Supporting Your Path to the Rights and Opportunities Offered in America

If you are seeking to come to the United States, want to help someone else come to the country, or become a citizen, you need the help of an experienced, knowledgeable immigration attorney. 

Becoming an American citizen can open the door to many economic and personal opportunities for individuals who are seeking a better life. Here are a few of the immigration legal services that Zaki Ali, Trial Lawyers, offers to clients, depending on their legal needs:

• DACA: DACA stands for deferred action for childhood arrivals. It is a legal means by which qualifying adults can become citizens if they were brought into the country as young children.
• Green card applications: A green card is a visa for permanent residency. Although green card holders are not yet considered full U.S. citizens, they do enjoy many of the rights and opportunities as citizens, and it can be an essential step in the process.
• Marriage: When someone is going to marry a U.S. citizen, they can come into the country. After a certain amount of time here, they can file for naturalization.
• Naturalization application: If you want to become an American citizen, our Anderson, IN law firm can help you file your naturalization petition. We can assist you with completing the various forms that need to be filled out to ensure their accuracy and help you avoid costly mistakes that can cost you time and money.

Our immigration attorney and legal staff are committed to helping families come together and stay together.

Family-Based Immigration and Sponsorship

One of the most common ways families can stay together when coming to the U.S. is through family-based immigration and sponsorship. To sponsor a family member, a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident must file a Form I-130 petition with USCIS for each relative who wishes to immigrate. 

This process must be repeated for spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Still, it can quickly become complicated when paperwork is filled out incorrectly, proof of the relationship between the sponsor and family member is not provided, or the mandatory financial requirements are not met. 

Other issues that can cause unnecessary delays include family members who wish to come to the U.S. failing to adjust their status if already residing in the country, or delays in consular processing. 

Our Indianapolis immigration lawyer is familiar with the legal nuances and common mistakes that can delay immigration cases.  Zaki Ali has a proven record of helping individuals with family-based immigration and sponsorship issues and is happy to assist you with your legal needs. 

Avoid Deportation And Removal

In addition to helping families come into the country and become citizens, we can help protect your right to stay in America if you have been accused of a crime. A criminal charge can jeopardize your status here. 

Timely intervention is key to avoiding deportation and removal. Our immigration lawyer and legal team will do everything we can to make sure you can stay in the country. Some of the legal services we can assist with to help you avoid deportation and removal include:

• Appearing with you in immigration court and representing you in all proceedings and negotiations with federal agencies.
• Identify possible options that can avoid deportation and removal, such as applying for asylum, cancellation of removal, or an adjustment of status.
• Help you apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) if you are from a country that qualifies for this consideration.
• Represent you at a bond hearing and request that you be released while your case is pending, or request a stay of deportation.

If you are concerned about a criminal conviction affecting your status, our immigration lawyer may be able to help you obtain a waiver that could help you avoid deportation. 

How to Choose the Right Immigration Attorney

Immigration matters can be challenging due to the complex legal landscape. The immigration process involves multiple government agencies, including the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the State Department, and U.S. consulates. 

Filling out the paperwork incorrectly can lead to costly delays in your case. The most effective solution is to hire an attorney with comprehensive experience handling immigration cases. Although many attorneys claim to be able to handle immigration cases, you cannot afford not to have a skilled immigration attorney on your side who can provide the critical legal services you need. 

Before you commit to an attorney, it is best to ask others whom you trust and who have also dealt with immigration issues for recommendations. It is also wise to refer to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) website to verify an attorney’s credentials. Checking online reviews and testimonials from former clients is also a good way to determine whether your prospective attorney is the right choice for your legal needs.
