Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Law
-
Timelines vary widely depending on the type of case. Visa applications can take several months; green card petitions may take one to several years depending on your category and country of origin. Asylum cases and removal proceedings have their own timelines. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.
-
A visa is temporary permission to enter or remain in the United States for a specific purpose and period. A green card (lawful permanent resident status) gives you the right to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. A green card can eventually lead to citizenship; a visa typically cannot on its own.
-
Yes. Permanent residents can be placed in removal proceedings under certain circumstances, including certain criminal convictions or immigration violations. If you're a green card holder facing deportation, you need an attorney immediately.
-
Contact an immigration attorney as soon as possible. A notice to appear (NTA) initiates removal proceedings against you, and you will need to respond formally. The sooner you have legal representation, the more options you have.
-
Technically, you can represent yourself in immigration proceedings. However, immigration law is highly complex, and mistakes on applications or in court can have serious and sometimes irreversible consequences. Having an experienced attorney significantly improves your chances of a successful outcome.
