TPS Renewal: How We Can Keep You Safe From Unsafe Conditions

Are you looking to renew your TPS? Or, alternatively, do you want to re-register for TPS? Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we have helped so many to do exactly that. Should unsafe conditions prevail in your native country, TPS Renewal can help you to stay in America. We can help with TPS in a variety of ways.

Determining Eligibility
Many reach out to us with a particular immigration method in mind, whereas others do so simply with the goal of immigrating to America. During a free case evaluation, our attorneys can let you know which immigration path is right for you.

For example, in regards to TPS, you may be eligible if you are a native citizen of a TPS-designated country, if you’ve been continuously residing and physically present in America since your country’s TPS designation date, and if you file during open registration or re-registration.

That said, you could still be eligible if you were “habitually living” in a TPS-designated country but don’t have a nationality.

When you contact us, we can go over your case and help you with TPS or another immigration method, should that provide you with a better chance of success.

The Right Application At The Right Time
Here at Rijal, we can help with every step of the TPS application process. From collecting the evidence that proves you’re a citizen of a TPS-designated country, to evidence of your date of entry to America (as well as evidence of continuous residence), we can not only help you to put together the best possible application, but to do so on time as well.

That having been said, it is possible to qualify for filing a late initial TPS application. This process can be complicated and challenging to say the very least. However, we have guided clients through the late TPS renewal process so that they reach their immigration goals.

When To Re-Register For TPS
In mid-December of 2023, the Department of Homeland Security reiterated the TPS re-registration periods of Nepal, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Sudan respectively.

As of this writing, these re-registration periods are open. To maintain your TPS, you must re-register during every re-registration period. There are no exceptions.

So, if your TPS is for Nepal, then you can re-register till June 24th, 2025. If it’s for El Salvador, March 9th, 2025, for Haiti, August 3rd, 2024, for Honduras, July 5th, 2025, for Nicaragua, July 5th, 2025 and the Sudan for April 19th, 2025.

We can help you to renew when you should.

Beyond TPS Renewal
Our firm has extensive experience with the TPS initial application as well as the re-registration process. However, it is just one of the many immigration methods we can assist with. If you wish to immigrate to the United States, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation. There, we’ll sit down with you and see how we can help.

You can schedule this through our site or by giving us a call.

How A National Interest Waiver Lawyer Can Help Every Step Of The Way

Do you want to obtain a lawful United States permanent residence without having to get an employer as a sponsor? If so, have you considered applying for a National Interest Waiver? That’s exactly what the NIW can do. In fact, that’s in addition to its other benefits, such as waiving the need to go through the PERM processes or labor certification that comes with the EB2 and EB3 categories. A National Interest Waiver lawyer from the Rijal Law Firm can guide you through the entire process, from the initial application to a successful outcome.

Definitively Determining Your Eligibility
When you reach out to us for a free case evaluation, we can let you know whether or not you are a good fit for the National Interest Waiver.

For example, you may very well need evidence that conclusively shows you have at least a decade of full-time experience in your chosen occupation, as well as evidence of your membership in professional associations related to your field which require achievement to be a member.

Additionally, you could need conclusive evidence of a license to practice your profession, evidence that demonstrates your exceptional ability such as commanding higher remuneration than others in your field.

It could also be necessary to show that you have a diploma/degree/certificate and so forth from an institution of learning that relates to your exceptional ability, as well as evidence of recognition for your achievements/contribution to your industry by professional organizations, your peers, etc.

You only need three of the above, but you will need them. We can help you to collect all that and make the best possible case on your behalf.

A National Interest Waiver Lawyer Presenting The Best Case On Your Behalf
On that same subject, once all of that evidence is gathered, the next step is to put together the documents for your application. This is one area where it’s necessary to work with an experienced NIW attorney. There is no set format for the NIW application. You can’t go find one online and then follow that.

An attorney with NIW experience, however, knows what they’re looking for in an application. So, a member of our team can utilize our proven documents checklist, going over everything that you have extensively so as to make the best case for you.

An Immigration Law Firm That Stands With Immigrants
The National Interest Waiver can be an effective, viable way to immigrate. However, it is an extensive process. It involves massive amounts of paperwork. There is no substitute for experience when it comes to applying for the NIW. If you have an exceptional ability, should your proposed endeavor have national importance, then you owe it to yourself as well as those who count on you to put yourself in the best position possible for success.

We can help. You can schedule a free case evaluation through our site or by calling.

Actions An Experienced USCIS RFE Response Lawyer Can Take

Have you received an RFE and aren’t sure what to do next? Do you want to give yourself the best possible chance of success with your RFE? As frustrating and stressful as it can be, an RFE is just a “Request For Evidence.” It is not, by any means, a denial. Rather, it’s an opportunity. An experienced USCIS RFE Response Lawyer from our firm can help you in multiple ways.

What To Keep In Mind About An RFE
First, you only have a limited time to respond. You may have 87 days to do so. That may seem like a long period of time but it is not. A prompt, complete response is crucial. See, when the RFE is issued by the USCIS, all work on your case stops. If you don’t respond in time, or you respond in such a manner that does not provide the evidence that the USCIS seeks, then you’re very likely to be denied.

Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we have helped many over the years to avoid that.

What Can Cause The USCIS To Send You An RFE
Hopefully, all they’re asking for in your RFE is a simple document, something that maybe you forgot to send but have readily accessible, etc. Or even something like getting a translation of your documents that are in a language other than English from someone who isn’t you or your spouse.

However, many RFE’s are not that simple and instead are far more complex. They could require extensive documentation. Or, if you have a particularly unusual case, then the USCIS may have further questions.  An experienced lawyer from our firm can help you to not just collect the documentation you require carefully, but to also provide strong, considered arguments on your behalf.

Help Even If Your RFE Is Denied
In the event that, after you respond to an RFE, you still receive a denial, we may still be able to help. Depending on the type of visa you applied for, we may be able to make a legal motion to reopen your case, we may be able to refile the petition, or appeal through the AAO (Administrative Appeals Office).

It could also be that an immigration attorney from the Rijal Law Firm can help you to file for a different visa, to take an immigration method that may better fit your situation.

A USCIS RFE Response Lawyer From The Rijal Law Firm Is Ready To Help
If you receive an RFE or a NOID, it can be very difficult to consider either a positive development. However, neither is a rejection or denial. Instead, they’re a chance to make a better, stronger case.

That’s exactly what we can help you to do. If you receive an RFE or NOID, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation. You can do so by giving us a call or messaging us through our site.

U Visa Bona Fide Determination: Answering Your Questions

Did you suffer physical or mental abuse due to being the victim of a crime?  Have you agreed to assist law enforcement in the investigation of that crime? Depending on the crime you were a victim of, you may very well be eligible for a “U Visa.” With that, you may be able to live and work in the United States for years. Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we stand with victims. Over the years, we have been able to help many to navigate the U Visa Bona Fide Determination process. Below are some of the questions that we have been asked. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Can My Family Members Qualify?
Possibly. Depending on their relationship with the petitioner (their relationship with you), particular family members may be eligible to apply for U Visa status. You may have to include evidence of your relationship to your family members, they may have to pass a criminal background check, and so forth.

Who Determines The Certification?
First, you contact the police department where the crime occurred. Request an authorized party complete and sign Form I-918, Supplement B, U Nonimmigrant Status Certification. Many agencies commonly certify U Visa petitions. They include state and local police departments, prosecutors, District Attorneys, federal law environment, and, in rare cases, judges.

Unfortunately, in the wake of recently updated law enforcement guidelines, some agencies may be reluctant to issue a U Visa certification. Worse, some prosecutors and even police officers have tried to use a victim’s need for certification for leverage, trying to coerce them to cooperate beyond what’s necessary for the U Visa.

If you believe there’s even a chance that this happened to you, we encourage you to reach out to us. We have experience in negotiating with law enforcement and, if necessary, coordinating with victims’ advocates as well. We see it as one more way that we can help victims.

What Are Some Ways The Rijal Law Firm Can Help?
Beyond what’s listed above, we can pursue your case with not just experience, but with care and discretion as well. We know how challenging this time can be.

To successfully receive a U Visa, you have to submit a lengthy list of forms and documentation. We have a proven track record of obtaining certifications of assistance to law enforcement as well as successfully preparing the caliber of affidavits that can establish your case and more. We can support you through every step of the process.

How Can I Know What’s The Right Immigration Path For Me?
If you were a victim of a crime, applying for a U Visa very well may be the right course of action. However, that’s just one of the ways that we can help you and yours to be able to come to America. We are more than happy to sit down with you for a free case evaluation to see how we can help. Schedule this through our site or by calling.

What To Look For In An EB1 Visa Lawyer

Have you been researching EB1 visa attorneys but can’t find one that feels like the right fit? Does it seem like each EB1 visa lawyer more or less seems the same? Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we do everything in our power to stand out from the rest. Over the years, we have helped many to be able to successfully apply for and receive an EB1 visa. Now, we can put that experience to work for you. There are many ways that an attorney from our firm can help.

Experience
We have a proven track record of helping immigrants to successfully apply for the EB-1A as well as the EB-1B visas. These are as competitive as it gets. Genuinely talented people with extensive experience and lengthy lists of qualifications frequently do not receive those visas due to the level of competition. However, we have assisted many in being able to rise above that, to do what is necessary to help our clients to receive what they want.

A Personalized Approach For Your Immigration
That starts with a unique, personal approach. Your immigration path, your life experiences, your path, is different from anyone else’s. As such, we make sure that the case we make on your behalf reflects that. Instead of trying to force you into some “cookie-cutter” EB1 application, we construct a case that showcases the very best of you.

In doing so, we draw upon our experience, combining our knowledge of what we know the USCIS is looking for with what we know about your case. Always, we keep communication pathways open, so that we’re here to answer your questions and support you throughout the process.

Determining The Best Fit
EB-1A is for “Aliens With Extraordinary Qualities.” EB-1B is for “Outstanding Researchers/Outstanding Professors.” Those are lofty titles indeed. We have had many who came to us for a free case evaluation looking to immigrate to the United States who, after we looked at their background, we determined that they would be a good fit for these visas. Then, we put together the best case on their behalf accordingly.

However, it may also be that you best be served with a different immigration path, one that gives you a better chance of success, a better opportunity. When you come to us for a free case evaluation, we can point you towards the right for you.

A Law Firm With More Than Just An EB1 Visa Lawyer
The EB1 visa can be a great way to immigrate to the United States, yes, but really, it’s just one way to be able to immigrate to the country. There are many, many other ways. We have helped clients from essentially the world over to immigrate to the United States on their terms. To see how we can help you, we encourage you to schedule a free case evaluation with us either through our site or by giving us a call.

TPS Renewal And TPS Re-Registration: The Facts

Are you looking to complete the TPS re-registration process and aren’t sure exactly how to go about it? Does it feel like your TPS renewal is missing something but you don’t know what? These are common concerns that TPS holders have. Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we’ve helped many over the years to not just successfully apply for TPS initially but to renew as well. We can put that experience to work for you. Below are some questions we’re often asked.

What Forms May Be Required For TPS Renewal?
There are several forms required for your TPS renewal. Most likely, you’ll need Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) and Form I-821 (Application for Temporary Protected Status).

Additionally, your particular application may require a Request for a Fee Waiver (Form I-912) as well as evidence of your identity, your nationality, your date of entry into the United States, evidence that you have continuously resided here since the date associated with your specific native country, and more.

An experienced attorney from our firm can help you with any and all of these forms. That way, you can ensure that they’re filled out properly and on time.

What To Do If You’re Considering Traveling Outside The US
In certain cases, you may be able to apply for Advance Parole travel authorization. With that, you’ll be able to travel outside of the US while maintaining your immigration status.

That said, we strongly recommend that you reach out to us before you travel outside of America. Some TPS recipients may find that it’s more challenging to become permanent residents due to traveling abroad and so forth. During a free case evaluation, we can go over your particular situation and how we can help.

When Do I Have To File For TPS Re-Registration?
You have to re-register for TPS every time. You can’t just take one off, assume it’s going to happen automatically, etc. Each TPS-designated country has a different re-registration period. It is highly advised that you re-register during that time.

However, in the event that you are applying late, you still may very well be able to re-register your TPS status. This is another situation within which it is highly recommended that you speak to an experienced attorney. The process to apply for TPS re-registration after the deadline can be complicated to say the least. We can help to guide you through it every step of the way.

How Can The Rijal Law Firm Help?
At any point in the TPS process, an attorney from our firm can help. Whether you’re applying to TPS for the first time, you’re renewing your TPS, or you’re re-registering it, our attorneys are able to provide expertise and guidance.

Of course, TPS is just one way to come to America and stay here. There are many others. When you reach out to us, we can direct you towards the right one for your needs. To schedule a free case evaluation, message us through our site or call.
