OUR IMMIGRATION SERVICES

At MB Law, we offer a wide range of immigration services to help individuals and families through the complex U.S. immigration system. Here’s a look at some of the ways we can assist you:

Removal Defense

If you or a loved one is facing deportation, we provide strong legal defense to help you stay in the U.S. We represent clients in immigration court, helping them fight removal orders and build a case for why they should remain in the country. We work hard to protect your rights and give you the best chance of staying with your family and continuing your life here.

Asylum

If you are fleeing violence, persecution, or danger in your home country, we can help you apply for asylum in the U.S. Our team will work with you to gather evidence and build a strong case to show that you need protection. We handle different types of asylum cases, including political, religious, and gender-based claims, and guide you through the process with care and respect.

Family Immigration

Bringing family members to the U.S. can be a complicated process, but we are here to help. Whether you’re looking to reunite with your spouse, children, or parents, we assist with family-based immigration petitions and adjustment of status applications. We ensure that everything is done correctly, so you can be together with your loved ones in the U.S.

U Visas

The U Visa is available for victims of certain crimes who have suffered abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution. If you or someone you know has been a victim of a crime and is cooperating with law enforcement, we can help you apply for a U Visa. This visa not only offers protection but can also lead to a path toward permanent residency.

Special Juvenile Status

Children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by their parents may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). This status helps protect vulnerable minors by providing them with a path to legal residency in the U.S. If you know of a child in need of protection, we can help guide you through the SIJS process.

Bond Proceedings

If you or a family member has been detained by ICE, we can represent you in bond proceedings to help secure release from detention. We work to show the court that you are not a flight risk or a danger to the community, giving you a chance to fight your immigration case while remaining with your family instead of being held in a detention center.

Green Cards

Obtaining a green card is a key step toward permanent residency in the U.S. We assist clients with various green card applications, whether through family sponsorship, asylum, or other eligible paths. We make sure the process is smooth and straightforward, helping you achieve legal residency so you can live and work in the U.S. permanently.

Work Permits

Being able to work legally in the U.S. is essential for supporting yourself and your family. We help individuals apply for work authorization so they can secure jobs and build their lives here. Whether you are waiting for your green card or asylum decision, we’ll help you get the work permit you need to work legally in the U.S.

If this is your situation, we can help you apply for asylum and protect your right to speak your mind without fear.

Religious Asylum

If you are being persecuted because of your religious beliefs, you may be eligible for religious asylum. This type of asylum protects people who are not allowed to freely practice their faith in their home country.

We can help you build a strong case to stay in the U.S. where you can live without the fear of being harmed for who you are.

Asylum Based on Nationality or Ethnicity

Some people are persecuted because of their nationality, ethnicity, or because they belong to a specific group in their country.

Family-Based Asylum Claims

Families who have been persecuted together or whose members are in danger due to their political beliefs, religion, or other reasons can apply for asylum together. We help families apply as a unit, ensuring that everyone is protected and that they can stay together in the U.S.
