Facing the intricacies of the U.S. immigration system can be a daunting task. The good news is that you don’t have to go it alone. At Basseliz Law Group, we have a proven track record helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of immigration law.

Whether you’re seeking citizenship, dealing with visa issues, or facing deportation, our firm is committed to helping you achieve your goals.

  • Asylum. This is a form of protection that allows you to remain in the United States instead of being deported to a country where you might endure persecution or harm.
  • Visa U. A type of visa designed for victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement.
  • Cancellation of Removal. A crucial defense against deportation, the cancellation removal process allows you to ask an immigration judge to adjust your status from deportable alien to one lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
  • Family Petitions. This provision helps eligible relatives of a U.S. citizen to apply for a Green Card.
  • Waivers and I-212. Allows you to request permission to reapply for admission into the United States after deportation or removal.
  • Consular Appointments. If you live outside the United States and are the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and an immigrant visa number is immediately available to you, we can help you apply at a U.S. Department of State consulate for an immigrant visa in order to come to the United States and be admitted as a permanent resident.
