LGBTQ
At AGLG, our attorneys have extensive experience advising lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) immigrants and their families. Our attorneys have successfully helped numerous LGBT clients to get their permanent residency based on their marriage. We counsel these individuals and their loved ones on a wide range of immigration issues relating to fiancé(e) visas, and marriage based green cards, and immigration waivers that require a showing of hardship to a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident spouse. With extensive experience representing LGBT clients, we understand the unique issues same-sex couples face in the immigration process.
Our clients arrive in the United States fleeing from their countries with histories of imprisonment, bodily harm, torture, and psychological trauma. They have not committed any crimes, yet they cannot live freely in their own countries due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Their trauma is inflicted on them by their own governments, countrymen, and, worst of all, friends and families. Many have faced unfathomable challenges to escape their home countries and travel to the United States. Here at AGLG, we provide a safe, welcoming professional environment for them to tell their stories to support their legal claims before USCIS or the Immigration Court. We are experienced and empathetic and are confident presenting these cases. Please contact us for a professional consultation to understand the asylum path here in the United States.
