Unfortunately, many people who arrive into the United States in an illegal manner, no matter why, choose to remain trapped into the legal darkness of this status although opportunities for them to adopt a path to change this status to a legal one may actually exist. Let’s say you have been in the United States for a number or weeks, or months, or even years with no legal status and continually looking over your shoulder concerned that the government or some ICE agents may identify you and possibly come over to take you in custody.  What should you do? You feel helpless. You do not know who to speak to. You may even be afraid that speaking with a lawyer or attempting to legalize your status in the United States may reveal your presence and because of that you may be taken into custody. Thus, should you continue to live in fear?

Are there any options available out there for you?

And these are just a few questions to get started with. The reality is that many times there are options available to you in order to initiate a path toward attempting to obtain a legal status in the US. How do you identify these options? How do you understand them? That is what Central Law Group lawyers are here for. With many years of experience in the immigration field and noting that some of our lawyers being immigrants themselves, we are best positioned to offer you the best solution based on the facts and circumstances of your situation. With each and every case we take on, we tailor our approach to the circumstances of your case and we explain, in plain language, everything you need to know about the path ahead. This includes the easy steps and the possible road blocks and how to overcome them. Perhaps you are married with a United States citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR or Green Card Holder as many know it), or perhaps your child is over 21 and is he or she is a United States citizen or legal permanent resident. Does that help you? It is also possible you have no one here, you are not married, you have no children and seemingly no hope.

Complex immigration issues solved

However, even so there are still options available to you. But note that pursuing the opportunity to acquire legal status in the United States is a complex and often time-consuming path that follows a labyrinth of rules, regulations, policies, and laws. Because of that even a small oversight or mistake on this path, or in your application, or in the answers you provide may mean the difference between success and failure. That is where our Central Law Group lawyers come into the picture: the way we approach your case is based on our in depth understanding and knowledge of immigration laws, and of what is or is not possible to do. Our Central Law Group lawyers take pride in the fact that they present you with objective options and with a reasonable path of achieving the desired result if available. For example very few people know that if their husband or wife is a United States or LPR citizen it is not enough to merely have a petition approved. Such an application called and I-130 family petition is only the 1st step toward legalizing your status in the United States.

Get the perfect immigration legal help

Most of the time the 2nd step of this path which is called “adjustment of status” requires the submission of a waiver which is a request for a pardon from the US government; in essence it is a plea with the United States government to forgive for you for having been present in the United States illegally, whether for 10 months or 25 years. Often times more than one single type of waiver is required for example if you had committed a criminal office, even a small one like a misdemeanor, a second type of waiver will probably be required as well. Conversely If you are married with an active member of the United States armed forces you may be able to adjust your status in the United States without the necessity of completing a waiver and returning to your country for an interview at the United States Consulate and therefore, save a significant amount of money and time.
