The Importance of Hiring an Immigration Lawyer in Tucson
The smallest error on immigration paperwork can mean rejection of your immigration application. The same holds true regarding missing filing deadlines. That is why hiring an immigration lawyer is vital.
When you have a qualified Tucson immigration attorney handling your case, you know that your application is filed correctly and on time. We will advise you on every step of the visa process and answer all your questions.
Services We Offer
The primary way to receive permanent resident status, or a green card, is through sponsorship by either a family member or employer.

Family-based Immigration
The priority for family-based immigration is as follows, as per the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):
- First preference (F1) – unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and older) of U.S. citizens
- Second preference (F2A) – spouses and children (unmarried and under 21 years of age) of lawful permanent residents
- Second preference (F2B) – unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and older) of lawful permanent residents
- Third preference (F3) – married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
- Fourth preference (F4) – brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age and older).
Employment-based Immigration
To obtain an employment-based immigration visa, the applicant’s potential employer must file for labor certification approval from the U.S. Department of Labor. Once approved, the employer files Form 1-140, the Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers.
There are preference categories for employment-based immigration visas. These consist of:
- Employment First Preference (E1): Priority Worker and Persons of Extraordinary Ability
- Employment Second Preference (E2): Professionals Holding Advanced Degrees and Persons of Exceptional Ability
- Employment Third Preference (E3): Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Workers (Other Workers)

Assistance with Naturalization and Citizenship Applications
An immigration attorney in Tucson can help those wanting to establish permanent residency in the U.S. with the filing of their applications. Your attorney will determine whether you meet eligibility standards for receiving a green card and let you know the documents that need to be filed with your application.
Keep in mind that while green card holders can live and work in the U.S., they do not enjoy many of the benefits of citizenship.
Many permanent residents want to become U.S. citizens. They can apply to do so five years after receiving a green card, although the period is just three years for the spouses of U.S. citizens.
Upon becoming a U.S. citizen, you can receive a U.S. passport and have the right to vote. It becomes easier for family members to come to the U.S.
An immigration lawyer in Tucson can assist in filing Form N-400, the Application for Naturalization for those seeking U.S. citizenship.
Deportation Defense Strategies
There is no time to lose if you are facing removal or deportation. A Tucson immigration attorney will devise deportation defense strategies based on your specific circumstances.
