Immigration law 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 certain aliens can become legally naturalized with full rights of citizenship. The law office of James Bechler will review your immigration goals, and analyze your eligibility for various programs.

We can help you with:

• US citizenship
• Deportation Defense
• Family and business petitions for green cards
• Immigrant criminal conviction defense
• Asylum

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.
