• Immigrant Visas

Immigration into the United States has change dramatically since the events of September 11, 2001. Immigration laws are more complicated than ever before.  Experience is necessary to navigate through the maze of new government agencies and the increasingly complex procedures, to obtain the results you need.

Having lawful permanent residency enables you to live and work in the U.S indefinitely. If it is your goal to obtain a Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card) status in the United States contact Alianza Law Firm today to arrange a free consultation and to learn how we can help you.

Legal Permanent Resident status can be obtained through two main types of immigrant visa categories, Family Based or Employment Based Visas.

• Deportation / Removal

Removal proceedings against an alien are initiated when the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) files the Notice to Appear (NTA), alleging a particular charge of removability, with the Immigration Court.  Once the alien is placed in removal proceedings, the alien will have an opportunity to appear before the Immigration Court to challenge the charge of removability and apply for various forms of relief, such as cancellation of Removal, waivers for charged inadmissibility, adjustment of status, asylum, withholding of removal, protection under the convention against torture or voluntary departure. Eligibility for each listed relief varies according to the statute, the charge of removability lodged, and the personal situation of each alien.

• Citizenship

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is conferred upon a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)

• Work Visas

For temporary workers, the list of employment immigration visa categories would include:

a) Professionals (H-1B)

b) Seasonal workers (H-2B)

c) Fashion models and athletes (P)

d) People entering the U.S. for training (Q)

• Marriage & Fiancé Visas

American Citizens wishing to bring their foreign spouses to reside within the United States can do it through an Immigrant Visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR-1 or CR-1) or a Non-Immigrant Visa for a Spouse (K-3).  Spouses of U.S. Citizens, along with the spouse's children, are eligible to enter the United States and remain in the country to complete their immigration process on non-immigrant visas (K-3 and K-4). K-4 visas are issued to a child only after the parent has obtained a K-3 visa or is in K-3 status. The application for a non-immigrant visa for spouse (K-3) must be filed in the country where the marriage took place, because it is there that the visa must be issued. After the spouse has completed the visa process and obtained the visa, the spouse is able to travel to the U.S. to wait for the immigrant visa case to be processed.
