Bronx Immigration FAQs

Do you serve all Bronx neighborhoods?

Yes! We serve clients throughout the entire Bronx, including Fordham, Parkchester, Co-op City, Riverdale, Soundview, Mott Haven, Concourse, Pelham Bay, Williamsbridge, Castle Hill, Morris Heights, Kingsbridge, Tremont, Bedford Park, Norwood, and all other Bronx neighborhoods. We provide virtual consultations accessible from anywhere in the Bronx.

How do I bring my spouse from the Dominican Republic to the Bronx?

If you're a U.S. citizen or green card holder in the Bronx, you can sponsor your spouse by filing Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) with USCIS. Once approved, your spouse applies for an immigrant visa at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo through consular processing. After receiving the visa, they can enter the U.S. and will receive their green card. Spouses of U.S. citizens are immediate relatives, so there is no visa queue and the wait is USCIS and consular processing; those figures change regularly, so check the current figure for your form on the USCIS processing-times page, or ask us at your consultation. Our attorneys guide Bronx families through this entire process.

Can you help with TPS for Bronx residents?

Yes. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is available for nationals of certain countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. The Bronx has large communities from TPS-designated countries including El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, Venezuela, and others. We assist with TPS initial registration, re-registration, work permit renewals, and travel authorization.

Where is the immigration court for Bronx residents?

Bronx residents in removal proceedings typically appear at the New York Immigration Court located at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. We represent Bronx clients at this court for all immigration hearings including master calendar hearings, individual hearings, asylum interviews, bond hearings, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

How much does an immigration lawyer cost in the Bronx?

Immigration lawyer fees in the Bronx depend on your case type — family green card petitions, naturalization, TPS registration and renewal, asylum, deportation defense and work visas like H-1B are each quoted individually. Flat fees are quoted in writing before work starts, and payment plans are available. Government filing fees are set by USCIS, published on uscis.gov, and listed separately. We offer initial consultations for Bronx residents.

Can I adjust status to get a green card while in the Bronx?

Yes, adjustment of status (Form I-485) allows you to apply for a green card while in the United States, including the Bronx. You must have an approved immigrant petition (I-130 for family, I-140 for employment), an available visa number, and meet admissibility requirements. Common adjustment categories include immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, family preference categories, employment-based categories, and asylum-based adjustments. The process includes biometrics and an interview at 26 Federal Plaza; USCIS processing times for the I-485 change regularly, so check the current figure or ask us at your consultation.

What should I do if I receive a deportation notice in the Bronx?

If you receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) for removal proceedings, contact an immigration attorney immediately. You have the right to legal representation in immigration court. Do NOT miss your court hearing at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. Possible defenses include: asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, prosecutorial discretion, or challenging removability. Our attorneys represent Bronx residents in all types of deportation defense cases. Time is critical – contact us as soon as you receive any immigration court documents.

How do I renew my green card in the Bronx?

To renew your green card (if expired or expiring within 6 months), file Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card) with USCIS. USCIS charges a filing fee; the current amount is published on uscis.gov. You'll receive a biometrics appointment notice and a receipt notice that serves as proof of your status for 12 months. USCIS processing times for the I-90 change regularly — check the current figure on the USCIS processing-times page. Bronx residents can file online or by mail. If you've had your green card for 10 years and are eligible for citizenship, consider applying for naturalization instead of renewal.
