The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ("DACA") program is designed to help young immigrants who came to the United States as children and made their education a priority.

Current DACA holders are able to retain their work authorization cards and status until the expirations of those cards.
The Special Immigrant Juvenile Status ("SIJS") program was created to protect children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned by one or both parents.

Lawful permanent residency (commonly known as "green cards") can be granted in a variety of circumstances - through family, a job offer or employment, refugee or asylum status, or a number of other special provisions.
Family members of U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents may be eligible for permanent residency based on their relationship to a family member with legal status.
Family members who qualify for their green card will either be immediately eligible for a green card or placed on a waiting list to receive one when it becomes available.

There are a variety of reasons why a person is served with a Notice to Appear and placed in deportation proceedings (formally known as removal proceedings).
They may have been charged with a crime in the United States or overstayed their visa permission or have been deported previously, to name a few possibilities.
For those who find themselves with a notice to appear before an immigration court or detained at an immigration detention center, there may be a way we can help.
There are different ways to defend against deportation but whether any of them can provide relief in a case depend on a person's unique circumstances and immigration history.

What may seem like a favorable outcome for a criminal charge in state court may have an immediate negative effect if that person is then placed in removal proceedings or, years later, find that he does not qualify for an immigration benefit or relief because of prior criminal history.
The negative consequences can be immediate if a criminal conviction is serious enough to warrant the attention of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE").
