Helping You Avoid Removal 42A/42B, VAWA And More

If you are facing removal proceedings, our lawyers can help you petition for stays of removal. In many cases, we have been able to able to have removal proceedings dismissed entirely.

USCIS handles cancellation requests on a case-by-case basis. Typically, legal permanent residents (LPRs) must show that they have lived in the U.S. for at least seven years continuously, have held a green card for five years and have no felony convictions on their record. Nonpermanent residents, meanwhile, must have lived in the country for 10 years continuously, have no criminal convictions and demonstrate that they provide support for other family members in the U.S.

Depending on your status, we can help you file a form 42A (for LPRs) or 42B (for non-LPRs) to pursue a cancellation of removal. Alternatively, we can help certain individuals who have been victims of domestic abuse pursue cancellation orders under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We can also help you appeal to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to request prosecutorial discretion, through which ICE agents will intervene with an immigration judge and, in many cases, halt removal proceedings.

Individuals removed from the country may not re-enter the U.S. for 10 years. Those who opt for voluntary departure, however that is, individuals who choose to leave the country on their own, before a removal order takes effect are often permitted to return within three years. If you would like to learn more about voluntary departure, it is advisable to speak with an experienced attorney.



Challenging Immigration Court Decisions- Appeals And Complaints


Many individuals feel they are treated unfairly during immigration proceedings. Unfortunately,they are often uncertain how to go about asserting their rights.

Our lawyers are adept at filing complaints against immigration judges and challenging their decisions with the Board of Immigration Appeals. Unlike criminal appeals, petitioners can include new documentation and evidence during the immigration appeals process. Moreover, individuals are permitted to remain in the U.S. as their appeal is pending. However, as with all areas of immigration law, strict deadlines govern the process, and it is important to work with an attorney to ensure that you avoid making mistakes that can jeopardize your case.

Obtaining And Maintaining Legal Status To Stay In The U.S.

While U.S. immigration policy is stringent-it tends to emphasize exclusion rather than inclusion there are special exceptions for vulnerable populations and certain others. A Salmon Firm, LLC, is an assertive advocate for individuals seeking asylum, especially in cases when returning to one's home country would result in physical danger. We offer representation to both adults and special immigrant juveniles (SIJs) who would be imperiled by the U.S. government's attempts to send them home.



Immigration Bonds For ICE Detainees

With increasing frequency, ICE agents are detaining individuals for immigration-related reasons - if their status has expired, for example, or if they entered the country illegally. In most cases, individuals can be released on bond. While this will usually entail a considerable cost bonds usually range between $1,500 and $10,000 many find that it is the best means to ensure their rights remain protected throughout all immigration court procedures.



The lawyers at our firm can help safeguard the rights of ICE detainees, seeing to it that ICE or an immigration judge sets a bond in a timely manner and that any supervision following released is conducted in a lawful manner.
