Many of my clients arrived without visas or were not inspected at the border. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for asylum, humanitarian parole, or cancellation of removal. I’ll assess your eligibility and explain your options clearly.
Yes, there are exceptions to the 1-year deadline, especially for individuals who’ve experienced recent changes in circumstances or who were minors when they arrived. I have helped many clients apply even after this deadline.
I have handled several cases involving orphaned children and family reunification. Options may include humanitarian parole, special immigrant status, or adoption-based petitions. Every case requires a personalized strategy.
Missing a hearing is serious but not always the end of your case. I help clients file motions to reopen or stay removal, especially in cases where language barriers, fear, or misinformation caused the absence.
Depending on the court backlog or USCIS delays, asylum cases may take months or even years. I stay on top of policy changes to help you prepare for interviews or hearings in a timely, organized manner.
