determines whether a person is an alien, the duties, rights, and obligations
involved with being an alien in the US, and how aliens gain residence
or citizenship within the country. It also provides the means by which

US Citizenship:
Being a US citizen is necessary for enjoying the many privileges offered
by the government. As a citizen you can get a job, take part in the
Medicaid and Medicare government programs, and receive retirement benefits
from Social Security. While citizenship is automatic for people born
in the country, or whose parents are citizens, it is possible for a
foreign-born person to become a citizen. The US immigration naturalization
process is key to making citizenship a reality. This reality, however,
is complicated and requires a wealth of legal knowledge. That is why
consulting an immigration attorney is crucial to a full understanding
of the citizenship process. There are common reasons for the denial
of citizenship that must be recognized.
Applicants for citizenship are required
to understand, speak, and write in the English language. However, the
applicant may apply for a Waiver if he or she is unable to learn English
due to a medical condition. The Law Office of James Bechler helps clients
find solutions to overcome these problems.
Deportation Defense:
One of the most stressful and frightening experiences a non-citizen
and his or her family may face is the prospect of forced deportation
from the United States. Defending deportation requires experience in
providing a proper and aggressive defense. If you are facing deportation
because of a criminal conviction, our office can help you. We have experience
and expertise in criminal cases representing non-citizens facing deportation
if convicted. For noncitizens even minor traffic charges causes the
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to be notified and
an immigration hold may be included on the case. In these dire circumstances,
it is important to have a lawyer who understands the complexities of
both immigration issues and the criminal justice system. We provide
solutions to these problems that will help keep you and your family
in tact and minimize damage.
Green Cards:
The Law Office of James Bechler has helped many immigrants get their
green card or visa without problems from the USCIS. If you need to apply
for a green card or are facing a hearing in immigration court after
a rejected green card application, do not despair. We handle these legal
issues with the care and quickness you need.
