So, how can we help you?

I Need to Apply for or Extend a Visa

Federal immigration laws require non-citizens to obtain visas to reside in the United States. There are several different types of visas, and non-citizens must ensure that they apply for the correct type of visa based on why they are seeking to enter the country. We assist with:

I Need to Apply for an Adjustment of Status

Foreign citizens who are currently living in the United States can obtain permanent residency (a “green card”) without having to travel abroad and be readmitted by applying for an adjustment of status. Individuals who are seeking an adjustment of status must meet several requirements, and they must carefully complete Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. If you are interested in applying for an adjustment of status, a Trenton immigration lawyer at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A. can confirm your eligibility and guide you through the application process.

I Need to Apply for an Inadmissibility Waiver

“Inadmissibility” refers to being prohibited from entering the United States under federal immigration laws. Various issues can trigger a determination of inadmissibility, from health issues to allegations of criminal or terrorist activity. If you have been deemed inadmissible, you may be eligible to obtain an inadmissibility waiver, but you will need to work with an experienced Trenton immigration lawyer who can effectively represent you before USCIS.

I Need to Apply for Asylum

The U.S. provides asylum to foreign nationals who are afraid of facing persecution in their native countries. This includes persecution based on race, religion, politics, nationality, or membership in a social group. If you are in New Jersey and you need to seek asylum for yourself, your spouse, or your children, we encourage you to contact us promptly. Once we help you obtain asylum, we can also assist you with applying for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), if necessary.

I Am Ready to Apply for a Green Card

Applying for a green card allows living in the United States as a lawful permanent resident, and it is a key step on the road to naturalization for those seeking U.S. citizenship. Visa holders, relatives of U.S. citizens, refugees, asylum seekers, and others can all apply for green cards provided that they meet the required qualifications. If you have questions about your eligibility or are ready to apply for a green card, we encourage you to speak with a Trenton immigration lawyer at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A. about your next steps.

I Am Ready to Apply for Citizenship

The process of becoming a U.S. citizen is known as naturalization. There are several steps in the naturalization process, all of which require you to make informed decisions based on a clear understanding of the United States citizenship laws. Whether you are ready to apply for citizenship or you have run into issues during the naturalization process, we can help you move forward.

I Need Help Fighting to Avoid Deportation

If you are a foreign citizen and you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or accused of entering (or remaining in) the United States illegally, you may be at risk of deportation (also known as removal). While there are several grounds for deportation from the U.S., there are several grounds to fight deportation as well. Our immigration lawyers can help you understand your situation, identify your best defense, and fight to help you stay in the United States. We assist with securing removal waivers and cancellations, negotiating voluntary departures, and resolving immigration-related issues through other means as well.
