Phoenix Refugee Immigration Attorneys
The United States admits many refugees and asylum seekers every year from troubled areas of the world. The U.S. also admits their children and spouses, providing them with a derivative status as refugees or asylum-seekers. This can be a complicated process that could be much easier if you have an experienced immigration lawyer by your side.
Immigrants Helping Immigrants
At Kanu & Associates, P.C., our Phoenix immigration attorneys are immigrants or the children of immigrants. We understand the challenges people face when they come to the United States, especially if they have suffered hardship and fear in their home countries. Our law firm is proud to help the families of refugees enter the U.S. We use our experience and our special understanding of the immigrant experience to make the process as smooth as possible.
Our attorneys talk with our clients about the issues involved in petitioning to have your spouse and minor children come to the U.S. These include:
- Time limits on applications: You must apply within two years of entry into the U.S. or receipt of asylum status
- Immigration status: You must be a refugee, asylee or legal permanent resident (green card holder)
- Date of marriage: You must have been married before you applied for refugee or asylum status
- Age of child: Your child must have been born or conceived before you applied for refugee or asylum status
Please note: If you already have citizenship, refugee status is not available to your children or your spouse. However, there are other types of family-based immigration that may be available to you. Our attorneys can advise you.
