Immigration law is federal, governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. §§ 1101 et seq.) and Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 C.F.R.). These statutes define visa categories, grounds of inadmissibility, removal proceedings, and pathways to lawful permanent residence. For Warren County residents, the INA determines eligibility for green cards, naturalization, and deportation defense. The firm’s founder, Mr. Sris, a former prosecutor, founded Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. in 1997 and brings over 120 years of combined attorney experience to every case.
For I-751 petitions (removal of conditions on residence), the specific statute is INA § 216 (8 U.S.C. § 1186a). This section requires joint filing by both spouses during the 90-day period before the conditional green card expires. Failure to file results in automatic termination of status. Our conditional green card removal lawyer Warren County team guides you through this process.
