Waivers of Inadmissibility

• For individuals who may be inadmissible to the U.S. due to prior immigration violations (e.g., overstaying a visa, criminal history), legal services may include filing waivers to overcome these issues and allow the individual to legally stay in the U.S.

• Advising clients on obtaining work permits and employment authorization documents (EAD) for temporary workers or individuals who have pending immigration cases.

Importance of Immigration Legal Services

Given the complexities and frequent changes in immigration law, individuals often seek legal help to avoid common pitfalls such as application denials, delays, or complications that could lead to deportation. Our attorneys or accredited representatives help clients understand the intricacies of the laws, ensure that they submit the correct forms and documents, and represent them before relevant government agencies and courts.

In many cases, these services also provide crucial guidance for individuals who might be at risk of losing their immigration status or who face challenges like criminal charges, unlawful presence, or issues related to their family or employment status.
