Maintaining a lawful presence in the United States is extremely beneficial for immigrants, their families, and their employers. Whether you are here for work, family, or another important reason, having the right visa for your purpose establishes your rights and protections as a legal alien. As the premier immigration firm in the Upper Cumberland area, our Manchester immigration lawyer plays a valuable role in helping people with all aspects of their legal status proceedings.
What Does an Immigration Lawyer Do?
Our Manchester immigration attorneys at Youngblood & Associates represent individuals seeking to attain or maintain their legal status in Tennessee and the greater United States. Our services range from helping clients apply for the right visa to fit their needs to providing a rigorous defense in removal proceedings. We also help individuals looking to become U.S. Citizens through the naturalization application process. Our firm strongly believes in the power of taking our clients’ stories and finding a way to present them in a way that benefits their legal status case.
Business Immigration Services
Foreign labor forces play a vital role in the Upper Cumberland economy. We help employers ensure their workers have the proper credentials to work in the United States under the terms of their visas. The type of visa needed for a foreign individual to work in the United States legally can depend on the employer’s industry and the skillset or occupation of the employee. Our immigration lawyers and staff can manage the many different work visa applications that may be necessary for an employer, including the following:
- H-2A visas for agricultural labor
- H-2B visas for temporary, non-agricultural labor
- TN visas for eligible degree holding professionals in Canada or Mexico with prearranged employment in a NAFTA trade
Our firm has extensive experience in the visa application process for several major industries within the Manchester area, including:
- Landscape services
- Construction
- Nurseries
- Hospitality
- Production
- Other seasonal and temporary work
In addition to obtaining a visa for a foreign worker, our attorneys can also support businesses in other immigration-related areas, such as Form I-9 assistance and Department of Labor audit support.
Family Immigration Services
Being close to family is often a key reason for traveling or moving to the United States. Several different visas and legal status processes exist for people hoping to legally enter the country for family reasons. For example, our team can assist with the application process for:
- Alien Relative Petition I-130
- Fiancé/e Visa K-1
- a Dependent Visa H-4
- an Adjustment of Status I-485
Our dedicated immigration lawyers in Manchester can also assist eligible clients who unlawfully entered the United States to seek legal status by filing for a necessary waiver of their unlawful presence. Clients who want lawful presence as permanent residents can do so through consular processing to obtain a Green Card, another immigration process our team handles.
Individual Immigration Services
Outside of business and family, you may have other legal needs regarding your immigration status; our Manchester attorneys provide immigration support on an individual basis. For example, we can help qualifying immigrants who are victims of domestic violence seek independent visa status through the Violence Against Women Act. We also support clients with their DACA Renewals if they were previously granted one at any time after the program’s inception in 2012.
