Frequently asked questions
Can a New Jersey immigration lawyer handle U.S. immigration applications?
Yes. Green card, work visa and naturalization applications are decided by federal agencies (USCIS, the State Department and the immigration courts), and New Jersey residents use the same federal law and forms. Start by gathering your passport, identity documents, any notices you have received and your next deadline.
Can a criminal record affect a green card or naturalization?
It can. Some criminal records affect admissibility, green card applications or the good moral character review for naturalization. Have a lawyer review the court papers and immigration documents together before you file.
