Si Usted Esta en los Estados Unidos Con o Sin Visa, Este es el Momento de Arreglar su Historial Criminal

Debido a las redadas de ICE y el control inmigratorio tan estricto que se ha vivido en Georgia en los meses recientes, es de gran importancia que todas las personas en visa (o incluso sin una visa válida) tomen cuidado de sus records criminales. ¿Alguna vez usted ha sido arrestado por una ofensa criminal? Hable con un abogado criminal para ver si él puede reducir ese cargo o deshacerse de él. ¿Usted piensa que podría tener algo en su récord? No espere a que ICE toque a su puerta o a que su visa sea revocada por Servicios de Inmigración, hable con un abogado criminal antes de que esto suceda para que esta persona pueda investigar qué tipo de ofensas podrían encontrarse en su record.

Algunas personas terminan en un centro de detención antes de haber podido tener la oportunidad de contratar a un abogado criminal para tomar cuidado de ese DUI o arresto de agravo físico del que fueron arrestados mas de una década atrás. Gran error. Quince anos después, ICE tocó a sus puertas y los detuvieron. Tu record criminal no desaparece con el tiempo y no desaparece tampoco si “todo está pagado.” ICE está deteniendo a personas con DUIs y otras ofensas físicas que sucedieron en los 90s.

Si usted piensa que podría haber algo en su record, no importa qué tan viejo, por favor contacte a un abogado criminal o un abogado de inmigración que también pudiera asesorarle en cómo deshacerse de estos cargos de su récord criminal. Mas vale prevenir que lamentar.

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

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

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?

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...
