Despite all of the problems you hear about in the news, it must be said that the United States of America still remains a beautiful country. For decades, centuries even, the US has served as a home for people from all over the world. It is the diversity of our country that has allowed us to continue to grow and develop, tackle modern issues, advance the arts and sciences, and generally just make our country a much nicer place to live. Unfortunately, this is slightly offset by just how difficult and complicated United States immigration law is. If you are looking to navigate the waters of US immigration law then The Law Office of Nita Kundanmal, P.C. is excited to help. Handling all aspects of immigration law in New Jersey, New York, and throughout the United States, The Law Office of Nita Kundanmal, P.C, is equipped with the knowledge and experience necessary to assist you on this wonderful journey you are undertaking.
If you are a direct family member of a U.S citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident then you could petition for immigration to the United States through a family-based visa. As the name implies, this type of visa is meant to help U.S citizens and their families to stay together. Immediate Relative Immigrant Visas offer relative peace of mind compared to other visas because they are not subject to yearly limits. Immediate Relative Visas come in five types, each of which is selected depending on the relationship between the U.S citizen and the immigrant in question. Spouses, unmarried children, orphans adopted abroad, orphans to be adopted in the U.S, and parents of a U.S citizen can apply for one of these visas. If your family members are related in a different manner, such as brothers or sisters, then a Family Preference Immigrant Visa may be the best option. For help in determining the best option to bring your family over, reach out to the Law Office of Nita Kundanmal, P.C.
For many people, immigration to America is a hard choice to make because they don’t know many people here or have family here that can help them to come over. For many, they will have to rely on consular processing. This is the process through which you would apply for Lawful Permanent Resident status, or what you may have heard referred to as a green card. Unfortunately, green cards are just handed out to everybody that wants to immigrate. You need to prove to the government that there is a good reason for you to immigrate to the United States. This is most often achieved by having somebody sponsor the immigration through a petition; family members and employers are the most frequently accepted. There are ways that an individual could essentially sponsor themself, such as when they are an entrepreneur or when there is a humanitarian reason behind the immigration. For help filing for immigration, or if you just have questions about the process, contact the Law Office of Nita Kundanmal, P.C, and we’ll be more than happy to help.
An I-9 form is a type of document that employers are required to ensure their employees have completed, regardless of whether or not they are citizens or noncitizens. This form is used to verify the identity of the individual in question, as well as whether or not they are eligible for employment. Employers are required to examine the documents submitted and to determine for themselves if they appear to be genuine. Documents used for establishing identity include a US driver’s license, school ID with photo, US military card, or voter’s registration card. Documents that establish employment authorization include social security number cards and US birth certificates. Some may be used to establish both such as a US passport or a permanent resident card. Our attorneys can help you with all aspects of I-9 compliance and audit readiness in New Jersey, New York, and throughout the United States.
Another vital practice area that the Law Office of Nita Kundanmal, P.C, can help you with is DACA. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is an immigration policy that allows certain undocumented individuals that came to the United States as minors to avoid deportation. After all, these children often have never known another country besides the United States and so they are more American than anything else. However, DACA has been under attack in recent years and the future of DACA and what it means for those protected by it is up in the air. For any questions about DACA and what the changes mean for you, reach out to the Law Office of Nita Kundanmal, P.C. We’ll keep you updated with the information you need to know and look for potential solutions to any problems that crop up.
