Immigration and Visa Attorney
People want permission to live and work in the United States for many different reasons. Countless generations of United States citizens know that immigrating to the United States is not always easy but many who accomplish this feel that the benefits of being here far outweigh the hardships they endured to get here. Some of the many people who have immigrated over the years have been refugees that were seeking asylum for fear of persecution in their home country. To be granted asylum, one has to prove that they are fearful of this persecution and that if they did not leave their home country, they would be persecuted on account of one of the five grounds the U.S. gives protection for: race, religion, nationality or ethnicity, political opinion, or particular social group.Many other people who seek permission to lawfully reside in the United States through a visa are not looking to become citizens at the moment, rather they just want official permission to be here for a variety of different reasons including school, work and/or marriage.
