Facing deportation is one of the most challenging and stressful experiences an immigrant can endure. At Arora Kamal, we specialize in removal defense, providing vigorous legal representation for individuals facing deportation or removal from the U.S. Whether you’ve been placed in deportation proceedings due to visa overstays, criminal convictions, or other violations, we are here to help you fight to stay in the country.

Understanding Removal Proceedings

Removal proceedings begin when the Department of Homeland Security issues a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court. During these proceedings, an immigration judge will determine whether you should be deported or allowed to remain in the U.S. It’s crucial to have an experienced attorney by your side during these hearings, as the outcome could drastically affect your future.

At Arora Kamal, we explore every available option to defend you, including:

• Cancellation of removal: If you’ve been in the U.S. for a specific number of years and meet certain criteria, you may be eligible for cancellation of removal, allowing you to remain in the country.
• Adjustment of status: If you’re eligible for a green card, we may be able to adjust your status and halt removal proceedings.
• Asylum: If you’re facing persecution in your home country, we can help you apply for asylum as a defense to removal.
• Waivers: If your removal is based on a past violation, such as a criminal conviction or visa overstay, we can pursue a waiver to cancel or delay deportation.

Fighting for Your Future

The stakes in removal defense are high, and our team is committed to building the strongest possible defense for you. We will gather evidence, prepare legal arguments, and represent you in immigration court to protect your rights and fight for your ability to stay in the U.S.

If you or a loved one is facing deportation, contact Arora Kamal immediately. We will act quickly to build your defense and provide the aggressive representation you need.

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone, offering security, stability, and the full rights of citizenship. At Arora Kamal, we help individuals navigate the complex naturalization process, providing expert legal guidance from start to finish.

The Path to Citizenship

Naturalization is the process by which lawful permanent residents (green card holders) become U.S. citizens. To qualify for naturalization, you must meet several key requirements, including:

• Being a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years (3 years if you’re married to a U.S. citizen)
• Demonstrating continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S.
• Passing an English language and U.S. civics test
• Showing good moral character, which typically means not having a serious criminal record

At Arora Kamal, we assist with every step of the naturalization process, ensuring that all paperwork is properly completed and submitted, and preparing you for your naturalization interview and tests.

Overcoming Challenges in the Naturalization Process

The naturalization process can be complex, and many applicants face challenges such as criminal history, issues with continuous residency, or difficulty passing the language or civics tests. Our team is here to address these challenges head-on. We can help you prepare for your interview, request exemptions for language tests if applicable, and provide solutions if you encounter any obstacles along the way.

The Benefits of U.S. Citizenship

Becoming a U.S. citizen offers numerous benefits, including the ability to vote, access federal jobs, sponsor family members for immigration, and travel with a U.S. passport. Citizenship also provides permanent security, as U.S. citizens cannot be deported or lose their legal status.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward becoming a U.S. citizen, contact Arora Kamal today. We’ll guide you through the process and help you achieve your goal of citizenship.

At Arora Kamal, we are dedicated to providing legal assistance to individuals who are facing extreme circumstances and are in need of humanitarian relief. U.S. immigration law offers several forms of protection for individuals fleeing persecution, violence, natural disasters, or other serious threats in their home countries. Our team of experienced immigration attorneys can help you apply for various forms of humanitarian relief, ensuring that your rights are protected and you have the best chance of remaining safe in the U.S.

Forms of Humanitarian Relief

Humanitarian relief is available to those who can demonstrate that they are facing serious harm or threats in their home countries. Some of the most common forms of relief include:

• Temporary Protected Status (TPS): TPS is granted to individuals from countries experiencing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other temporary conditions that make it unsafe to return. We assist clients in obtaining TPS, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. while their home country remains unstable.
• U Visas: U visas are available to victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime. Our firm helps clients apply for U visas, providing them with a pathway to legal status and eventual permanent residency.
• T Visas: T visas are available to victims of human trafficking who are in the U.S. as a result of being trafficked for labor or sex. We guide trafficking victims through the application process, offering compassionate support as they seek protection and justice.
• Humanitarian Parole: Humanitarian parole allows individuals who do not qualify for traditional visas or asylum to enter the U.S. temporarily due to urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.

Why Choose Us?

Navigating the complexities of humanitarian relief requires a knowledgeable and empathetic legal team. At Arora Kamal, we have the experience and dedication to fight for your rights and ensure that you receive the protection you deserve. Whether you are seeking TPS, a U visa, or any other form of relief, we will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Family reunification is one of the cornerstones of U.S. immigration policy, and at Arora Kamal, we help families stay together by assisting with family and marriage-based green card applications. Whether you are sponsoring a spouse, parent, child, or sibling, we are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your petition is handled efficiently and with the highest level of care.

Spousal Green Cards

One of the most common ways to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. is through a marriage-based green card. If you are married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible to apply for a green card, allowing you to live and work in the U.S. with your spouse. We help couples navigate the often complex and document-heavy process of applying for a marriage-based green card, ensuring that all paperwork is completed correctly and that any potential obstacles are addressed.

We also assist with conditional green cards for couples who have been married for less than two years, helping you remove the conditions after two years to secure your permanent green card.

Family-Based Green Cards

In addition to spousal green cards, U.S. citizens and permanent residents can sponsor certain family members for green cards, including:

• Parents
• Children (unmarried under 21)
• Siblings (for U.S. citizens only)

Our firm will help you file the necessary petitions, provide evidence of your relationship, and guide your family member through the interview and approval process.

Overcoming Challenges in Family-Based Immigration

We understand that family-based immigration can be complex, especially if there are issues such as prior immigration violations, criminal history, or missing documents. Our team at Arora Kamal works diligently to overcome these challenges, providing creative solutions and strong advocacy to ensure that your family members have the best chance of being approved for a green card.

Crimmigration, the intersection of criminal law and immigration law, can have serious consequences for non-citizens. A criminal conviction, even for a minor offense, can result in deportation or denial of immigration benefits. At Arora Kamal, we specialize in defending immigrants facing criminal charges and navigating the complexities of crimmigration cases to protect your rights and immigration status.

Understanding Crimmigration

Certain criminal offenses, including both misdemeanors and felonies, can trigger removal proceedings or bar non-citizens from obtaining visas, green cards, or citizenship. Crimes such as drug offenses, domestic violence, theft, and fraud are considered “crimes involving moral turpitude” (CIMT) or aggravated felonies, both of which can have devastating consequences for immigrants.

If you are facing criminal charges, it’s essential to work with an attorney who understands both criminal law and immigration law. At Arora Kamal, we collaborate with criminal defense attorneys and immigration experts to provide a comprehensive defense that protects both your legal rights and your immigration status.

Consequences of Criminal Convictions

The consequences of a criminal conviction for non-citizens can include:

• Deportation/Removal: Certain criminal convictions can lead to removal proceedings, putting your immigration status and ability to remain in the U.S. at risk.
• Denial of Immigration Benefits: A criminal record can result in the denial of visas, green cards, or citizenship applications.
• Bars to Reentry: A criminal conviction can prevent you from reentering the U.S. if you leave, even for a short period.

Protecting Your Rights and Status

At Arora Kamal, we work tirelessly to defend non-citizens facing criminal charges, seeking to minimize the impact on your immigration status. We will explore all possible defense strategies, including negotiating reduced charges, seeking alternatives to conviction, and pursuing post-conviction relief to help you avoid deportation or loss of immigration benefits.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) offers protection from deportation and work authorization for individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children. AArora Kamal, we assist DACA recipients with the renewal process, ensuring that they maintain their legal protections and continue to build their lives in the U.S.

The DACA Program

DACA provides temporary relief from deportation for individuals who meet specific criteria, including:

• Arrival in the U.S. before the age of 16
• Continuous residence in the U.S. since June 15, 2007
• No lawful status as of June 15, 2012
• No serious criminal convictions

While DACA does not provide a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship, it offers critical protection and work authorization for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.

The Renewal Process

DACA status must be renewed every two years. If you are a current DACA recipient, it is crucial to begin the renewal process well before your status expires. Our team at Arora Kamal helps DACA recipients complete and submit their renewal applications, ensuring that all necessary documentation is included and that the process goes smoothly.

We will also work with you to address any issues that may arise during the renewal process, such as changes in employment, travel, or criminal history. If your DACA status has lapsed, we can help you explore options for renewal or alternative forms of relief.

Protect Your Future

DACA recipients are an integral part of our communities, and we are committed to helping you protect your future. Contact Arora Kamal to begin your DACA renewal process and ensure that you remain eligible for work authorization and deportation protection.

At Arora Kamal, we assist refugees who are seeking resettlement in the U.S. by providing expert legal representation and support throughout the refugee process.

The Consular Process

For many immigrants, the path to obtaining a green card begins with consular processing. This process involves submitting a petition (such as Form I-130 or I-140), receiving approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and attending an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Our firm provides support at every stage, from preparing your paperwork to representing you in your consular interview.

At Arora Kamal, we help employers navigate the PERM labor certification process, ensuring that all requirements are met to successfully sponsor foreign employees.

Understanding the PERM Process

The PERM process involves proving to the U.S. Department of Labor that no qualified U.S. workers are available to fill the job position being offered to a foreign worker. This includes:

• Advertising the job position
• Interviewing U.S. candidates
• Filing the labor certification application with the Department of Labor
