About this template Familia America Immigration Law Explains The Salt Lake City family immigration attorney at Familia America Immigration is going to spell out what kind of procedures are available to get legal status as a permanent resident in the U.S., as well as how to help your foreign-born family member get this status.

4. About this template Applicants inside the U.S. illegally If you are staying in the U.S. illegally, you may be allowed to re-enter the country legally after a specific number of months or years. Generally, this is the best solution for immigrants whose unlawful presence (illegal stay) in the U.S. is known to the U.S. government. The procedure to get legal status as a permanent U.S. resident is even easier for those who entered the country legally but had their visa expired during their stay. In that case, you are advised to speak to a family immigration lawyer.

5. About this template Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) If you are a spouse, child or parent of a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you may qualify to get legal status as permanent resident under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Generally, individuals who get legal status through the VAWA are foreign wives of U.S. citizens or green card holders who suffer from domestic abuse. If you are an undocumented immigrant and victim of domestic violence, partner abuse or other criminal acts, you may qualify for U-1 nonimmigrant status.

6. About this template Cancel deportation if you’re illegally in the U.S. More often than not, illegal immigrants in Salt Lake City, Utah and elsewhere across the U.S. pursue legal status after a deportation order has already been issued. One of the most common ways to battle the order is to hire a Salt Lake City family immigration attorney to cancel your removal. However, you must be an undocumented immigrant who has been in the U.S. for more than 10 years in order to avoid being removed.
