Keeping American Families Together & Removal Proceedings

On June 20, 2024, President Biden is announced that the Department of Homeland Security will take action to ensure that U.S. citizens with noncitizen spouses and children can keep their families together.

This new process will help certain noncitizen spouses and children apply for lawful permanent residence – status that they are already eligible for – without leaving the country.

These actions will promote family unity and strengthen our economy, providing a significant benefit to the country and helping U.S. citizens and their noncitizen family members stay together.

In order to be eligible, noncitizens must – as of June 17, 2024 – have resided in the United States for 10 or more years and be legally married to a U.S. citizen, while satisfying all applicable legal requirements. On average, those who are eligible for this process have resided in the U.S. for 23 years.

Those who are approved after DHS’s case-by-case assessment of their application will be afforded a three-year period to apply for permanent residency. They will be allowed to remain with their families in the United States and be eligible for work authorization for up to three years. This will apply to all married couples who are eligible.

This action will protect approximately half a million spouses of U.S. citizens, and approximately 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a U.S. citizen.

Deportation & Removal Proceedings

We represent clients before the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), Immigration Court and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

Can You Do it Yourself?

Some of our clients have tried to resolve their immigration issues directly with the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). However, it is easy to make mistakes that end up costing precious time, and those delays may be much more expensive than professional immigration legal services. Our immigration clients find that it is worthwhile to ensure that family-based visas and employment-based visas are done correctly the first time, to maximize the chances of a successful outcome as quickly as possible.
