Immigration
USCIS loses files. Agencies sit on petitions for years. Benefits get denied for reasons that don’t hold up to legal scrutiny. The system moves slowly, and when it makes mistakes, it rarely corrects itself. That is what federal court is for.
The Administrative Procedure Act gives applicants the right to sue the federal government when an agency fails to act or acts unlawfully. We file those suits. We push cases into United States District Court and compel agencies to do what the law requires.
We handle federal litigation involving:
- USCIS petitions and applications delayed without justification
- Department of State applications with no resolution in sight
- Unlawful denials of immigration benefits
- Rejected U.S. passport applications
- Visa denials and consular processing delays
Removal Proceedings
When the government moves to deport someone, the stakes could not be higher. If the Immigration Court or the Board of Immigration Appeals gets it wrong, federal court is the next line of defense. We petition the United States Court of Appeals and, where necessary, seek emergency stays of removal to stop deportations while the case is reviewed.
We handle federal litigation involving:
- Petitions for review of Board of Immigration Appeals decisions
- Emergency motions to stay removal
- Habeas corpus petitions for unlawfully detained individuals
- Due process violations in removal proceedings
- Wrongful deportation of lawful permanent residents
The government does not back down easily. Neither do we. Our attorneys bring over 30 years of experience in criminal and immigration law to every federal case we take on.
