftermath of a natural disaster) make it unsafe for immigrants in the United States to return. If you were already in the U.S. when your home country receives TPS designation, you could qualify to stay until conditions improve. 
• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and U Visas. Immigrants who have been subject to abuse at the hands of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may be able to self-petition for a green card through VAWA. U visas are available to victims of crimes who can help law enforcement investigate and prosecute the perpetrators. We can assist you in either of these scenarios.
