How Can You Help with Family-Based Petitions?

Entering the United States is often not enough. Many immigrants are seeking complete, meaningful lives in the U.S., which means they want to bring their loved ones along with them. Thankfully, immigration law provides for visas and green cards for immediate family members in many cases.

On the other hand, becoming a lawful permanent resident based on a family relationship involves complex analysis and often very long wait times. Failing to follow the process to a “T” can cause significant delays, and even denial. With so much at stake, you can’t afford to take any chances.

Some examples of family-based immigration services we offer include:

IR visas – These visas apply to immediate relatives, including the person’s spouse and unmarried minor children. There is no annual cap for IR visas, and the highest priority is given to this type of visa

Family preference visas – Siblings, parents, and married adult children may all fall under different preference categories. While it may be more difficult to secure entry in this category, working with our immigration law offices can help you accomplish your goals

K visas – Visas for couples engaged to be married are known as K visas. This type of entry depends on proving you have a relationship with the other person and intend to stay married once you move to the United States

Work with a trusted advisor who has successfully completed the process countless times. Reach out to Solutions Law Iowa PLC to learn more about how you can benefit from our immigration services. We’ll help you secure a visa for your loved one based on marriage, fiancé status, parenthood, or other family relationships.

Whether you are an employer looking to hire temporary, seasonal workers or need highly skilled, full-time employees, the attorneys at Solutions Law Iowa PLC can help!

O Visas – Individuals qualify for these visas based on special occupations or extraordinary skills in such fields as science, business, athletics, education, or the arts

Does Your Law Firm Handle Humanitarian Petitions?

U.S. immigration law provides lawful status, and sometimes a path to permanent residence, for victims of qualifying crimes and human trafficking. Solutions Law Iowa PLC screens every potential client for humanitarian relief in a safe, trauma-informed environment.

For example, we have helped countless clients with U visas, which apply to individuals who are the victims or witnesses of a crime. If you help with the investigation of certain criminal activities, including murder, kidnapping, human trafficking, and other serious crimes, you may be eligible for special immigrant status.

We are also skilled at helping foreign nationals who qualify for VAWA, or the Violence Against Women Act. Any individual, including a man, woman, or child, who has been abused by a permanent resident or citizen relative may qualify for exemptions under VAWA. Contact our law firm today to learn all your options and get help through this complex process.

What Is Consular Processing?

Some immigration applications must be completed at a U.S. consulate in your home country. When you must start the immigration process from abroad, this is usually known as consular processing. Our immigration services include assistance for foreign individuals who wish to apply for admission from their home country.

During consular processing, the person submits the application and necessary documents to a U.S. consulate or embassy in the foreign country. They then undergo an interview and comply with any further requirements before being approved to enter the U.S.

Some of the basic steps of consular processing include:

Determining eligibility and filing a petition
Submitting a visa application with the necessary supporting documents
Submitting to an interview with a consular officer at a U.S. consulate or embassy in the petitioner’s home country
Waiting for a visa to be issued

Consular processing can be risky and often includes long wait times. We can help with applications, immigration appeals, and other actions regarding consular processing. Call Solutions Law Iowa PLC to learn more.

How Do I Qualify for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)?

The U.S. immigration system is a constantly changing landscape, especially with the DACA Program. One unique facet of U.S. immigration law is a potential exemption for alien residents who arrived as children. This is a complicated form of family immigration that can open up doors for individuals brought to the country as children. However, like most immigration matters, qualifying for DACA can be complex and should be handled with care.

Some requirements for DACA status include:

Entering the United States before age 16
Not having a current legal status
Being enrolled in school or having obtained a GED certificate
Not having been convicted of a felony or serious crime

With changing administrations, the requirements and allowances for DACA and other immigration laws are in a constant state of change. Don’t rely on a general practice law firm for help with such nuanced immigration legal services. Work with a lawyer who is knowledgeable about current events and is ready to act on your behalf as soon as a path opens. Call Solutions Law Iowa PLC for personalized advice and assistance on your immigration pathway.

Can Your Legal Team Help Me Obtain Lawful Permanent Residence?

Many foreign nationals hope to one day obtain a green card. Lawful permanent resident status can be a monumental achievement and comes with some major benefits. However, getting a green card is not always easy. You can rely on our immigration legal services for honest answers and tireless assistance in your search for updated status.

Some benefits that come with a green card include:

The ability to sponsor immediate family members for entrance into the U.S.
Lower rates for tuition at upper-level educational institutions
Social security benefits
Government sponsorship and benefits for higher education
The ability to travel in and out of the U.S. with greater ease
Better job opportunities

Our team of immigration attorneys will stand by your side throughout your immigration journey. We’ll help you file petitions, applications, waivers, and any other documents necessary as you seek permanent residency. Whether you are applying for a green card based on family, employment, or humanitarian eligibility, Solutions Law Iowa PLC will make the process as smooth and pain-free as possible.

What Can I Do if I Run Into an Obstacle During My Immigration Journey?

Some prospective immigrants face additional roadblocks on the path to lawful status. It is essential to work with an attorney skilled in the strategic submission of waiver applications to remove as many of those roadblocks as possible. Your immigration law firm can stand as a firm ally as you move forward despite obstacles.

In many cases, a waiver application can make all the difference in your approval. A lawyer can help individuals facing deportation avoid the immigration consequences of visa violations or other grounds for inadmissibility. In other situations, the person could qualify for an exemption through VAWA as an abuse victim or as a refugee fleeing violence in their home country.

For help understanding your options and for a strong removal defense, contact our law firm immediately. We provide compassionate and competent representation in many immigration cases, including waivers.
