Individuals and families can face many problems as a result of their immigration status. Being undocumented or falling out of status on a visa may curtail your opportunities for education and employment, active participation in society, and ability to travel. These barriers to your livelihood are detrimental not only to you as an individual but to our community and country as whole.
There may be steps you can take now to legally call the U.S. home for you and your family members. Even if there is no legal path for you to stay in the U.S., there are actions you can take to provide for your family in instances of detention or deportation. If you don't know what to do or are unsure of your legal options, contact the Law Office of Mary K. Neal for a free consultation.
