Gouverneur, NY Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

We'll need more information to determine whether you will be able to self-petition. After we interview you, we'll have better ideas of whether this is possible.

I recommend that you have your parents contact an immigration attorney to consult on what you should and should not do as an illegal immigrant but someone who may qualify under the Dream Act, if and when it passes, opening door to become a legal resident. One petty theft is generally excused but more than one could prevent/deny legal status. Please note that if you are arrested or taken into custody after sentencing then ICE is likely to be notified and you could be placed in removal proceedings; however, if not arrested then it should be ok.

*Petition to Remove the Conditional Residency* While the Green Card has already been received, it is necessary to file what is known as the Petition to Remove the Conditional Residency. If this is not properly filed within 90 days before the expiration of the Conditional Green Card, the status will be automatically terminated. My office can file everything necessary to show that the marriage was bona-fide and that the USCIS should remove the condition in order to issue the permanent lawful permanent residency card. Please note that in some cases, even though the spouse does not want to help file the petition to remove the conditional residency, or there has been a divorce, it is still possible to get the Petition to Remove the Conditional Residency filed.
