How We’ve Helped People Just Like You
- Alvin P.

Cheryl and John took my wife’s case to process her first green card and was successful! They were very accurate and timely in filing paperwork and setting wait time expectations, which were pretty on point. My wife now has her green card thanks to Cheryl, John and the team at the law office!

- Richard

Cheryl quoted a reasonable fee for the planned work and went above and beyond in her efforts to resolve our mess. I know Lindsay put an extraordinary effort into preparing the motion to reopen my husband’s old asylum case, leaving no doubt in my mind that we would be successful. All phone calls were taken or returned, all emails were answered. I never felt out of the loop. Their efforts led to the end of my husband’s detention and the return to his family and work – much sooner than I expected. Green card next!

Family Immigration

There are six categories in which family members can be sponsored for lawful permanent residence. The process is document-heavy. If not done correctly, the process can be delayed, and more serious issues can arise. More importantly, not everyone is eligible to become a legal citizen through a family member. We can advise you as to whether you or your family member is eligible to legalize his or her status in the United States or will have to return to his or her home country to legalize.

Deportation and Removal Defense

Criminal arrests can be an especially serious problem for noncitizens. You not only need a sound defense on the criminal case, but you also need the advice of an experienced immigration lawyer to protect you from the separate risk of deportation.

To learn about the best ways to keep your criminal defense problem from interfering with your residence or immigration status, contact the Law Office of Cheryl R. David in New York City.

Temporary Visas

A visa is a conditional authorization given by a country’s authority for a person who is not a citizen of that country to enter and remain for a specified duration. Each country attaches conditions to visas regarding duration of stay, territory covered, validity dates, and number of visits. There are various types of temporary visas that can be obtained for purposes such as tourism or employment.

Whatever your current situation, we will answer any questions you may have and help you apply for a temporary visa. You will often need supporting documentation for your application, and we will guide you through the preparation process. Contact us to discuss your temporary visa with an experienced immigration lawyer today.

Naturalization

At the Law Office of Cheryl R. David, our New York City attorneys advise permanent residents interested in United States citizenship about the naturalization process and help applicants for citizenship overcome any obstacles that might come up along the way. Our services in any given situation might include:

  • Examining whether any criminal convictions will prevent you from citizenship or put you at risk of removal proceedings when applying for citizenship
  • Getting a waiver of the citizenship test or language requirements for people over 55 or who have lived in the U.S. for more than 20 years
  • Making sure that divorce or employment problems won’t threaten the interests of permanent residents whose original visas were based on marriage or work
  • Considering the effect of extended travel abroad during the U.S. residence period
  • Resolving tax problems prior to the application for citizenship
  • Identifying grounds for claiming derivative citizenship or acquired citizenship based on family circumstances

We review all citizenship applications carefully with our clients, and we sometimes discover that immigrants are already U.S. citizens. In most cases, however, our job is to make sure that we can document your eligibility for citizenship while addressing any problems that might interfere with the naturalization process.
