For many foreign-born individuals, coming to the United States to be naturalized as a citizen is a dream, one into which significant time, effort, and resources are poured. Others come to the United States on a temporary basis for purposes of work, education, medical treatment, or leisure.

Both groups can hit roadblocks with their immigration status. Sometimes it’s a missed deadline. Sometimes, it’s one form filled out wrong, and the whole case gets held up.

Those seeking lawful permanent residency (aka a “green card”) have several possible bases by which legal status may be obtained. The most common of these are marriage to a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident, and family relations to a United States citizen or legal permanent resident.

Some people qualify through asylum. To get it, you have to show a well-founded fear of being persecuted back home based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or a particular social group.

We can assist you in securing a green card in any of these ways and help you with the filing process to demonstrate the validity of your basis for immigration.

Whether you are just getting started or already have a case pending, we will explain your options in plain language and let you know what to expect at each step.

Serving Northeast Philadelphia As An Immigration Lawyer

Our Northeast Philadelphia immigration lawyer can also assist lawful permanent residents in the process of naturalization so that they can experience the full benefits of being a United States citizen. To become a United States citizen, a green card holder must first live in the United States lawfully for a specific period of time. This varies according to the basis of their lawful permanent residency.

The legal permanent resident must also demonstrate that he or she is a person of good moral character. A determination of a partly discretionary nature may be hard to show if he or she has been convicted of a criminal offense or has failed to pay taxes or child support. Additionally, the applicant must demonstrate English literacy and pass a citizenship test that evaluates knowledge of American government and history.

Those who are faced with removal proceedings should know that there are options available to them that may enable them to stay in the United States. That said, it’s critical that you reach out to an immigration attorney as soon as possible, as these proceedings are extremely time-sensitive.

There are various ways we can assist you. This includes filing for

• Adjustment of Status
• Asylum
• Immigration/Divorce
• I-130 Petition for Spouse
• United States Citizenship
• Cancellation of Removal
• Withholding of Removal
• Deportation Defense
• Immigration Court
• I-751 Removal of Conditions
• Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Should it prove to be the best option for your interests, we can help you proceed with a voluntary departure in lieu of deportation.
