MAMARI LAW SPECIALIZES IN IMMIGRATION LAW AND

INVESTS ALL RESOURCES TO FURTHER ADVANCE IN THE FIELD

Deportation

If you are facing deportation or removal proceedings in the United States, you need to take immediate and decisive action to speak with an experienced attorney. Deportation is a scary prospect for many, and we’re here to help you fight for your case.

Family-Based Immigration

U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents can sponsor particular family members for an immigrant visa, also known as a “Green Card.” Family-based immigration happens in one of two ways: immediate relatives and family preference categories. Our office has extensive experience in handling these types of visas.

Asylum

Refugee protection is an important pillar of US immigration law. If you fear persecution upon returning to your home country, you may be eligible for asylum in the United States. In order to qualify for asylum, however, the harm you fear must be based on religion, race, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. You may fear returning back to your home country based on passed persecution of a future fear of persecution.  

It is crucial for the case to be well prepared at the outset, as certain mistakes are simply not fixable and you may forfeit the opportunity to win your asylum case at the initial filong. Asylum cases are often very difficult to win, especially without an experienced attorney. 

Unlawful Presence

Unlawful presence is the period of time accured after overstaying your visa, entering without inspection or parole, or various other ways. Determining if an unlawful presence bar applies to you can be complex. Contact us today to review your case and review your current status.

Bars to returning to the United States

After deportation, there may be certain bans to returning to the United States for an extended period of time, if ever. Depending on the circumstances, you may find yourself barred from returning to the United States for various reasons.

Adjustment of Status

Adjustment of status is another way of referring to the application process for changing one’s immigration status to that of a permanent resident. It is also known as obtaining a green card. U.S. immigration law allows individuals who entered the country legally as a visitor, student, or other category to adjust their status in the U.S.

Change of Status

Nonimmigrant status is typically intended for tourism, medical treatment, study, work, or other reasons. You may enter the U.S. with one purpose and later change your purpose. When this happens, you may need to obtain a new status. It is important that you are represented by an experienced attorney.

Consular Processing

Consular processing can be a nightmare.  where an individual who is the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has an immigrant visa number immediately available, applies at a U.S. Department of State Embassy or Consulate abroad for an immigrant visa in order to come to the United States and be admitted as a permanent resident.

At Mamari Law, we can assist in bringing family to the United States through Consular Processing, which is a primary way a foreign national may obtain permanent resident status (a green card) for either family based or employments based applicants.

U.S. Citizenship

As a foreign national who has migrated to the United States and obtained a green card to permanently reside and work here, you may also be interested in applying for US citizenship.

US Citizenship offers responsibilities and benefits which are not afforded to non-citizens. Our attorneys are here to answer any questions you have about citizenship and to guide you on the journey to becoming a US citizen.

Citizenship by derivation is process in which you can obtain U.S. Citizenship from your parents.

Citizenship by acquisition is a similar process in which you can also acquire citizenship from your parents.
