How Gioia Law Protects Your Rights
AnaMaria’s approach to immigration law is defined by her deep commitment to social justice and her extensive background in appellate and litigation practice. She does more than fill out forms; she builds comprehensive legal strategies designed to withstand the scrutiny of ICE, USCIS, and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).
Our firm’s immigration practice includes:
- Removal (deportation) defense: When the government initiates proceedings to remove you from the country, you need a litigator who understands the rules of the immigration court. AnaMaria focuses on finding paths to relief, even in the most difficult circumstances.
- Asylum relief: For those fleeing violence or persecution, seeking asylum is fraught with evidentiary hurdles. AnaMaria has a proven track record of successfully obtaining asylum for clients, providing a secure future in the U.S.
- Family petitions: Bringing family members to the U.S. involves navigating the intricate requirements of USCIS. We help families manage these petitions for correct and efficient processing.
- Crimmigration and post-conviction relief: For non-citizens, a criminal record can harm immigration status. We provide detailed analysis of the immigration consequences of criminal charges and pursue post-conviction relief, such as motions to vacate pleas, to protect clients from deportation stemming from past legal issues.
- Humanitarian protections: We assist survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other serious crimes in securing lawful status. Whether you are self-petitioning under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) or seeking a U Visa for assisting law enforcement, we provide a confidential and protective environment to build your case.
- Special immigrant juvenile status (SUS): We advocate for children and undocumented youth who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by a parent. This pathway allows vulnerable juveniles to obtain a Green Card and build a stable life in the U.S.
- TPS, DACA, and temporary statuses: As federal policies change, we help clients maintain and renew their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to keep them work-authorized and protected from removal.
- Waivers of inadmissibility: If you are considered "inadmissible" due to unlawful presence or other technical grounds, we can prepare comprehensive waiver applications to help you reunite with your family.
