Empathetic and Persistent Representation from an Arizona Immigrant Attorney
We understand how real the threat of removal is for an immigrant. As an immigrant herself, principal attorney Lelia Adams had to watch her mother be deported back to her home country when they came to the US. In response, she worked hard to become a lawyer and successfully got her mother back. This is the same type of perseverance and hard work you can expect on your immigration case as well. Unlike most immigration lawyers in the area, Attorney Adams has firsthand experience as an immigrant and can genuinely relate to your worries and concerns. She will fight hard for your visa petition, asylum request, and VAWA application, as well as defend you steadfastly against deportation actions.
Family and Nonimmigrant Visa Petitions
Two common types of immigration matters our firm handles are family-based visas and nonimmigrant visas. United States citizens (USC) or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) who are 21 years or older can petition for foreign family members to legally come to the United States. Citizens can apply for an Immediate Relative Visa for close family members, or citizens and LPRs can apply for Family Preference Visas for specific, more distant family members.
Visas are also offered to individuals looking to work for a period of time in the US, and there are over 20 categories of nonimmigrant visas available to foreign nationals. These include the Student F-1 Visa, the employment-based H-1B Visa, and the K-1 Fiancé Visa. We also assist individuals on matters related to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA). In any case, Essien Law Firm can help you determine which visa is most suitable for your immigration needs and how to build a strong application.
Protecting Women Under VAWA
Essien Law Firm also assists spouses looking to obtain permanent residency in the US without needing a partner who is acting abusively to sponsor them. Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), we can help you self-petition for lawful permanent residency status or explore other legal options for resolving your immigration concerns as an alien spouse. We firmly believe in your right to lead a safe, healthy life in the US, so we will champion your case and advocate tirelessly for your rights under VAWA in Arizona. Our experienced immigration law attorney is more than prepared to guide you through the immigration process and offer an empathetic and supportive shoulder in the face of domestic abuse.
Contact us today for a consultation at (602) 833-2650 or via message and let the lawyer who was once an immigrant fight for you.
