Legal Immigration

Individuals and families may choose to move for a number of reasons. Many people come to the United States for opportunities to:
  • seek asylum from political problems in their home countries
  • find new jobs
  • benefit from another country's stronger economy
  • gain rights and protections from a new government
  • reunite their families
Immigrants may seek permanent citizenship through naturalization. The first step in this process is to obtain a green card, which can be done if the immigrant is:
  • related to or marrying a citizen or permanent resident 
  • offered a job or has "extraordinary ability" (for example, in academic pursuits) 
  • categorized as an asylee or refugee
The United States Citizenship and immigration Services (USCIS) website has details on many more immigration circumstances, including adoption. Visit their site here.
 
If you have recently moved to the United States, the USCIS has a guide to adjusting to the new surroundings.

Documentation

The complete list of forms needed for legal immigration is available here. It lists the form title, number, cost to file, and version. Each form has instructions on how and where to file as well.

Some of the more important forms include:
Form N-600: Application for Certificate of Citizenship
Form N-400: Application for Naturalization
Form I-765: Application for Employment Authorization
 
As with any legal claim, it is important to keep all documents organized and filed. Without proof of your documents, it can be a much more difficult and long process to resolve the immigration issue. The Coye Law Firm can help you from the beginning of the immigration process to protect you through every step.

Discrimination

It is illegal for employers to discriminate against an applicant or employee based on their national origin. This includes their race, ethnicity, accent, or perceived ethnic background. If you have all necessary documentation in order to be granted a job in the United States, and your employer is not giving you equal opportunities in the workplace, you may have a discrimination claim. Discrimination claims also arise when people are denied housing based on their race or national origin.
