Universal City, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

The question is what are your equities and the type of crime for which you are serving a felony sentence. If you wish to know if you can avoid deportation, you should have a friend or relative take your entire criminal file to an immigration lawyer for an assessment of your chances. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

As a legal permanent resident, you can't petition for your mother. As a US citizen, you can petition for her and adjust her status in the US if she entered legally if she otherwise qualifies.

Hello: *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.
