Family and Employment Based Immigration

Mirque Law assists United States citizens and Lawful permanent residents to secure immigrant and non-immigrant visas for close family members. Examples of these visas include: fiancé (K-1), spouse, children and parent entry into the United States. Mirque Law also prepares citizenship through naturalization petitions for permanent residents.

Mirque Law also handles the visa needs of employers ranging from small to big companies. Examples of business immigration services include: H-1B (Specialty Occupation); L-1 (Intracompany Transfer); R-1 (Religious Worker); O-1 and P-1 (Extraordinary Ability Persons – Athletes, Entertainers, Models, Scientists, and Businesspersons) and EB employer sponsored permanent resident applications.

Deportation and Asylum

Facing removal proceedings can be frightening. For people who have spent a long time in the United States, their home countries are distant memories. The lives here are all they know and the prospect of leaving the United States is terrifying. Maybe you have a relative in detention at this very moment. They don’t know what to expect or what is going to happen to them. Mirque Law can help. The process is complicated and there are many rules to follow to protect the person in custody, or you. Mirque Law will fight for you.  You need an experienced  removal attorney on your side.

Asylum is a type of legal protection granted to individuals in the United States who meet certain criteria. With Mirque Law’s help, these individuals must prove that they have been persecuted – or fear that they will be persecuted – based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. If you are granted asylum, you may be permitted to remain in the United States and may be eligible to adjust your status to that of a lawful permanent resident. And so, having experience counsel on your side is essential.

Appeals

An immigrant who loses an immigration court hearing, or whose immigration application is denied, has the right to appeal the decision. Mirque Law handles appeals of all types of immigration matters — from deportation orders to denials of visas or requests for asylum. Removal (deportation) orders and other decisions by immigration judges are appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). Denials of visas and petitions made by USCIS officers are usually appealed to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). There are strict timelines associated with these appeals. Most immigration appeals must be filed within 30 days from the date of a decision. It is important to have an experienced attorney guide you through the appeals process.

An immigrant who loses an appeal may be able to appeal further to the federal courts. The federal courts have jurisdiction to review most decisions by the BIA as well as some matters involving USCIS actions. If you or a relative did not get the result they were hoping for in immigration court or with the USCIS, give Mirque Law a call to discuss your rights immediately. You cannot afford to wait and let a deadline go by.
