The law allows family members of US residents to enter the country under two types of visas namely Immediate Relative and Family Preference immigration visas. Immediate Relative visas cover children (under 21), spouses, parents, and adopted orphans. Family Preference visas cover other family members (though not all relatives). Due to the high demand for these types of Visas, applicants are usually subjected to a waiting period, which could be years, even decades. If you seek legal advice when applying for family-based immigration, you are less likely to make mistakes that could cause your application to be held up or even rejected. Our team understands all the aspects of family based immigration and would walk alongside in this matter.

Deportation is one of the most harrowing experiences that you can face as an immigrant, but with the help of experienced immigration attorneys, there might be hope at the end of the tunnel for you. You may be qualified for a cancellation of removal, and you may get to stay in the US if you meet the following conditions: You have been physically present in the US for 10 or more years (continuously); You have been a person of good moral character throughout the duration of your stay; Your deportation could cause hardship to persons who are US citizens or permanent residents (e.g. your children or your spouse). Our team at Carlos Brown Law is able to convince the judge to exercise his or her discretion and to allow you to stay in the country. You should still seek the counsel of immigration lawyers even if you don’t meet the above conditions because you may be qualified for other forms of immigration relief.

Did you say DACA? DACA was created to provide immigration relief for law-abiding young immigrants who came into the country as children. However, since its inception, it has been a hot-button political issue, and currently, it’s the subject of lots of controversy as well as legal battles. Due to rulings by Federal Courts in early 2018, the USCIS still renews DACA requests from qualified persons. Even then, there are lots of uncertainties surrounding the DACA program, so if you want to renew your DACA grant, ensure that you seek the advice of immigration attorneys before you engage with any USCIS officials. Immigration lawyers will also be able to help you if your DACA renewal request is denied, if you are facing deportation for alleged violations to the DACA terms, or if you are facing legal problems that could endanger your status under the DACA program.
At Carlos Brown Law, our team presents many years of experience to keep you worry free when it comes to DACA.

Under US law, asylum can be granted to individuals who are already in the country and aren’t willing or able to go back to their home country for fear of persecution. You may be qualified to seek asylum in the US if you’ve fled your home country to avoid persecution on account of your political views, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, or membership in certain social groups. Refugee status is somewhat similar to asylum except that it’s granted to individuals who aren’t already on US soil but are fleeing from countries that are either war-torn or dealing with other humanitarian crises. Asylum requests are granted at the discretion of special immigration court judges, so it’s in your best interest to have experienced attorneys with you throughout the process, and especially during the hearing.
