Renewing DACA: Safeguarding Your Chance and Importantly Your Peace of Mind
Thousands of young immigrants have benefited from the opportunity to live legally in the U.S. through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), but renewing DACA is not always clear-cut. Requirements and eligibility seem to change constantly, with strict deadlines making matters even more confusing. Smith Dominguez, PLLC helps you navigate the renewal process by:
- Determining whether you are eligible to renew and assembling supporting documents and evidence
- Completing and filing Form I-821D, Form I-765, and supporting evidence on your behalf
- Providing the most up-to-date information on DACA policies and any potential legal changes
- Providing assistance with applications for advance parole if you wish to travel for humanitarian, educational, or employment purposes
Our attorneys stay abreast of all changes to DACA law and work hard to fight for your rights and best interests. We will handle all of the paperwork, filing, and deadlines so you can prepare for your future.
Fiancé or K-1 Visas: Uniting You and Your Loved One
A fiancé visa (K-1) for U.S. citizens enables you to bring your fiancé(e) to the United States to establish a new life together. Smith Dominguez, PLLC believes family unity is very important, and we want to see your family together without delay. Our services include:
- Evaluating eligibility requirements for the K-1 or any of the other options
- Preparing and filing Form I-129F and supporting documentary evidence so you can prove the bona fides of your relationship
- Counseling you on timeframes, interviews, and what’s next after approval of the visa
- Counseling on adjustment of status after marriage so your loved one can become a lawful permanent resident
We know that there is urgency and emotion in getting your fiancé joined with you here in the U.S. We are committed to keeping delays at bay and maximizing your chances for approval.
