Immigration Court Hearings (Master Calendar & Individual Hearings)

Expert Advocacy Before an Immigration Judge.

The immigration court process is complex and adversarial. A Master Calendar Hearing is a preliminary proceeding to address procedural issues, while an Individual Hearing is the full trial where evidence is presented and a final decision is made. Having an experienced attorney by your side is critical to protect your rights, present your case effectively, and navigate the legal nuances of the courtroom.

We provide full representation before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). We prepare you thoroughly, present evidence, cross-examine government witnesses, and make persuasive legal arguments on your behalf.

BIA Appeals & Motions to Reopen

Challenging an Incorrect Decision.

A denial from an Immigration Judge or USCIS can feel final, but it often is not. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body for interpreting immigration laws. We can file an Appeal to the BIA to argue that the Judge made a legal or factual error. Alternatively, a Motion to Reopen asks the court to reconsider its decision based on new facts or evidence.

Our team specializes in this complex appellate work. We conduct a deep legal analysis, draft persuasive briefs, and fight to have an unjust decision reversed.

VAWA-Based Adjustment of Status in Immigration Court

Securing Your Safety and Permanent Status After Abuse.

If you are a survivor of abuse and are facing deportation proceedings, you have a powerful path to both stop your removal and obtain lawful permanent residence: Adjustment of Status through VAWA. This process allows you to present your VAWA-based green card application directly to an Immigration Judge as a defense against deportation, providing a critical lifeline to safety and stability in the United States.

The VAWA law allows certain abused spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to self-petition for immigration relief without the abuser's knowledge. When combined with an adjustment of status application in immigration court, it becomes a robust legal strategy to secure your future.

Our firm provides compassionate and highly strategic representation for VAWA AOS in immigration court, focusing on:

• Eligibility & Strategy Assessment: We conduct a confidential analysis to confirm you qualify for VAWA and are eligible to adjust status, even while in removal proceedings.

• Simultaneous Case Building: We seamlessly integrate two complex processes: preparing a compelling VAWA self-petition (Form I-360) and your application for permanent residence (Form I-485) to present a unified case to the court.

• Confidential & Sensitive Handling: We understand the deeply personal nature of these cases. Your privacy and safety are our top priorities throughout the entire legal process.

• Persuasive Courtroom Advocacy: We advocate vigorously before the Immigration Judge, presenting evidence of the abuse and your good moral character to secure approval of both your VAWA petition and your green card application.
