Legal Immigration into the United States

America has built a reputation through the ages as a melting pot of diversity, welcoming immigrants into the nation with open arms and equal opportunity. Through the years, however, immigration has proven to be far easier said than done. With illegal immigration taking center stage in the political spotlight, it is becoming increasingly important that any attempts at immigration are made with a comprehensive understanding of the applicable laws. Any mishandling of the case can lead to unnecessary complications and failure in your attempt to secure a visa or green card or to avoid removal.

For this reason, when you are facing any type of legal issue relating to federal immigration law, it is vital that you do not hesitate to seek the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney. By hiring an Immigration lawyer in San Jose to guide you through the process and represent you with the authorities from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the Department of State, you can greatly improve your chances of success. At Law Office of Samuel Maverick we understand how stressful and confusing it can be to work your way through the immigration process, and we offer you the benefit of our experience and dedication to results.

Areas of Immigration Law Practice

Family Petitions
In order to bring family members to the U.S., you must first have been granted U.S. citizenship or have become a lawful permanent resident. There are several types of family-based immigrant visas, depending on the relationship between the foreign national and the U.S. citizen or green card holder.

Green Cards
A green card is technically referred to as a United States permanent resident card. This formal ID allows a person to apply for naturalization after five years.

Naturalization
If you were not born a U.S. citizen, you can apply for naturalization. The Immigration and Nationality Act outlines a number of requirements for those who want to achieve the benefits of full citizenship, and we can guide you through every step of the process.

Permanent Residency
Becoming a lawful permanent resident by securing a green card has the potential to make your life far easier because it provides you with the security that comes with knowing that you have legally immigrated and can begin building a new life here. Unfortunately, green cards are in high demand and the process to get one can be challenging.

U.S. Citizenship
There are only two ways to become a U.S. citizen: by birth or through law. If you were not born a U.S. citizen, then you will have to obtain this status by completing the process of naturalization. Let an immigration attorney from our law firm guide you throughout the entire process.
