Highland, CA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

There are various ways of beating a deportation. *Removal/Deportation Representation* It is critically important that you get qualified and expert representation for the deportation/removal hearings. The Government will try to get the deportation issued. Neither the Immigration Judge, nor the Trial Attorney are there to help you. There are different forms of relief available which could result the granting of Lawful Permanent Residence. However, this requires large applications to be prepared and the necessity to prepare for trial. My firm has done this for several years, and if done properly, there is a very reasonable chance that it will be successful. If not done properly, the deportation order will be issued and your current way of living in the United States will end and you will either be on the run or be forcibly removed from the United States.

It may be possible for you to obtain residency but based on your question, there is not enough information for me to know. I recommend looking into family based options (to see if you were directly or indirectly listed on an application from family or a family member's employer). You may also be from a country where other emergency options are available. I say this a lot but you should seek a consult from a competent immigration attorney to review your entire case. That is the only way for you to determine eligibility for a green card.

Since your fiance is a green card holder, you will not be able to adjust status immediately when you get married because you have to wait until your priority date becomes current. Spouses of U.S. citizens do not have to wait for a priority date to become current in order to adjust status. Depending on how long it is before your fiance becomes a citizen, it might be worthwhile to wait until he/she naturalizes. You may also face issues with renewing your student visa if you get married now as the issue of dual intent will come up. There are a lot of things to take into consideration with your situation that cannot be fully answered in a public forum. I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney to discuss the facts specific to your case.
