If you are an immigrant or foreigner living in the United States, you should have a clear understanding of your visa status. For those without a valid visa or authorized stay, legal defenses, such as Cancellation of Removal or Withholding of Removal, may be raised on your behalf.
Foreigners outside of the United States need a visa or other travel document to enter and/or reside in the United States. Generally, foreign nationals can be petitioned by close relatives who are United States citizens or residents, in addition to being petitioned by certain employers.
