Our Immigration Services

Ramírez Law can assist you with any and all immigration-related matters. Here a just some of the immigration issues we can handle for you:

  • Citizenship: For most immigrants here in the United States, the ultimate goal is to become a U.S. citizen. Over the years, we have guided countless individuals through the naturalization process. We're ready to help you as well, and look forward to seeing you at your own naturalization ceremony.

  • Deportation Defense: The tragic reality for many non-citizens living and working in the United States is that they face the daily fear of detention and deportation. Deportation is a traumatic event that can ruin an individual's life, greatly disrupt the lives of their families, and destabilize entire communities. That's why, if you're facing deportation, you need a competent immigration attorney in your corner. We can help.

  • Family-Based Immigration: Are you a U.S. citizen looking to marry a foreign national or vice versa? Do you want to sponsor a loved one to join you here in the United States? We've got you covered. We handle all types of family-based immigration matters, and pride ourselves on our ability to keep families together here in the United States.

  • Green Card Applications: Getting a green card and becoming a lawful permanent resident of the United States is a critical step towards becoming a U.S. citizen, and if you believe you qualify for a green card or are currently seeking one, please contact us today to discuss your options.

  • Employment Immigration: Many people move to the United States to seek a better living for themselves and their families. Whether you’re a businessperson looking to expand your business in the U.S., or you’re someone seeking a temporary work visa, we can guide you through every step of the process.

  • Temporary Travel Visas: If you’re looking to visit family, take a vacation, or have brief business here in the United States, you’ll need to first obtain a visitor visa. Getting a visitor visa may be more complicated than you think, which is why you should consult with us before starting the process.

  • Asylum: If you've experienced persecution in your home country that was based on your race, religion, ethnicity, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group, then there’s a good chance you’ll qualify for asylum in the United States. We routinely represent people applying for asylum, and are ready to listen to your story to determine if asylum is the right option for you.

  • DACA: The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is a U.S. Obama Administration policy that allows some individuals who were brought to the United States as children without legal permission to request consideration for deferred action from deportation and to apply for a work permit. It provides temporary protection from deportation and allows recipients to legally work in the U.S. The DACA program has been frequently challenged in court, and will likely undergo further changes under the current Trump Administration. If you have questions about your DACA status, its renewal, or the DACA program in general, contact us immediately for professional guidance. 

  • Renunciation of U.S. Citizenship / Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Residence: If you find yourself in a situation where remaining a citizen or resident of the United States has become a burden that you are no longer willing to bear, we can guide you through the process of expatriation or formal renunciation abroad. Reach out today to discuss your options, and allow us to prepare a tailor-made plan for your needs.

  • Immigration Appeals: Court decisions don’t always work in a person’s favor. However, in many cases, it may be possible to appeal the court’s decision and obtain a reversal. If you feel like your case was wrongly decided, we can help you determine if an appeal is an option for you.
