A person going through the immigration process needs to know that their lawyer is on top of the important details that may decide how their case turns out. They also need advice on the evidence they will need to gather and questions they can expect from an immigration official or judge. Also, it’s not uncommon for immigration cases to be delayed because paperwork was not properly filed or critical information and evidence are missing. Even worse are those cases where inadequate paperwork resulted in the denial of an application. Devon King Law Firm, PLLC is here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.

It could be demonstrating that someone convicted of a crime remains eligible for the benefit they seek or has been rehabilitated.

Understanding the Brooklyn Immigration Landscape
Situated in New York City, Brooklyn is a vibrant and diverse community characterized by a rich tapestry of cultures and languages. The borough serves as a gateway for many immigrants entering the United States, offering unique opportunities and challenges.

FAQs About Immigration
What Should I Know About Sponsoring a Family Member?
Sponsorship involves several steps, including the submission of Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, by the sponsor, who must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The complexity of this process depends on the relationship between the sponsor and immigrant and their respective statuses in the U.S. Processing times can vary; hence, it’s critical to ensure all forms and supporting documents are accurate and complete from the outset. We guide our clients through gathering necessary evidence and completing all required paperwork, ensuring a smoother route towards family reunification.
How Can I Apply for a Green Card?
Obtaining a green card, indicating permanent residency, is a significant milestone. Depending on your eligibility, methods include sponsorship by family or employer, seeking refuge or asylum, or through special programs like the Diversity Visa Lottery. Each path has specific requirements, stringent documentation needs, and often lengthy timelines. Our role is to navigate these avenues, advising on the most suitable actions based on individual circumstances, ensuring all petitions are filed correctly, and representing your interests in any required interviews or hearings.
What Are the Steps for Citizenship and Naturalization?
Citizenship is the pinnacle of immigration journeys, offering a host of benefits including voting rights and U.S. passport issuance. The process generally involves fulfilling residency requirements, demonstrating “good moral character,” and passing a citizenship test covering U.S. history and government. Preparing for the citizenship interview is crucial, and we offer guidance in practicing the types of questions that may be asked. We ensure that you are well-prepared for every step, from filing the N-400, Application for Naturalization, to appearing at your biometrics and interview appointments.
How Can I Seek Asylum in the United States?
Asylum offers protection to those fleeing persecution, based on race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion. Applying involves filing Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, and demonstrating credible evidence of persecution. The legal complexities necessitate strong, compelling documentation and narrative. We assist in presenting your asylum case effectively, ensuring your application aligns with the strict criteria set by U.S. immigration law, and importantly, presenting a strong argument for your need for protection, either defensively or affirmatively, depending on your status in the U.S. We aim to represent your story powerfully and convincingly to immigration officials.
