Our Comprehensive Immigration Law Services
Our network of skilled immigration lawyers in Louisiana delivers a wide range of legal services specifically tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families across New Orleans, Metairie, Mandeville, and beyond.
We connect you with the expertise necessary to handle your immigration legal matters efficiently and effectively. Here is an overview of how we support our clients:
Green Card & Lawful Permanent Residency
Obtaining a Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card) is often the cornerstone of establishing a long-term future in the United States. It grants you the right to live and work permanently in the U.S. and is a vital step towards U.S. citizenship.
The process for securing lawful permanent residency can vary significantly based on your individual circumstances, requiring meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of USCIS regulations.
Our Green Card lawyers guide you through every step of the application process, ensuring all documentation is accurately prepared and submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We assist with:
- Family-Based Green Cards
- Employment-Based Green Cards
- Special Immigrant Visas for humanitarian cases.
- Conditional Permanent Residency issues and removal of conditions.
- Replacing lost or expired Green Cards.
We ensure your application is strong and compelling, addressing potential issues proactively to minimize delays and maximize your chances of approval for lawful permanent residency.
Asylum & Refugee Status
For individuals fleeing persecution and seeking safety in the United States, obtaining asylum or refugee status can be life-saving. We assist clients in meeting the strict legal criteria required to apply for asylum based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
At the same time, we recognize that immigration needs vary, and some clients require highly customized, discreet, and expedited legal solutions. As a professional boutique, we are uniquely positioned to serve business professionals, LGBTQ+ individuals, those entering marriage-based immigration processes, and other clients seeking high-touch, private, and preferred treatment. We offer high-level immigration services for individuals and families who value personal attention and efficiency.
Our asylum-related services include:

Deportation Defense & Removal Proceedings
Facing deportation or removal proceedings is an incredibly stressful and frightening experience, threatening to separate you from your family, community, and future in the U.S. Whether you are detained or facing proceedings while living freely, having an experienced deportation defense lawyer by your side is absolutely critical.

We provide aggressive representation focused on keeping you in the United States. Our deportation defense services include:
- Bond hearings to secure release from immigration detention centers (e.g., South Louisiana ICE Processing Center, LaSalle Detention Facility).

- Identifying and pursuing all available forms of relief from removal, such as:
- Cancellation of Removal for certain long-term residents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Law in New Orleans
A Green Card (Lawful Permanent Resident status) allows you to live and work permanently in the United States. You retain your original citizenship. U.S. Citizenship, typically obtained through naturalization, grants you all the rights and responsibilities of a U.S. citizen, including the right to vote, hold federal office, and travel with a U.S. passport. Citizenship also offers greater protection from deportation. While a Green Card is a significant step, it is not the same as citizenship.
The processing time for a Green Card varies significantly depending on the specific category (e.g., family-based, employment-based), your country of origin, and current USCIS processing backlogs. Some immediate relative Green Cards may be processed within months, while others in preference categories or with complex issues could take several years. Our immigration attorneys can provide a more accurate estimate based on your unique circumstances and help you monitor your application’s progress.
Yes, criminal convictions can have severe and lasting consequences on your immigration status, potentially leading to deportation or rendering you inadmissible to the U.S. The impact depends on the nature and severity of the crime, and whether it falls under categories like “crimes involving moral turpitude” or “aggravated felonies” as defined by U.S. immigration law. Even minor offenses can sometimes create significant problems. If you have any criminal history, it is vital to consult with an immigration lawyer who also understands criminal defense to assess the potential impact and explore any available waivers or relief.
If you receive a Notice to Appear (NTA), it means the government intends to begin deportation proceedings against you in immigration court. It is absolutely critical to seek immediate legal counsel from an experienced deportation defense attorney. Do not miss your scheduled court dates. An attorney can review the charges, identify potential defenses or forms of relief, and represent you throughout the entire removal process, working to protect your right to stay in the U.S.
