Immigration Law

When it comes to immigration matters, time is often of the essence. Whether you are seeking to reunite with loved ones or ensure your family stays together, navigating the complexities of immigration law can be overwhelming. Thus, it is crucial to work with an experienced immigration attorney who understands the intricacies of the legal process and can help expedite your case as efficiently as possible.

At Santelises Law, we are committed to guiding you through every step of your immigration journey. Our team is equipped to handle all aspects of your case with the care, expertise, and urgency it deserves.

Asylum

Santelises Law has over 10 years of experience in successfully helping clients navigate the complex asylum application process. We represent asylum seekers before the local asylum office and in immigration court. Asylum provides protection to individuals fleeing persecution in their home countries. We have proudly represented clients from all over the world to secure their safety and future in the U.S.

Family Petitions & Green Cards

We assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in petitioning for family members to apply for U.S. residency. Our team helps guide you through the process of obtaining green cards for spouses, children, parents, and other eligible relatives both inside and outside the U.S.

Humanitarian Cases

We help both male and female victims of domestic violence, trafficking, parental abuse/neglect and other crimes seek protection and, ultimately, U.S. residency through humanitarian relief programs like VAWA, U Visas, T Visas, and Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status. Our firm is dedicated to supporting vulnerable individuals in securing their legal status and safety in the U.S.

Removal Defense

If you or a loved one is facing deportation, we provide skilled legal defense throughout their removal proceedings to help them remain in the U.S. We explore all available avenues for relief to keep families together and advocate for you or your loved one before the immigration judge to ensure the most favorable outcome possible.

Waivers of Inadmissibility

For individuals with prior immigration violations, such as prior removal orders, false documents, or unlawful presence in the U.S., we help secure waivers of inadmissibility. In many family-based cases, a waiver is what is standing between you and your green card. Our goal is to remove this obstacle so you can move forward with your life in the U.S. and obtain your permanent residency status.

Naturalization/Citizenship

We guide lawful permanent residents through the process of becoming U.S. citizens through naturalization. Our firm ensures that all necessary steps are carefully completed, from preparing your application to addressing any potential issues so you can feel confident while you take the next big step in your life in the U.S.

& More

Aside from the areas listed above, we assist clients with various other immigration programs such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Military Parole in Place (PIP), Medical Deferred Action, and more. Whether you seek work authorization, protection from deportation, or lawful immigration status, we can help you explore your options and choose the best path.
