Need Help With Your Visa?

The immigration law team at JacksonWhite Law have successfully helped thousands of clients obtain visas and green cards. Regardless of what type of visa you’re applying for, our experienced attorneys can help.

The best time to enlist an immigration attorney’s assistance is before filing your visa application, but it’s never too late to ask for help. If your application has stalled, was recently denied, or USCIS is requesting additional information, our legal team can help to get your application back on track and approved in a timely manner.

Facing Removal Proceedings in Peoria

Deportation is a hot point in modern American politics. Many cities are experiencing drastic increases in removal proceedings, and the legal landscape is increasingly uncertain.

As the situation continues to evolve, it helps to have an experienced immigration attorney in your corner who is willing to aggressively defend against your deportation. There are a surprising number of ways that you can prove that you deserve to stay in the United States, but you’ll need a great attorney to present the case and convince the court.

Even in unfortunate situations where removal is inevitable, there are benefits to working with an immigration law attorney. Your attorney can work with immigration officials to let you leave the country voluntarily, which makes it significantly easier to obtain a US visa in the future.

Assistance With Deferred Action & DACA in Peoria

DACA is another political flashpoint, which unfortunately leaves more than 700,000 immigrants uncertain of their future in the United States. As with deportation and removals, it helps to have a seasoned immigration attorney at your side when dealing with DACA.

The good news is that while the future of the DACA program is uncertain, most immigrants are eligible to renew if they’ve had DACA previously or are currently approved. That said, it’s important to renew your application immediately if your DACA expires within the next 12 months, so don’t hesitate to speak with an attorney if you need help with your renewal application.

The Path to Naturalized Citizenship in Peoria

For many immigrants, working towards naturalized American citizenship is the ultimate goal. The road to naturalization is long and challenging, but with the help of an experienced immigration law attorney, it’s absolutely possible.

Our immigration law team in Peoria has helped numerous clients reach their goal of naturalized citizenship, and we’re excited to help you on your journey towards achieving your dream of becoming a citizen.

Peoria Business- & Employment-Based Visas

One of the biggest hurdles to obtaining a visa is proving financial stability and employment. Fortunately, these barriers are directly resolved with employment- and business-based visas for permanent immigrant workers, student visitors, and temporary workers.

Whether you’re applying for a green card or work visa, the immigration law team at JacksonWhite Law is here to help. We’ve helped hundreds of clients with business and employment immigration services, so we know how to coordinate with your employer to get all of the necessary authorizations that USCIS requires to approve your application.

Non-Immigrant Investment Visas in Peoria

If you’re a non-immigrant, foreign entrepreneur who wishes to travel to and/or work in the United States temporarily, you may be eligible for an E-2 Visa. Whether you’re evaluating potential investments in the United States or would like to work for an investment vehicle company in the United States, contact our Peoria immigration law team today to see if you qualify for an investment visa and how we can help to expedite the process.

USCIS Petition Waivers in Peoria

USCIS offers a number of waivers for applicants who normally wouldn’t apply for immigration benefits, but it’s a complicated process with strict eligibility standards. The good news is that negative factors like an expired visa, criminal record, and fraudulent applications can be overcome — but it’ll require the assistance of a seasoned immigration law attorney to get USCIS’ stamp of approval.

If you believe you may qualify for a waiver, contact the Peoria immigration law team as soon as possible. Time is often of the essence with waivers, and you’ll need to provide ample evidence to USCIS that you still deserve immigration benefits despite falling short of the standard eligibility requirements.

Petitioning USCIS on Behalf of a Family Member

Everyone knows that family members of US citizens and green card holders receive special consideration when it comes to immigration benefits, but many are surprised to hear about the associated restrictions and increased scrutiny that’s involved. After all, this is one of the most often abused aspects of immigration applications that results in fraudulent applications, so it makes sense that USCIS takes the matter very seriously.

Under US immigration law, green card holders are only able to petition for immigration benefits on behalf of their spouse and unmarried children. US citizens have a little more leeway, as they’re also able to petition for benefits on behalf of their parents and siblings.

That said, approval based on family unity alone is never guaranteed. You’ll still need to work with an immigration law attorney to ensure that your application doesn’t raise any red flags for fraud, and that you provide all of the necessary evidence to prove that your qualifying family member merits family unity protection.
