U.S. Immigration Laws and Policies

Immigration law in the United States is complex and subject to frequent changes. Newark residents must navigate a variety of laws and policies when applying for visas, green cards, or citizenship. Some key elements of U.S. immigration law include:

• Family-Based Immigration: U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition to bring family members to the U.S., but the process often involves long wait times and extensive paperwork.
• Employment-Based Visas: There are several types of employment-based visas, including H-1B, L-1, and EB-5, each with its own requirements.
• Deportation and Removal Proceedings: If you are in the U.S. unlawfully, you may face deportation. Our team can help defend you against removal and explore options for relief.
• Asylum and Refugee Status: Individuals fleeing persecution in their home country may be eligible to seek asylum or refugee status in the U.S. However, this process requires proving that returning home would place them in danger.
