Hope is Revived for Immigration Reform!

Top officials are discussing common sense resolutions to today's immigration issues and how to deal with the millions of undocumented people that live among us making an honest living.  Although policy changes from the executive branch may not be a permanent fix, it could pave the road for true immigration reform in Congress.  Similar to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which was a policy set by then secretary Napolitano, benefiting young adults, a new policy benefiting the general populace might be in the works.  There is also mention of forgiving prior deportations for those folks with no serious criminal convictions.  My advice to you...seek counsel at The Vargas Law Office.

Supreme Court Just Sold Our Country to the Wealthy

The Supreme Court ruled that individuals can contribute as much money as they want to candidates, or political committees.  The Wealthy will now be able to buy their candidate of choice by funding their campaigns. They have in essence offered the United States to the Wealthy should they so choose to purchase it piecemeal, one election at a time.

What is Legal Permanent Residency?

In Immigration Law it means that you have been admitted into the United States permanently, but subject to conditions.  You are sort of on probation until you become a citizen.  All too many people reach this status only to see it stripped away and deported all because they got too comfortable with the privilege.  The most common reason is being convicted of drug offenses.  Don't let this happen to you or your loved one... Call us now to see if you are eligible to Naturalize (become a citizen).
