Federal Immigration Law and Relief Options
Immigration matters are not handled by state courts but by federal agencies and courts. The primary law is the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified in Title 8 of the U.S. Code. This body of law governs all aspects of admission, status adjustment, and removal from the United States. Relief from removal or pathways to lawful status are strictly defined by federal statute and agency regulations.

Manassas Park Immigration FAQs
How much does a green card cost?
Government fees are approximately $2,200 before attorney fees. This includes I-485 adjustment ($1,440), I-130 family petition ($675), and biometrics ($85). Fee waivers (Form I-912) are available for income-eligible applicants. Processing is at the USCIS Washington District Office in Fairfax.
How long does it take to get a green card?
It depends on the category. Immediate relative cases take 8-14 months. Family preference categories vary, with some backlogs exceeding 5-20 years. Employment-based cases can take 12-36+ months. Applications are processed at the USCIS Washington District Office in Fairfax.
What happens if I get a deportation notice?
Removal proceedings for Manassas Park residents are heard at the Arlington Immigration Court. You have the right to an attorney. Potential options include cancellation of removal, asylum, voluntary departure, or appeal. An immigration consultation with an attorney is critical at this stage.
Do I need a lawyer for a family-based visa petition?
Yes. While you can file Form I-130 yourself, an immigration attorney can ensure proper documentation, address complex issues like prior immigration violations, and prepare for potential requests for evidence, greatly improving the chance of approval.
Can a criminal conviction affect my immigration case?
Yes, significantly. Convictions for aggravated felonies or crimes involving moral turpitude can trigger mandatory deportation and make you ineligible for most forms of relief. It is essential to consult with a visa lawyer before resolving any criminal charge if you are not a U.S. citizen.
