Special Immigrant Juveniles Throughout the entire nation of the United States there is a considerable population of children who from a very early age have had to face various adverse circumstances, living with parents who are violent and have harmed them greatly, or also being abandoned and living without any shelter. Because of this problem, Congress initially created a special immigration status for youth as a humanitarian measure for those children who are not citizens of the country. This is a measure that protects all those children who have gone through many hardships and do not have help or support from anyone within the country.

Waivers

There are various types of waivers in immigration laws for a person who wishes to enter the United States as a “non-immigrant”. There is a waiver that allows applicants for non-immigrant visas to be forgiven for almost any reason in order to be admitted to the United States.

Who can request the waiver; it can be requested by the vast majority of people who are not admitted and who wish to apply for a non-immigrant visa. For example, an individual who has been deported from the United States for a violation of criminal laws and who has returned to their country of origin and now has a professional job offer from a company located in the United States; this same individual may make a petition for a work visa and also a waiver petition for the mistakes committed in the past.

But a visa can also be denied if the person has a criminal record. For this reason it is better to have the advice of an Immigration Attorney for these types of procedures. At Progresso LEGAL we will find the best way according to current immigration laws to help you.

Deportation Defense

Deportation occurs when the government of the United States decides that a person born abroad does not have the right to remain within the territory of the United States. Therefore it uses its right to legally expel that person from the country.

If you are going through this situation for different reasons do not worry.

An Immigration Attorney from Progresso Legal Group P.C will provide you with the best advice, forms and possible methods to legally avoid deportation. Immigration attorneys can also help you with all procedures, hearings and everything related to your case related to deportation.

Motion to Reopen an Immigration Case

A motion to reopen is a legal process that can be used to reopen a case even after an immigration judge has made a decision. Our Immigration Attorneys at Progresso Legal Group have the experience and insight to have new facts considered by the judge.

In Absentia Motions to Reopen

This means that you were not present in court when the immigration judge issued the deportation order because:

You never received proper notice, or
An illness or other extraordinary circumstances prevented you from attending your court hearing on time (a 180-day deadline applies to this specific type of motion).
Timing is critical.
Motions to reopen must be filed within 90 days of an immigration judge’s order or within 90 days of an appeal decision with some exceptions.

Deadlines for motions to reopen do not apply to you:

If you wish to file a motion to reopen based on a renewed asylum application:

Normally only one motion to reopen is allowed, but there are exceptions. However, you have many more chances with your case if it is properly filed from the first time.

At Progresso Legal Group we are prepared to reopen cases, our team of attorneys has the experience to carry out these types of procedures correctly, even those that are very difficult.

Naturalization / Citizenship Application Services

The citizenship or naturalization application is the final task and the most important step in the long process that began when you first arrived in the United States. But for some people this process becomes more difficult because they prepare their own applications and instead of succeeding they end up failing the exam for not meeting all the requirements necessary for citizenship.

For that reason it is important to have the guidance of an attorney to guide you through each step. Our Immigration Attorneys at Progresso Legal Group will carefully review your situation and ensure that you meet the requirements for the naturalization process, considering that the citizenship process normally takes 3 to 4 months, and in more complex cases it may take a little longer.

If more than 120 days pass after your interview or after submitting additional requested documents, you may sue the government so that it accelerates the naturalization process.

If you have a criminal history and do not feel confident submitting an application or you are divorced from the first time you obtained your green card.

Our attorneys at Progresso Legal Group, for more than 15 years, have routinely handled the most complex naturalization applications and have obtained favorable results for our clients.

VAWA Petitions

VAWA is the Violence Against Women Act. This law provides a legal way for immigrants who are victims of abuse (Women or Men) to obtain their Green Card and thus become lawful permanent residents of the United States.

How to know if you qualify for a VAWA petition?

If you are the spouse or former spouse of an abusive lawful permanent resident (LPR) or United States citizen.
If you are divorced (FROM THE ABUSIVE LEGAL RESIDENT OR UNITED STATES CITIZEN) and you will file your VAWA petition within two years from the date your divorce became final.
NOTE: If more than two years have passed since your divorce became final, you may still qualify to file for VAWA cancellation. The removal application in immigration court may also apply, you can consult with us. Our Immigration Attorneys at PROGRESSO LEGAL will provide you with the best advice regarding this option.

Sometimes these petitions are denied because the attorneys handling the case are not committed to the client and their situation.
