Common Immigration Matters We Handle in Germantown, MD
The United States immigration system is complex, and the laws are constantly changing. As an immigrant or nonimmigrant, you must be aware of your rights and responsibilities under U.S. law. Failure to do so can result in serious consequences, including deportation or removal from the United States.
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling all types of immigration cases, including:
- Deportation and removal defense
- Political, religious, and other asylum-based cases
- Legal permanent resident card renewals
- Naturalization applications
- Fiancé visas and consular processing
- Permanent resident application based on employment
- Permanent residence application based on family
- Temporary protected status applications and renewals
- Solving inadmissibility issues
Removal or deportation defense
Removal proceedings are conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove immigrants who are in the country illegally or who have violated the terms of their visas. During removal proceedings, an immigration judge will hear your case and decide whether or not to order your removal from the United States.
Naturalization and citizenship
If you are a legal immigrant, you may be eligible to become a U.S. citizen through naturalization. To be eligible for naturalization, you must meet certain requirements, such as being at least 18 years of age, having a green card, and having lived in the United States for at least five years (or three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen). You will also need to pass a citizenship test and demonstrate your knowledge of English, U.S. history, and government.
If you are interested in becoming a U.S. citizen, our team of experienced immigration lawyers can help you navigate the naturalization process and ensure that you meet all of the eligibility requirements.
Asylum
Face persecution in your home country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. You may be eligible for asylum in the United States. To be eligible for asylum, you must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution and that returning to your home country would not be safe.
If you seek asylum in the United States, our team of experienced immigration lawyers can help you navigate the complex asylum process and build a strong case for your eligibility.
Victims of certain crimes and abuse
If you are a victim of certain crimes or abuse, you may be eligible for a special form of relief known as a U non-immigrant visa. To be eligible for a U visa, you must have been the victim of a crime such as domestic violence, human trafficking, or child abuse, and you must be willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime.
If you are eligible for a U visa, our team of experienced immigration lawyers can help you navigate the complex application process and ensure that your rights are protected.
Legal permanent residency through family
Suppose you have a family member who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. In that case, you may be eligible to apply for legal permanent residency, also known as a green card. To be eligible for a green card through family, you must be the spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
If you are eligible to apply for a green card through a family member, our team of experienced immigration lawyers can help you navigate the complex application process and protect your rights.
