Federal Immigration Law and Relief Options
Immigration law is exclusively federal jurisdiction. The primary statutes are the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.) and Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These laws govern all applications for relief from removal, including asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, and waivers. The process is administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for applications and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) for court proceedings. Founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, our firm handles these complex federal matters.
