Ossining is a diverse Hudson Valley community with a vibrant immigrant population. The village's Dominican community is one of the most established in Westchester, joined by growing Mexican, Central American, and South American populations. Many Ossining residents have been in the country for a decade or more — working, raising U.S. citizen children, and building lives — while navigating complex immigration situations that require experienced legal counsel.
Our Westchester immigration attorneys serve Ossining and all of northern and central Westchester County. Call (518) 698-0347 for your consultation.
Ossining has a large Dominican community alongside significant Mexican and Central American families. We file I-130 petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings with consular processing through Santo Domingo, Mexico City, and Central American embassies, as well as adjustment of status for those already in Westchester.
Asylum applications for Ossining residents fleeing persecution in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Central America, and other countries. We build asylum cases based on political opinion, religious persecution, particular social group, and government persecution, including withholding of removal and CAT protection.
I-485 adjustment of status for Ossining residents with approved immigrant petitions. Westchester County cases are handled through New York USCIS offices. We prepare thorough documentation packages and guide clients through the adjustment of status process to permanent residence.
Removal defense at 26 Federal Plaza for Ossining and Westchester County residents facing deportation proceedings. Cancellation of removal for those with 10+ years of continuous U.S. presence and qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR family members facing exceptional hardship.
N-400 naturalization applications for Ossining's permanent residents. Dominican, Mexican, and other Latin American immigrants who hold green cards and have satisfied the 5-year (or 3-year spousal) continuous residence requirement. We prepare clients for USCIS civics and English interviews.

Ossining is a Westchester County village on the Hudson River with a diverse and growing immigrant community. The village has a significant Dominican population, a large Mexican and Central American community, and smaller groups from Ecuador, Brazil, and other Latin American countries. Many Ossining residents are undocumented, hold TPS, or have been in the country for many years on expired status. Ossining is also home to Sing Sing Correctional Facility — immigrants in Westchester with criminal convictions face heightened deportation risk and should consult an immigration attorney about any criminal matter before it is resolved.
Ossining residents in removal proceedings appear at the New York Immigration Court at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan. There is no immigration court in Westchester County — all Westchester removal cases, including those for Ossining, are heard in Manhattan. Our attorneys appear regularly at 26 Federal Plaza and are familiar with the judges and procedures there.
If your daughter is under 21, she cannot file an immigrant petition for you yet. When she turns 21, she can file an I-130 for you as an immediate relative, which has no waiting list. However, because you entered without a visa or entered on a visa and overstayed more than 180 days, you have accumulated unlawful presence that would bar you from adjusting status in the U.S. or getting a visa abroad without a waiver. The I-601A provisional unlawful presence waiver, if approved, would allow you to attend a consular interview in the Dominican Republic and return with an immigrant visa. We evaluate these cases carefully and plan the filing strategy to minimize time outside the U.S.
Yes, depending on the nature of the conviction and the person's immigration history. Not all convictions trigger deportability or inadmissibility, and even if they do, relief may be available. Cancellation of removal requires 10 years of continuous presence (which a criminal arrest can interrupt under the stop-time rule), good moral character, and extreme hardship to U.S. citizen or LPR family. Some convictions are categorically disqualifying for cancellation, while others are not. An immigrant's prior DUI, drug possession, or other conviction must be analyzed under immigration law — the criminal law outcome is separate from the immigration law outcome. Never resolve a criminal case without immigration counsel.
