When you are struggling with an immigration matter or family law issue, the steps that you take today can have lasting repercussions years down the road. There's a lot at stake, which is why it is smart to work with a qualified legal professional. Since 2013, our attorneys at Griffin and Griffin have helped citizens from all over the world and residents in Anne Arundel County resolve their immigration and family law concerns.
Across the globe, the promise of freedom and opportunity draws countless individuals to U.S. shores. If it is your goal to become a U.S. citizen, however, making this dream a reality can be difficult and overwhelming. At Griffin and Griffin, we know how challenging the immigration process is because we've gone through it.
Most visas are temporary. They allow travelers to remain in the United States for a specified period of time, depending on the purpose of the trip. These are called nonimmigrant visas. On the other hand, when a person immigrates to the United States to live here permanently, he or she receives a green card as proof of "permanent residency" status.
You must have been a legal permanent resident for five years (or three, if you're married to a U.S. citizen.). You must have lived continuously in the United States for five years, with documentary proof showing your physical presence for at least 30 months out of the five years. You must demonstrate that you've had a good moral character for at least five years and that you continue to have good moral character.
If you have overstayed your visa or entered the United States illegally, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may arrest you and seek to have you removed from the United States. This is commonly called "deportation" although the legal term is "removal." A removal proceeding is quite similar to criminal proceedings, and you need a good immigration trial lawyer, rather than a paper pusher.
