Immigration

Alert: Notice: USCIS has recently announced plans to raise its filing fees, effective July 30, 2007.  The fee increase, which will affect all applications for citizenship, green cards, and temporary visas, is the largest in the agency's history, with some fees more than doubling.     There is still time to beat the fee increase.  Call the Bailey & Galyen Immigration Department today at (817)359-7000, and get your papers filed as soon as possible.

 In a striking reach across party lines, the White House and key lawmakers agreed Thursday on a sweeping immigration plan to grant legal status to millions of people in the country unlawfully.The proposal constitutes a far-reaching change in the immigration system that would admit future arrivals seeking to put down roots in the U.S. based on their skills, education levels and job experience, limiting the importance of family ties. A new class of guest workers would be allowed in temporarily, but only after the new security measures were in place — expected to take 18 months.     The proposed agreement would allow illegal immigrants to come forward and obtain a "Z visa" and — after paying fees and a $5,000 fine — ultimately get on track for permanent residency, which could take between eight and 13 years. Heads of households would have to return to their home countries first.    They could come forward right away to claim a probationary card that would let them live and work legally in the U.S., but could not begin the path to permanent residency or citizenship until border security improvements and the high-tech worker identification program were completed.    Family connections alone would no longer be enough to qualify for a green card — except for spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens. Strict new limits would apply to U.S. citizens seeking to bring foreign-born parents into the country.

Deportation or Removal

If you face deportation or removal, contact us immediately. The sooner an attorney is involved in the process, the greater the chances of halting the deportation.

Any misdemeanor convictions can lead to removal proceedings as well. Fortunately, Bailey & Galyen is a full-service law firm. As such, we have criminal law attorneys, as well as immigration attorneys, available to assist you.
