Our team of attorneys have many years of experience representing clients involved in immigration cases of all types. We have worked with clients who have entered the United States both legally and illegally. We have helped non-citizens from all walks of life, with or without status, to fight to remain in the U.S.

    Our Immigration Attorney In Lexington, KY, Focuses On Your Needs

    Immigration laws in the United States are complicated, and the chances of being deported in today’s political climate are very high. Our immigration attorney deals with the needs of immigrants every day and knows how to handle them to increase the chances of achieving a favorable outcome. Among the most important issues are:

    Detention by ICE

    The number of people held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for immigration violations increases each year in America. Detentions often occur because an individual is residing in the United States without authorization. Even long-time legal permanent residents can be detained by ICE if they have a criminal  record, including misdemeanors and non-violent offenses. An immigrant can be held in detention for many months while he or she fights the ICE charges.

    Individuals held in immigration custody are considered federal (rather than state) detainees, even if they are physically held in state or local facilities. The Chicago ICE office oversees all immigrants who are arrested and detained in Kentucky, as well as those in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin. When an arrest is made in Kentucky, ICE typically takes immigrants to the closest local field office, which is in Louisville, where they are processed. These immigrants are then frequently transported to the Boone County jail in Burlington, KY – the closest county jail that has a contract with ICE.

    You can use the Online Detainee Locator System to find someone in immigration detention. The conditions of detention must meet minimum standards, though the conditions themselves can vary from location to location. The National Detention Standards (NDS) and Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) govern the conditions of detention. The NDS can be found here, while the PBNDS are here.

    If you have a family member who has been detained by ICE, you need an experienced immigration attorney on your side who can fight the legal system and work to secure your loved one’s release. Contact an immigration lawyer in Lexington, KY, at Carman Fullerton at  859-971-0060 for an initial conversation about your loved one’s status.

    Getting a Green Card

    Typically there are three primary ways to get a green card (signifying permanent residency) in Kentucky – through marriage, employment or family ties.

    More than 5,400 people successfully secured green cards in Kentucky in 2017. They immigrated from countries around the world. Currently in Kentucky there are more than 140,000 foreign-born residents.

    The U.S. Customs and Immigration Service maintains one field office in Kentucky. It is located at the Gene Snyder U.S. Courthouse and Custom House at 601 West Broadway, Suite 390, Louisville, KY 40202.

    Getting a green card is a difficult process in the United States, requiring a great deal of paperwork, legal filings, fees and vaccinations, among other things. The best way to start the process of securing a green card is to contact an experienced immigration lawyer to guide you. If you have married a resident of Kentucky, are employed by a company in Kentucky, or have family members living in this state, the green card process will be easier, but it is not guaranteed. The immigration attorneys at Carman Fullerton can give you more information about your unique situation.

    Getting Non-Immigrant Visas

    Carman Fullerton can also help with non-immigrant visas related to working, traveling or living in the U.S., as well as other matters. Some of these include:

    • H1B Visa Specialty Occupation
    • B1 Business Travel
    • E1Visa Treaty Trader
    • E2 Visa Treaty Investor
    • B2 Tourist Visa
    • F1 Visa Academic Students

      WHY YOU NEED AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY IN LEXINGTON/

      You are not required by law to have an attorney handle any of your legal matters. It is possible to file all necessary paperwork and represent yourself at all hearings, negotiations and trials in court. But your chances of winning are much greater if you have an experienced lawyer. The immigration attorneys at Carman Fullerton handle a range of cases for our clients. For example:

      • If you’re dealing with a personal injury or workers’ comp claim, your lawyer may effectively negotiate a satisfactory settlement, helping you avoid a costly trial.
      • When you are represented by a lawyer against ICE, the chances of success are also noticeably better than if you argue your own case before an immigration judge.
      • Having a seasoned family law attorney helps obtain the best possible outcome for you and your children.
      • A good DUI lawyer can make the difference between staying out of jail and keeping your driver’s license – and losing both your freedom and privilege to drive.

      A case evaluation is the best way to learn how Carman Fullerton can help you with whatever legal challenge you face. There is no charge for your first consultation, so don’t hesitate to call us today.

      What Makes a Good Immigration Attorney in Lexington?

       

      First, having a lawyer who has trial experience is an important thing to look for in an immigration attorney in Lexington, because a trial could be the eventual outcome of your case. At Carman Fullerton, we try to resolve immigration issues for our clients through negotiations, but we are prepared to argue in front of a judge and in a courtroom if that is what’s needed. We are highly skilled trial lawyers.

      You also want to look for the following things when choosing an immigration lawyer:

      • Your lawyer’s ability to investigate the facts, then build your solid case around them
      • Your immigration attorney’s proven effectiveness at negotiating
      • A high level of compassion for you, the client
      • The ability to listen attentively to your concerns and offer support.

      Our immigration lawyers in Lexington possess all of these characteristics and more. We have decades of experience championing the unique causes of our immigrant community. We are here for you, and we are easy to talk to.

      Be aware that there are statutes of limitations (time limits) for filing many cases. The statutes of limitation vary for the many different legal issues related to immigration, vehicle accident injury claims, and on-the job injuries and workers’ compensation. Your Carman Fullerton immigration lawyer will make sure you understand the time limits that may apply to your situation and will get to work for you immediately.
