Immigration Legal in Metairie, Louisiana

Immigration law in the United States is extremely complex, and a person may face many issues. Becoming a lawful permanent resident, and eventually obtaining citizenship, is a dream for so many foreign nationals and sadly, thousands of people find themselves placed into removal proceedings every year. Due to the complicated nature of the law, many people do not know how to achieve their dreams, what type of visa to apply for, or the steps to take when they face challenges along the way. If you are trying to adjust your status, obtain a green card, or have any other questions, a Metairie immigration lawyer can help you navigate the process.

Family-Based Immigration Options

The United States government allows individuals in the country to sponsor a family member so they can enter the country. Some of the most common options pursued by these individuals include:

  • Family-based immigration: Individuals that are already a United States citizen or a lawful permanent resident can sponsor a family member so they can enter the country and even eventually apply for a green card.
  • Family preference immigrant visas: When a person is a relative of a United States citizen, they can apply for a family preference visa, even if the foreign national is an immediate relative.
  • K-1: Individuals that are outside of the country but that have a fiancé within the United States can apply for a K-1 visa. A K-1 visa will allow a person to enter the country for the purpose of marriage. Once married, a person can then apply for an immediate relative visa.
  • Waivers of inadmissibility: When a person is not eligible to enter the country, or is already in the country illegally, they can apply for a waiver of inadmissibility so they can enter or remain in the country.

To qualify for any of the above options, individuals must choose the one that is right for them. A Metairie immigration lawyer can advise on which option is right for a specific situation.

Employment-Based Immigration Options

Individuals that wish to enter the country for employment purposes also have many options. Investors that wish to enter the United States with the intent to create employment opportunities can apply for a visa, as can specially trained individuals. The majority of employment-based visas are approved when a foreign national is sponsored by an employer already in the United States, but a person is sometimes also able to sponsor themselves.

Deportation

Deportation is the greatest fear of many immigrants in the United States. However, when a person is placed into removal proceedings, there are many defenses available. A Metairie immigration lawyer can advise on whether an individual is eligible for asylum status, and on what options are available when the deportation would place undue hardship on a citizen or a lawful permanent resident.
