Glendale, AZ Immigration Lawyer

Millions of people attempt to immigrate to the United States every year to live safer lives, work higher-paying jobs, and build a prosperous future for themselves and their families. Residents and citizens are granted the right to express their opinions freely, practice their religion safely, and experience many other civil liberties that may have never been a part of their lives in their home country. Unfortunately, being approved for immigration to the U.S. is very competitive and requires a lot of paperwork and supplementary documents to be submitted. Any errors, no matter how unintentional, could lead to you being denied for the status you are applying for. Working with a dedicated attorney who is well-practiced in immigration law can give you an advantage when it comes to dealing with the United States legal system.

Immigration Services We Frequently Handle

Family-Based Petitions

While there are many different types of family-based petitions, the most commonly applied for are the fiance visa (K-1 visa), the spouse visa (CR1 or IR1 visa), and the parent petition (IR-5 visa). These visas require someone who is already living in the United States legally to sponsor the applicant, so both individuals have legal responsibilities to fulfill. Working with an attorney can ensure that all applications are completed correctly and completely, then submitted with the appropriate supporting documentation. 

Asylum

Being granted asylum in the U.S. means that you are facing persecution – or the threat of persecution – in your home country due to your race, ethnicity, religion, political ideology, or other reason. In addition to completing and submitting Form I-589, applicants will need to provide extensive documentation of the harm they believe will come to them by returning to their home country to strengthen their case. This may include official documents such as government pamphlets, proof of involvement with targeted groups, or some proof that they have already been harmed as a result of this persecution. In addition, they will compose a personal statement detailing some of the experiences (or the experiences of family and close friends) that support their claims. 

Employment-Based Petitions

There are 5 types of employment-based visas, or EB visas, ranging from EB-1 through EB-5. Each has their own eligibility requirements which includes proving distinction in a certain field or extensive work experience. Our Glendale immigration lawyer can help you determine which EB visa you might be qualified for, and walk you through each step of the application process. 

Citizenship

For lawful, permanent residents who meet all eligibility requirements, pursuing naturalized citizenship may be an option. To apply, Form N-400 and all supporting documents must be submitted on-time and error free. Next, applicants must take part in a biometric screening and an interview with a USCIS agent where their English proficiency will be tested, as well as knowledge of U.S. history and civics. Applicants who successfully pass through each phase of this process will be sworn in as naturalized citizens in an oath ceremony!
