NYC Immigration Lawyers
The United States welcomes thousands of new immigrants in various legal categories each and every year. Many seek out life in the United States because of the viability of the economy and the ability to pursue gainful employment. Others come to study or to escape from the immense hardships of life in other corners of the world.
The attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC, have years of experience helping clients navigate the often-difficult realm of New York’s immigration laws. We know what could be at stake when you are facing immigration proceedings and the other issues that commonly interfere with immigration in New York City. If you need assistance with immigrant visas, citizenship, or legal issues related to your green card, we can help. Our team can also provide comprehensive defense counsel if you are facing deportation.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Immigration Attorney in NYC?
The anticipated cost of legal fees unfortunately deters many people from seeking defense counsel when they need it most. They may also refrain from securing legal representation in immigration proceedings because they believe they can handle these legal issues on their own. Investing in the services of an experienced immigration lawyer can be invaluable for you and your family. If you are concerned about the possible cost of your legal fees, take time to learn a potential attorney’s billing policies and determine how much time they will need to devote to your case to estimate how much your legal fees might cost.
When it comes to defense counsel, the level of personal attention you can expect from a private New York immigration and criminal defense attorney is valuable. When you and your loved ones risk losing immigration status, deportation, or even criminal prosecution related to your immigration, it’s crucial to secure legal counsel you can trust.
Our New York immigration attorney offers the following services for immigrants and their families:
- Deportation and removal defense. All criminal codes of the United States and those of New York provide separate provisions for citizens and non-citizens. Unfortunately, non-citizens facing deportation do not have the same level of legal rights as citizens, and if they face criminal prosecution it is very likely for deportation to come into play. The Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC, can help you and your loved ones craft a solid defense that can potentially help you avoid deportation. Even if you have held a green card in the US for several years, some criminal charges could entail a penalty of mandatory detention in an immigration facility or deportation to your home country. Our team will do everything we can to help you qualify for relief from removal.
- Asylum. The United States offers international citizens safe haven from persecution in their home countries. If you and your loved ones have fled a war-torn country or face severe persecution for your ethnicity or religious beliefs, the US can provide asylum and help your family enjoy a fresh start. We can help you navigate the complex legal proceedings that qualifying for asylum entails.
- Family-based petitions. The Immigration and Nationality Act of the United States provides a streamlined process for international relatives of US relatives and legal permanent relatives to formally immigrate to the US. Our firm will help you complete your required paperwork and, if necessary, provide legal counsel during your immigration proceedings. We will assist you with all sponsorship documentation and guide you through your proceedings, ideally securing approval for your family-based petition much more quickly than you could manage without a New York immigration attorney.
Coming to the United States
Those who come from abroad and wish to reside in the United States may qualify to legally stay in the United States if they can prove their ability to legitimately meet the criteria of one seeking asylum or by applying via a family-based petition.
Asylum is a right granted to those who suffer persecution based on their race, ethnicity, religion, social membership, or political opinion in their country of origin. Applicants who meet these criteria must file a Form I-589 to be approved by the USCIS.
The U.S. Department of State also allows for immediate relatives of citizens, including spouses, unmarried minor children, children adopted abroad, and parents of a citizen to live in the United States after filing and the approval of a family-based petition. The Department of Immigration also allows a specific number of family preference visas each year.
No matter what reasons you and your loved ones may have for immigrating to the United States, it is vital to understand the laws and procedures in place in New York, so you can have the smoothest immigration experience possible. Unfortunately, many individuals encounter problems with their immigration processes and may even face criminal prosecution for certain immigration policy violations. It is also possible for an individual who has completed some immigration proceedings to face deportation for unrelated activities. In these situations, it’s possible for deportation to come into play. The Law Offices of Robert Tsigler, PLLC, can help our immigration clients approach deportation cases with confidence, and we will do everything we can to reduce the chance of you and/or your family members facing deportation.
