United States Citizenship and Immigration Legal Services

MC Law Group offers a comprehensive range of citizenship and immigration services designed to assist individuals and families in achieving their immigration goals. Our Philadelphia immigration lawyers are dedicated to providing personalized legal guidance and representation throughout the entire process, ensuring that your rights are protected and your application is handled efficiently.

Citizenship

Citizenship in the United States grants individuals a wide range of rights and privileges, including the right to vote, hold public office, and live and work freely within the country. There are several pathways to U.S. citizenship, including naturalization, citizenship through parents, and certain other eligibility criteria.

Naturalization Process

The naturalization process involves a series of steps, including:

  • Eligibility verification
  • Application submission
  • Background checks
  • Interviews
  • Citizenship test
  • Oath of allegiance

Dual Citizenship

Dual citizenship allows individuals to hold the citizenship of two or more countries simultaneously. The rules governing dual citizenship vary from country to country.

Citizenship through Parents

U.S. citizenship can be acquired through parents under certain circumstances, such as being born outside the United States to U.S. citizen parents or being born within the United States to at least one U.S. citizen parent.

Deportation Defense

If you are facing deportation proceedings, it is crucial to seek legal representation from an experienced immigration attorney. MC Law Group can help you defend against deportation by exploring all available immigration options, including appeals, waivers, and other legal remedies.

Removal Proceedings

Removal proceedings are legal proceedings initiated by the U.S. government to remove an individual from the country. These proceedings can be initiated for various reasons, including immigration violations, criminal convictions, or national security concerns.

Immigration Appeals and Waivers

If your immigration application is denied, you may have the option to appeal the decision or apply for a waiver. MC Law Group can help you navigate the appeals process and determine whether you are eligible for a waiver.

Refugee and Asylum Protections

Refugees and asylum seekers are individuals who have fled persecution or violence in their home countries and are seeking protection in the United States. MC Law Group can help you determine whether you are eligible for refugee or asylum status and guide you through the application process.

MC Law Group offers comprehensive asylum and refugee services, including:

  • Eligibility assessment
  • Application preparation
  • Representation in asylum interviews
  • Appeals and post-grant services

To be eligible for asylum or refugee status, individuals must demonstrate that they have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.

Application Process

The asylum and refugee application process involves several steps, including:

  • Initial interview
  • Biometric data collection
  • Asylum officer interview
  • Decision-making

Refugees and asylum seekers who are granted status in the United States are entitled to various rights and benefits, including the right to work, attend school, and receive certain government benefits.

Work-Based Visas

If you are seeking to immigrate to the United States for employment purposes, you may need to obtain a work-based visa. MC Law Group can help you determine the appropriate visa category for your situation and guide you through the application process.

Some of the most common types of work-based visas include:

  • H-1B visa (for workers in specialty occupations)
  • L-1 visa (for intracompany transferees)
  • H-2A visa (for temporary agricultural workers)
  • H-2B visa (for temporary non-agricultural workers)
  • TN visa (for professionals from Canada and Mexico)

The specific requirements for work-based visas vary depending on the visa category. However, most work-based visas require an employer sponsor and evidence of qualifications and job offer.

Employer Sponsorship

An employer must file a petition on your behalf to obtain a work-based visa. The employer must demonstrate that you are qualified for the position and that there are no suitable U.S. workers available.

Family-Based Visas

If you are seeking to immigrate to the United States based on your relationship with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible for a family-based visa. MC Law Group can help you determine the appropriate visa category for your situation and guide you through the application process.

  • Fiancé Visas: If you are engaged to a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible for a K-1 fiancé visa, which allows you to enter the United States to marry your fiancé.
  • Marriage-Based Visas: If you marry a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident while in the United States on a temporary visa, you may be eligible to adjust your status to lawful permanent resident (green card holder).
  • Green Cards: A green card, also known as a lawful permanent resident card, allows you to live and work in the United States indefinitely. You can obtain a green card through family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, or other eligible categories.

U-Visa Services

If you are a victim of a crime and have cooperated with law enforcement, you may be eligible for a U-visa, which provides a pathway to lawful permanent residency. MC Law Group can help you determine whether you are eligible for a U-visa and guide you through the application process.

To be eligible for a U-visa, you must:

  • Be the victim of a qualifying crime
  • Have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse
  • Have cooperated with law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime

The benefits of a U-visa include:

  • Temporary lawful status in the United States
  • Potential pathway to lawful permanent residency
  • Employment authorization
  • Protection from deportation

"Definitivamente recomiendo el firm, tengo sobre 4 años con ellos y debo decir que el camino a mi naturalizacion en este pais a sido un proceso lento pero seguro. La licenciada Wanda Alvelo quien es mi representante legal es muy profesional en lo que hace y sabe maniobrar durante el proceso basado en su experiencia para que todo vaya en la dirección correcta. No tengo ninguna queja hasta el momento pero si recomiendo paciencia ya que cada caso o proceso es distinto y pues las cosas no se dan de la noche a la mañana."

Kevin M.

"Me siento muy agradecida con el equipo y sobre todo con Tahir que él fue el único abogado que agarró mi caso, después de que otros abogados me dijeron que no. Desde un principio él me explicó las cosas cómo iban a suceder y así fue todo yo pagué lo que desde un principio acordamos y ellos nunca mi cobraron más $ hasta que Gracias a Dios mi caso terminó y GANAMOS me aprobaron mi Green Card por Cancelation of Removal. Éste tipo de casos sólo se ganan el 3% 🙏🏽🥹😄😁 Ahora sólo estoy esperando para hacerme Ciudadana 🇺🇸 🫡. Gracias MC Law Group."
