Family-Based Immigration Services

One of the most common ways that people from other countries receive authorization to come to the United States is through family-based immigration. Our attorneys work with clients to help them understand the family immigration options that may be available, including:

• Immediate Relative Petitions: For U.S. citizens who are sponsoring their close family members for immigration, we can help ensure that visa petitions are filed correctly and that all required supporting evidence is included.
• Family Preference Visas: For other relatives of citizens or in cases where lawful permanent residents sponsor spouses or children for immigration, we help families navigate priority dates, complete consular processing, or address other related concerns.
• Adjustment of Status: We work with family members who are already in the U.S. to apply for Green Cards without leaving the country. We make sure applicants understand the eligibility criteria while resolving concerns related to issues such as lawful entry and visa availability.
• Consular Processing: When an immigrant is outside the United States, our attorneys can help coordinate communications with the National Visa Center and the U.S. consulate in the person's country to ensure that they will be able to receive authorization for immigration.
• Fiancé(e) Visas: Our lawyers work with U.S. citizens who are seeking to bring their intended spouses to the country, guiding them through eligibility checks, relationship documentation, and marriage timelines.

Deportation Defense

The possibility of deportation is one of the most serious challenges an immigrant may encounter. The Concord Immigration Court handles removal proceedings for people in the region, and it is important to work with a local attorney who understands the procedures followed by the court and its judges. Our attorneys can help clients determine the best deportation defense strategies, which may include:

• Asylum Applications: For those who fear persecution in their home country, we can attorneys can build detailed and well-supported asylum cases to help ensure that they will be able to remain in the United States and protect their safety.
• Cancellation of Removal: If a person has lived in the U.S. for a significant period and meets certain conditions, they may qualify for this form of relief. Our lawyers can help demonstrate that relief is necessary to avoid hardship for U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members.
• Adjustment of Status During Removal Proceedings: Our attorneys can evaluate whether clients may qualify for Green Cards while in removal proceedings, which will provide them with authorization to remain in the United States.
• Waivers of Inadmissibility: Some clients may be barred from immigration benefits due to unlawful presence in the United States, criminal convictions, or other reasons. Our lawyers can help determine whether waivers may be available, and we will build persuasive arguments to demonstrate that a person qualifies.
• Prosecutorial Discretion Requests: Our attorneys may negotiate with the Department of Homeland Security to close or pause removal cases when appropriate. This option may be available in cases involving humanitarian concerns or other factors.

We understand the high stakes involved in deportation cases. We provide effective representation throughout every stage of these proceedings, from master calendar hearings to individual merit hearings, working to ensure that our clients will be able to remain in the U.S.
