Aquí hay otra razón por la que deberías contratar un abogado para que te represente en tu entrevista con inmigración!

Aquí hay otra razón por la que deberías contratar un abogado para que te represente en tu entrevista con inmigración: Varios oficiales de inmigración de USCIS, incluyendo  supervisores, han tomado la posición de que una condena por DUI que contenga una sentencia de 12 meses de encarcelamiento servido en periodo de probación, es un delito agravado bajo las leyes de inmigración y que por lo tanto hacían al individuo deportable o inadmisible.
 
Es esto correcto? NO!. Bajo las leyes de inmigración, un individuo ha cometido un delito agravado  si el o ella ha sido condenado por un crimen de violencia sentenciado a 12 meses de encarcelamiento. El DUI no es un crimen de violencia, y por lo tanto NO PUEDE ser considerado un crimen agravado.
 
Durante una entrevista para la green card esta semana, un oficial de inmigración estuvo a punto de denegar la aplicación de nuestro cliente por el error de creer que un DUI era un crimen agravado.  Después de intervenir por nuestro cliente y explicar lo que realmente dice la ley acerca de delitos agravados, el oficial de inmigración se dio cuenta de que estaba equivocado y admitió que había denegado varias aplicaciones basado en su incorrecta interpretación de la ley.  Ahora solo me pregunto cuantas personas han sido denegadas de manera errónea por la falta de conocimiento legal y entrenamiento apropiado de los oficiales de inmigración, causándole a los aplicantes costos extras, dolores de cabeza e incluso ordenes de deportación. Tristemente varios aplicantes han decidido no hacer nada acerca de esas denegaciones injustas pensando que los oficiales de inmigración estaban en lo correcto. Los aplicantes deberían entender que los oficiales de inmigración no son abogados y que muchas veces carecen de conocimiento profundo acerca de las leyes de inmigración y su procedimiento.
Es por esto que tener un abogado asistiéndolo en las entrevistas de inmigración es muy importante ya que puede prevenir que el oficial tome una decisión incorrecta basada en una interpretación errónea de la ley. Si usted piensa que su aplicación pudo haber sido denegada injustamente, contacte un abogado de inmigración inmediatamente.

If You Are An Immigrant (even a US Citizen), Here Are 9 Things You Should Know

By
Are you a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident, Visa Holder, or an Undocumented Immigrant? We recommend you take the following steps to protect yourself in our current version of America. The last couple of weeks have reminded immigrants, even naturalized U.S. citizens, that they were not born in the United States. Our office has received countless phone calls, emails, and social media messages from people worrying about what their family’s future in the United States holds. Most people want to know what they can do now to protect themselves from what promises to be a wave of anti-immigration activity by the federal government. Trump's Executive Order on Interior Enforcement has some provisions that should make most Americans shiver.  We recommend the following actions for each of the following groups: Naturalized U.S. citizens. In particular if you have a foreign accent, and you are traveling within 100 miles of any US Border (including the oceans...

Seven Reasons Why the Georgia Legislature Should Repeal HB-87

By
Recently the Alabama Attorney General called on the Alabama State Legislature to repeal parts of Alabama's horrid anti-immigration law ( HB 56), because of the "unintended" consequences of the bill (frankly, what happened was not unintended). Because of the similarity between the two laws, Georgia's Speaker of the House, David Ralston was asked whether Georgia Legislature would repeal part or all of HB 87, Georgia own anti-immigration law. HB 87 has caused almost a half a billion dollars in damage to the Georgia economy (along with untold suffering in Georgia's immigrant communities) without any noted or reported positive effect. Speaker Ralston plainly stated that the Georgia Legislature would NOT do anything to repeal HB 87 . While it understandable why a politician would not admit that a pet bill he shepherded and pushed through the state legislature was simply bad law, it is also clear that Speaker Ralston is facing a challenge on his RIGHT in th...

Why is USCIS Taking So Long to Renew DACA Work Permits?

By
If the calls to our office are any indicator, there are thousands of DACA recipients whose work permit applications were filed at least three months prior to expiration, who are still waiting for their renewed work permits.  Without renewed permits, these individuals lose the right to work legally, the right to drive, and may once again accrue unlawful presence. The DHS published a notice in October 2014 advising DACA recipients that they could file their request for extension up to 150 days (5 months) prior to expiration.  As with all things government, very few of the DACA recipients, who tend not to frequent government websites, knew about the memo and many did not file so far before expiration perhaps thinking that extending a work permit was a like extending a drivers license, its is done in a few minutes.  As an experienced immigration lawyer will tell you, the USCIS does nothing quickly, and certainly does not worry that a person may lose their job or their drive...
