Louisville Immigration Attorneys

If you are a citizen or permanent U.S. resident wishing to bring family members into the United States, or if you are at risk of being deported to your country of origin, we can help. Our Kentucky immigration law firm will explain your rights and guide you through the process.

Colleen Balderson worked for a Cincinnati firm on immigration and asylum issues before joining her father in practice. As a Kentucky visas attorney, she handles all marriage and family visas and removal or asylum issues, serving clients in Jefferson County and surrounding areas of north central Kentucky.

There are many obstacles to the immigration process. Failing to follow the proper procedures could result in delayed proceedings, denials or even deportation. While the immigration process is complicated to most people, a Louisville immigration lawyer can help explain the laws and your possible alternatives. An attorney will complete and file the proper forms, accompany and represent you in court, and work to obtain your desired status.

Family-Based Visas

The English Law Group, P.S.C. is knowledgeable about family immigration laws and policies. We work closely with clients to obtain visas and green cards for family members to join you in the United States:

• Spouse visas (K-3) for a wife or husband to join you in America
• Fiancée visas (K-1) for U.S. citizens engaged to marry a foreign national
• Visas for children, siblings, parents and other relatives

The length of time to obtain entry for your loved one depends on the type of visa, the country, and your own residency status. It is important that all required documentation be submitted, per USCIS time lines. False information, missing information or missed deadlines can result in many more months of delay, or denial of the visa. Colleen Balderson will personally handle the application, explain your rights, prepare applicants for interviews, and contact the USCIS or foreign consulate when obstacles arise.

We frequently handle military immigration matters on behalf of those serving in the military and their families.

Naturalization

We also assist permanent residents who wish to become naturalized citizens. Ms. Balderson can help with the applications, and prepare you for the interview and U.S. citizenship test.

Deportation / Removal • Asylum Applications

The English Law Group, P.S.C. offers strong representation if you are facing possible removal from the United States. We can help clients in danger of deportation for:

• Overstaying a visa
• A criminal conviction
• False information on a visa application
• Other immigration problems

We will work with the Immigration Court and USCIS to negotiate a stay or termination of removal, or protect your rights in a removal hearing before an immigration judge. We understand your fears about deportation, but the sooner you contact our attorney the more likely she will be able to help.

If you or a family member faces political persecution or violence in your home country, The English Law Group, P.S.C. will assist you in filing an application for asylum or refugee status. We help refugees and asylum seekers from any country. Whether your visa is about to expire, or you are already in removal proceedings, we will be your voice. Ms. Balderson will represent you or a loved one in immigration hearings to argue for protection under U.S. law.
