Understanding Immigration Court Proceedings in Cecil County
Immigration matters for Cecil County residents are federal cases governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.) and related regulations. While affirmative applications like green cards and naturalization are filed with the USCIS Baltimore Field Office, removal (deportation) defense cases are heard before an immigration judge at the Baltimore Immigration Court. These proceedings determine if an individual can remain in the United States.
The firm was founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, whose background in accounting and information systems provides a unique advantage in complex cases involving financial evidence.
