Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Law
Our Los Angeles immigration lawyers answer common questions about U.S. immigration law and procedures.
How long does the immigration process take?
Immigration processing times vary significantly depending on the type of application, current government backlogs, and individual case factors. Family-based petitions can take anywhere from several months to many years. Employment-based cases typically take 6-18 months. Naturalization usually takes 6-12 months. During your consultation, our Los Angeles immigration lawyer will provide a more specific timeline based on your unique situation and current USCIS processing times.
What should I do if I receive a Notice to Appear in Immigration Court?
A Notice to Appear (NTA) is a serious legal document that initiates removal (deportation) proceedings. If you receive an NTA, contact an immigration attorney immediately. The notice will include your court date and location. Missing this court date can result in an automatic deportation order. Our Los Angeles immigration lawyers can represent you in immigration court, help you understand your legal options, and develop a strategy to fight removal.
Can I apply for a green card if I entered the U.S. without inspection?
Individuals who entered the United States without inspection (without going through a port of entry) face additional challenges when applying for a green card, but options may still exist. These might include marriage to a U.S. citizen combined with a waiver application, asylum, U visa for crime victims, or other humanitarian relief. Each case is unique, and our Los Angeles immigration attorneys can evaluate your specific situation to identify potential pathways to legal status.
How can I check the status of my immigration case?
USCIS provides an online case status tool where you can check your case status using your receipt number. You can also create a USCIS online account to receive case updates. For cases in immigration court, you can call the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) automated system. As a client of our firm, we monitor your case status regularly and provide updates throughout the process.
