Immigration Bail

Have you or a family member been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)? If so, you should speak to an immigration lawyer as soon as possible. If you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or detained for an immigration violation, you may be facing deportation. While the U.S. government determines whether you should be deported to your home country, you may be held in detention. Individuals who have been arrested or detained may be able to get released on an immigration bond.

When is an immigration bond available? An immigration bond is only available in certain circumstances. For example, you may be eligible for a bond if you are apprehended for overstaying a visa or have been apprehended for otherwise having an inadmissible status. You may also be eligible for a bond if you were apprehended following a minor arrest such as for a traffic stop or a DUI. Bond relief is not available if you have been convicted of an aggravated felony or terrorism charges and in other cases where federal law requires mandatory detention.

What is the process of getting an immigration bond? The process generally begins after the disposition of your case in state or federal court, when you are placed in ICE detention. You will be issued a notice to appear (NTA) within 48 hours of being placed in ICE custody. The NTA identifies the grounds for which ICE is seeking to remove you from the United States. Prior to the issuance of the NTA, ICE can negotiate a bond if it is available. Once this 48-hour window has passed, ICE can no longer negotiate a bond. That is why quick action is essential.

Attorney Lawrence M. Kasen has more than 30 years of legal experience and can guide you through the bond hearing process. He and his associates can assist you in establishing the requisite family and community ties to establish that you are not a risk or danger to society. The amount of bond may range from nothing, as in cases of personal recognizance, to up to $15,000. We will thoroughly review the facts of your case to guide you through the legal process. If you or a loved one has been detained by ICE, relief may still be available. Please contact us @ 718 337 8012.

Personal Injury

(Quoted from American Bar Association) Personal injury law, also known as tort law, is designed to protect you if you or your property is injured or harmed because of someone else’s act or failure to act. In a successful tort action, the one who caused the injury or harm compensates the one who suffered the losses.

What is a typical personal injury case?

Automobile accidents, the area in which most personal injury actions arise, provide a good example of how the tort system works. You have a negligence claim in a “fault” state if you are injured by a driver who failed to exercise reasonable care, because drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care anytime they are on the road. When they breach that duty and your injury results, personal injury law says you can recoup your losses. (Note, though, that the system may be very different in states that have passed no-fault laws.)

Negligence reaches far beyond claims stemming from car accidents. It is the basis for liability in most personal injury lawsuits, including medical malpractice.

We know it caused immeasurably impact on ones’ life if serious accident happened, we can help to guide you through the process to file personal injury claims. Contact us @ 718 337 8012 for free consultation or in-person appointment.

Civil Forfeiture

(Quoted from Wikipedia) Civil forfeiture in the United States, also called civil asset forfeiture or civil judicial forfeiture, is a process in which law enforcement officers take assets from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing. While civil procedure, as opposed to criminal procedure, generally involves a dispute between two private citizens, civil forfeiture involves a dispute between law enforcement and property such as a pile of cash or a house or a boat, such that the thing is suspected of being involved in a crime. To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity. Sometimes it can mean a threat to seize property as well as the act of seizure itself. Civil forfeiture is not considered to be an example of a criminal justice financial obligation.

Cancellation of Removal

Facing deportation or removal proceedings in Immigration Court can be a very daunting and fearful process. if you find yourself in removal proceedings as a result of entering the U.S. without being inspected, admitted or paroled by U.S. customs officials or you have stayed in the U.S. beyond the expiration date in your visa or you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR or green card holder) who has been convicted of a deportable crime(s), there may be relief available to you in the form of cancellation of removal.

Accordingly, you should not seek to avail yourself of this relief without the able assistance of an experienced cancellation of removal attorney.

I-601A Waiver

In the past, undocumented foreign nationals who were family members of U.S. citizens faced significant hurdles when attempting to obtain legal status. In some cases, undocumented aliens who departed the U.S. were denied reentry for up to 10 years. Recent changes to U.S. immigration policy will now give spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizens (otherwise known as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens) the opportunity to apply for a provisional waiver that allows them to stay in the U.S. while their waiver application is pending. The I-601A waiver – provisional unlawful presence waiver , may allow you to reduce the time your family is apart. At The Kasen Law Firm, LLC, we help families stay together while their visa applications are processed. For a free initial telephone consultation with an I-601A waiver lawyer, please call 718-337-8012.

Federal Appeal

Federal Immigration Appeals
If an Immigration Judge has issued an order of removal against you and your administrative appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) has been denied, you have the right to file a Petit ion for review before a federal appellate court having jurisdiction over the case.

U.S. District Court Litigation
• Habeas Corpus Petitions – Individuals seeking relief from removal orders, bond denials, unlawful detention and other adverse federal agency immigration decisions may file petitions for writs of habeas corpus in the appropriate federal district court.
• Mandamus Petitions – If your application for a visa, permanent residency, asylum or any other immigration benefit has been delayed by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS), you have the right to compel these federal immigration agencies to make a timely ruling in your case by filing petitions for mandamus in the federal district court with jurisdiction over the case.
• Denaturalization Proceedings – If you are a U.S. naturalized citizen and subsequently commit a crime in the U.S., you may be subject to a federal court denaturalization proceeding in which your citizenship and right to remain in the U.S. may be in jeopardy.

We also help clients present successful defenses in federal court Removal and Deportation actions (where your freedom and ability to remain in the U.S. are in jeopardy) and in strategizing and advancing petitions for Asylum and Withholding of Removal under both the Immigration and Nationality Act and the U.N. Convention Against Torture (where you are given the chance to justify your right to stay in the U.S. because of a legitimate fear of being persecuted or tortured if you were to be returned to your homeland or last foreign residence). We have the experience, determination and fortitude to represent you in these and other federal court immigration litigation cases.

Board of Immigration Appeal(BIA)

(Quoted from Department of Justice)

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest administrative body for interpreting and applying immigration laws. It is authorized 23 Appellate Immigration Judges, including a Chief Appellate Immigration Judge and one or two Deputy Chief Appellate Immigration Judges. The BIA is located at EOIR headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia. Generally, the BIA does not conduct courtroom proceedings – it decides appeals by conducting a “paper review” of cases. On rare occasions, however, the BIA hears oral arguments of appealed cases, predominately at headquarters.

The BIA has been given nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals from certain decisions rendered by immigration judges and by district directors of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a wide variety of proceedings in which the Government of the United States is one party and the other party is an alien, a citizen, or a business firm.

BIA decisions are binding on all DHS officers and immigration judges unless modified or overruled by the Attorney General or a federal court. Most BIA decisions are subject to judicial review in the federal courts. The majority of appeals reaching the BIA involve orders of removal and applications for relief from removal. Other cases before the BIA include the exclusion of aliens applying for admission to the United States, petitions to classify the status of alien relatives for the issuance of preference immigrant visas, fines imposed upon carriers for the violation of immigration laws, and motions for reopening and reconsideration of decisions previously rendered.

The BIA is directed to exercise its independent judgment in hearing appeals for the Attorney General. BIA decisions designated for publication are printed in bound volumes entitled Administrative Decisions Under Immigration and Nationality Laws of the United States.

If you want to consult about BIA, please call us @ 718 337 8012.

Asylum

Every year many foreign nationals migrate to the United States to escape persecution by their government or by a quasi-political, religious or ethnic group in their home country. Under U.S. immigration law, any person with refugee status may seek admission into the U.S., whether here legally, illegally or on an expired visa, as an asylum or withholding of removal applicant. The rules governing asylum and withholding of removal, however, are very complex. Hiring an experienced lawyer can make the difference in whether your claim is approved and you are permitted to remain in the U.S.

Asylum in the United States
Individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. must demonstrate that there is a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion if returned to their country of origin. To be considered for asylum relief, the applicant should generally file his/her asylum application with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within one year of entering the U.S.

Kasen , has more than 30 years of legal experience and is available to assist you in presenting the strongest asylum or withholding of removal claim possible to ensure a positive outcome for you and your family.
