Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Since a criminal charge and issues can make you ineligible to reside in the country and put you into the deportation process, Azinge & Associates, P.C. Law Firm will work with a criminal lawyer when necessary on important matters that may influence your immigration status, such as sentencing guidelines. Our law firm routinely works with criminal defense attorneys nationwide, with the goal of attending to and resolving issues so they will not become a problem when you appear before an immigration judge at an immigration hearing.
• DUI/DWI
  Crimes range from misdemeanor DWI’s to major felonies. However, immigration court is much harsher on criminal aliens and treats misdemeanors as a criminal court would treat a felony. If you are convicted of a felony, you will lose eligibility for a green card and be put into removal proceedings.
• Misdemeanors
  If you have a criminal record that includes misdemeanors, your application could be denied. A misdemeanor in criminal court can be deemed a felony in immigration court. Criminal issues can make you ineligible and even place you in deportation if you are a green card holder. At our firm, immigration lawyer Patricia Azinge works with criminal attorneys to address the criminal issues so that when at all possible they won’t affect immigration status.

Immigration Law

• Citizenship and Naturalization
  At Azinge & Associates, P.C. Law Firm, we strive to help our clients overcome those obstacles and achieve their dream of citizenship. The benefits of citizenship and naturalization are numerous. You have the right to be an active member of American society with the right to vote, and are eligible for social services. In addition, you can become a green card sponsor for family members in other countries to reunite with you in the United States.
• Family Immigration
  Family-Based Immigration: Not all family relationships serve as a basis to apply for lawful permanent residence. Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, relatives in two main categories–immediate relatives and preference immigrants–are treated very differently.
• Employment Immigration
  Employment-Based Immigration: The process for obtaining permanent residency through a green card based on qualifying employment relationships or investments comprises three phases: the labor certification; the immigrant visa petition; and the application for permanent residence or an immigrant visa.
