An immigration application can affect whether your family can remain together in the United States. The right strategy depends not only on the form you intend to file but also on prior entries, earlier applications, criminal records, and periods without lawful status. A Hoboken immigration lawyer will review your history before recommending a course of action
At the Law Office of Lloyd E. Bennett Esq., P.C., we provide immigration law guidance grounded in direct answers and careful preparation. We have represented people in immigration matters since 1987. Whether you are looking to file a family petition or you are in removal/deportation proceedings, an attorney from our firm can review your situation and offer advice and solutions.
Removal proceedings begin when the Department of Homeland Security files a Notice to Appear with the immigration court after service, which can occur either in person, via the mail, or during an immigration enforcement action. Typically, the immigration court determines removability and whether relief from removal may be available. One of our immigration lawyers in Hoboken will examine the charging document and procedural history, along with the available applications and deadlines, before choosing a defense.
We represent clients before the Executive Office for Immigration Review in matters involving detention and bond, cancellation or withholding of removal, asylum protection under the Convention Against Torture, and voluntary departure and other forms of relief. In some cases, we can file motions to reopen or terminate proceedings and address ICE detention and bond issues via a Habeas Corpus action in Federal Court. These cases demand attention as time is short.
A prior misrepresentation, a criminal matter, or a period of unlawful presence can lead to a USCIS denial and initiation of removal proceedings, blocking an otherwise valid immigration case. An immigration attorney in Hoboken can identify the specific grounds and determine whether a waiver exists under the applicable legal standard. We also advise on naturalization and citizenship. In addition, we can assist you with Asylum, DACA, and TPS matters, along with family-based filings and fiancée petitions.
At the Law Office of Lloyd E. Bennett Esq., P.C., a Hoboken immigration lawyer from our team will give you a candid evaluation and a defined plan of action when the law provides a viable path.
