DACA
DACA is a program that was established by executive order in 2012. Under DACA, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) uses its discretionary authority not to pursue removal proceedings against certain individuals who came to the United States as children and who are currently residing in the U.S. without lawful status.
Deportation and Removal Defense
Any person who is not a U.S. citizen may be deported from the United States if she or he is found to have violated immigration or criminal laws. If you are subject to deportation or removal, depending on the specific facts of your case, you may be eligible for relief from deportation in forms of waivers of deportation or other forms of discretionary and/or mandatory relief.
U Visa
U visa is a very powerful immigration category for crime victims and family members inside and outside the United States. It is a nonimmigrant status created by Congress for non-citizens who have been the victims of certain qualifying crimes. Congress created this special visa category with the passing of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (including the Battered Immigrant Women’s Protection Act) in October 2000. The legislative initiative was enacted to encourage victims to report crimes and contribute to investigations and prosecutions regardless of immigration status.
Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA)
If you’re a non-citizen trapped in an abusive relationship with a U.S. citizen or permanent resident you may eligible for relief under the Violence Against Women’s Act. At Neils Law our immigration lawyers have substantial experience preparing well-documented, winning VAWA petitions.
