Immigration Attorney Indianapolis

When a need to hire an immigration lawyer arises, most people don’t know where to start looking for a good one, so the default becomes the internet. Here, you can search through and find dozens, if not hundreds, of lawyers in your area, and that leaves you in no better a position than when you started looking. However, there are steps to finding a good immigration lawyer in Indianapolis. 

At Villarrubia & Rosenberger, we are experienced immigration attorneys in Indianapolis who can handle your immigration matter to your satisfaction, so there is no need to look any further.

We handle a variety of immigration matters, including family-based immigration, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), deportation, and removal.

Family Based Immigration

U.S. citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) are allowed under U.S. immigration law to petition for their relatives to be given green cards based on the family relationship. However, not all relatives are eligible to obtain a green card based on their relationship to a U.S. citizen or green card holder. Rather, the relatives who qualify are those in close family relationships, such as spouses, children, siblings, and parents of U.S. citizens and spouses and children of permanent residents. 

Even among these relatives, how long it takes for them to get a green card depends on what subcategory they fall under. For example, spouses and children who are under the age of 21 of U.S. citizens get their green cards processed and approved much faster than spouses and children of green card holders. 

Although processing times are determined by what category and subcategory one files under to obtain a green card, filing an incomplete petition or application or one with errors will create even longer and unnecessary delays in processing the petition or application. Therefore, it is imperative that you have an experienced immigration lawyer help you with the filing and guide you through navigating the complex immigration system to obtain a green card.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

DACA is a policy that was put in place by President Barack Obama to protect about 800,000 young people — known as “DREAMers.” These are noncitizens who were brought into the United States unlawfully as children. Although DACA does not grant these individuals official legal status, the program does allow qualified individuals to apply for certain benefits such as a social security number, a driver’s license, and a work permit. More importantly, the individuals who qualify cannot be deported while under the program.

A lot has been going on with DACA, as many of those who dislike the program are filing court cases to end the program. If you believe you or a loved one qualifies for DACA or if you have questions about the program, we can help or provide answers at Villarrubia & Rosenberger.

Deportation and Removal

Sometimes you may find yourself or a loved one in deportation or removal proceedings where the government is trying to have you or the loved one deported. It is no place anyone would want to be, and at Villarrubia & Rosenberger, we know what an anxious and even downright traumatic experience this can be. We can certainly help you in fending off the deportation.
