Comprehensive Immigration Law Representation

Family-Based Immigration Law

One of the most fulfilling aspects of our work is reuniting families. Our attorney and staff have experience in all aspects of family immigration law. We are here to help your family reach a successful conclusion to your case.

Green Cards (Family-Based or Employment-Based)

Before submitting your applications to become a legal permanent resident of the United States (a green card holder), you must meet many different aspects of the law. If you do not meet the requirements, it can easily result in an application denial or even deportation.

Applying and obtaining a green card is arguably the most challenging and vital step of your immigration journey. Becoming a legal permanent resident of the United States opens many doors! Our attorney and team will help you navigate the complex applications and processes. We will advocate for your rights.

Citizenship & Naturalization Services

The road to becoming a citizen of the United States can be very complex. There are a number of paths to citizenship, including marriage to a US citizen, establishing permanent residency for five years, honorable military service, or deriving it from a US citizen parent.

We will guide you through the citizenship process step-by-step, from evaluating your eligibility, properly submitting your application, and tracking your application up to the point of preparing you for your naturalization interview.

Visas

There are two types of visas for the United States: immigrant and nonimmigrant. Immigrant visas are intended for individuals who want to live in the United States permanently. A nonimmigrant visa is issued to individuals who wish to enter the United States on a temporary basis such as medical treatment, business, tourism, temporary work, study, or similar reasons.

Our attorney and team will work with you to determine which visa type fits your situation and then guide you through the visa application process.

Detainee Defense

Individuals who have been arrested or detained by immigration officials have certain rights. However, where they are detained can alter their rights. For example, if they have been detained or arrested at the border or in an airport, their rights may be fewer compared to individuals arrested at work or at home.

Seeking immediate legal counsel is essential to ensure you or your loved one’s rights are protected during the detection period. As your attorney, Soulmaz will aggressively defend your rights and work to reduce the chance of deportation for you or your loved one.

Removal Defense

If you or a loved one have been threatened with deportation back to your home country, you may feel like you have no one on your side. Our attorney and team have a special interest in removal defense cases.

While we serve clients across the United States, our office in Phoenix, AZ, offers us a geographic advantage for defending detainees and clients who have family members in detention and seeking bond at the US southern border.

As your attorney, Soulmaz will aggressively defend your rights through every phase of your case. She and her team will create a comprehensive legal strategy to give you the best chance of avoiding deportation.

Advance Parole

Advance parole is a permit that allows certain foreign nationals to travel abroad and re-enter the United States without an immigrant or non-immigrant visa. You must be granted this permission before leaving the country, because if you travel and have not been granted Advance Parole, you will not be permitted to re-enter the United States.

If you are suitable for an advance parole, we will work with you to prepare and file the required documents and ensure any pending Adjustment of Status or certain protected status are maintained upon your return to the country.

Asylum

In the United States, asylum immigration is open to people who have been persecuted in their home countries or have reason to believe they will be. In order to receive this type of relief, you must meet very strict requirements. Additionally, your request must be submitted with merit; otherwise, you could find yourself removed from the United States and barred from returning.

Working with an experienced immigration law firm will ensure you and your family can successfully enter and receive asylum status in the United States.

Temporary Protected Status

Temporary Protected Status is granted to nationals from designated countries affected by natural disasters, ongoing armed conflicts, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions. This immigration status provides a stay of deportation and work permit to qualified individuals. A TPS designation is established by executive action and can be made for six, 12, or 18 months at a time.

This is an older program, so our firm can help you apply for late registration. If you have questions regarding eligibility, we encourage you to reach out to our firm.

Hardship Waivers

If you or a loved one have entered the United States without documentation, typically you will have to apply for an “extreme hardship waiver” to overcome the penalty and obstacles presented by being in the country illegally. In order to file this waiver, you must provide strong evidence that you or your qualifying relative will experience hardship if you are not admitted to reside in the United States.

If you leave the United States without this waiver after petitioning, you could be barred from re-entering the United States for ten years or more. This petition process can be complicated and challenging, and if it is not handled correctly, it could result in deportation. We will work with you to ensure your waiver is appropriately filed.
