Immigration Law FAQs
How Long Does the Immigration Process Take?
Immigration processing times vary based on:
- The type of application
- Visa availability and federal quotas
- Government backlogs
- Whether the case is with USCIS or in Immigration Court (EOIR)
Some applications may be processed within months, while Immigration Court cases can take years.
While no attorney can control government timelines, thorough case preparation reduces delays caused by Requests for Evidence (RFEs), denials, or refilings. We prepare each case to be decision-ready upon submission.
How Should We Prepare for a Marriage-Based Green Card Interview?
A marriage-based Green Card interview is designed to determine whether the marriage is genuine and entered into in good faith. Preparation is essential.
We recommend:
- Reviewing all forms and prior filings for consistency
- Preparing detailed biographical information
- Assembling a comprehensive “relationship binder” containing:
- Joint financial records
- Lease or mortgage documents
- Insurance policies
- Travel records
- Photographs
- Other documentation showing shared life
Interviews are formal adjudications conducted under oath. Clear, consistent answers supported by documentation significantly improve the likelihood of approval.
Can a Criminal Record Affect My Immigration Status?
Yes. Criminal charges and convictions can have serious immigration consequences, including:
- Removal (Deportation)
- Inadmissibility
- Denial of lawful permanent residence
- Barriers to naturalization
- Mandatory detention in certain cases
Immigration law applies federal statutory definitions that do not always align with state criminal classifications. Even minor offenses at the state level may carry severe immigration consequences.
If you have prior convictions or pending criminal charges, early legal review is critical.
Do You Represent Clients Nationwide?
Yes.
Immigration law is federal. We represent individuals and families in Colorado and nationwide and internationally:
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Immigration Courts under EOIR
- The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
- U.S. Consulates abroad
Whether you are seeking a Green Card, defending against removal, applying for asylum, or pursuing citizenship, representation is not limited by geographic location.
