Immigration Law Services
Immigration laws in the United States are incredibly complex. If you or a loved one is facing the risk of deportation, the stress and anxiety can be overwhelming for you and your family. At the McAlister Law Firm, LLC, we are here to fight for you through this stressful time. If you are at risk of being deported and wish to continue residing in the United States, contact our firm to set up a free consultation.
Administrative Deadlines
When filing immigration documents, it is critical to perform every administrative step timely. Even a minor mistake can delay your status or jeopardize it permanently. There are also important deadlines to meet; if you miss one, you may lose your chance at obtaining a visa. Our team is here to assist you while completing your documentation to make the process easier and efficient for you.
Your Permanent Residency
If you are facing the threat of deportation, we will fight for you. From detention to a removal hearing, we will be at your side every step of the way.
Seeking a Cancellation
Under certain circumstances, permanent and non-permanent residents may apply to a judge to adjust their deportation status to one lawfully admitted for permanent residence. There are a few requirements for this.
For permanent residents:
- You have been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years.
- You have resided in the United States for the last seven years.
- You have not been convicted of an aggravated felony.
For non-permanent residents:
- You have been physically present in the United States for at least 10 years.
- You have shown good moral character during those years.
- You have not been convicted of certain criminal offenses.
- Your removal would create a hardship for a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident member of your family.
Petitioning an Asylum
You may be eligible for asylum in the United States if you have been harshly persecuted or may be persecuted in the country that you came from. That persecution, however, must be based on at least one of the following:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political opinion
- Membership in a social group
Requesting an Adjustment of Your Status
Adjusting your status in the United States is also known as applying for a green card. This can happen if you are present in the United States and wish to gain lawful, permanent residence.
If you are facing deportation, allow us to help you apply for a deferred action.
Deferred action is when an immigrant is protected from being deported. Those who receive deferred action cannot be placed into removal proceedings or be removed from the United States for an allotted period.
