Our Practice Areas

You may find yourself wondering why you are in removal proceedings but there are usually many options for relief. The United States government will often issue what is called a Notice to Appear and send you a court date you entered the United States illegally, or your visa expired, or if you have a criminal conviction or even an arrest. We specialize in defending your rights are applying for applications that can allow you to remain in this country and get a green card. Such options include a claim of asylum, an application for cancellation of removal, a waiver or adjustment. While in Immigration Court, all clients are eligible to apply for a work permit. Once the work permit is received, you can apply for a social security card.

If you missed a court hearing, whether you didn’t receive notice or simply failed to show up due to illness, we can ask the Court to take away your removal order and start the case again.Also, if circumstances have changed, we can ask that the case be reopened or if perhaps certain evidence was not available while you were in immigration court. Sometimes when a client does not prevail in immigration court, he or she still has the option to appeal the Judge’s decision. We handle all types of appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals, whether it’s a court case or an appeal to a United States Citizenship & Immigration Services application.

After the Board issues a decision, we either get the case terminated, go back to Immigration Court or to the United States Citizenship & Immigrations field office. However, even if we don’t win at first, there is another option to appeal to a higher court with a circuit appeal.With all these types of appeals, a stay of removal is in place so that our clients will remain in this country as their cases are pending.All appeals have time sensitive deadlines, which are typically within 30 days of the prior order.
