Pride Immigration Law Firm PLLC Offers Processing for all Types of Immigration Waivers

The landscape of U.S. legal immigration services is changing. Immigration waivers are becoming more widely utilized by more individuals in order to help them avoid certain penalties and remain in the U.S. under a lawful status. In response to the increasing number of individuals seeking immigration waivers, Pride Immigration Law Firm PLLC is now offering immigration waiver services including I-601 waiver and I-601A waiver processing.



Along with offering affordable immigration waiver processing, Pride Immigration Law Firm PLLC is hoping to spread awareness of the usefulness of the I-601 and I-601A waiver which have significant benefits for those who qualify. Both waivers can allow qualifying individuals to avoid penalties for "unlawful presence" or, time spend in the U.S. without being under a lawful status. The penalties for unlawful presence can be a 3 year or even a 10 year bar on lawful re-entry to the U.S., depending on how much time the individual has accrued in the U.S. without a lawful status.

Both waivers are based on the idea of "extreme hardship", which is why these waivers are also commonly referred to as "extreme hardship waivers". The term, "extreme hardship" has a specific legal definition that must be satisfied in order for an individual to qualify for either waiver. To satisfy the requirements for extreme hardship, the court must determine that if the applicant is removed from the U.S., the qualifying relative (individual related to the applicant) would suffer a hardship that is worse than the hardship experienced by an ordinary familial separation.

Although both waivers are very similar, there is a key difference between who is eligible for the two waivers:

1) The I-601 Hardship Waiver can only be submitted after an official immigration interview overseas.

2) The I-601A Waiver can be submitted by an individual while in the U.S.

Different types of immigration waivers also exist that can help individuals avoid penalties for certain events in their past. These are all forms of hardship waivers and include:

- Criminal Conviction Waiver

- Misrepresentation or Fraud Waiver

- Nonimmigrant Waiver

A common misconception that many individuals make with immigration waivers is that they are simple and can be managed without help from a licensed immigration lawyer. However, both the I-601 and I-601A hardship waivers need to be managed by legal professionals because of their potential to trigger a three year or ten year bar. However, potential candidates should not be deterred from these waivers due to the benefit of allowing individuals to surpass standard penalties.

Hispanic Rights Advocate Educates Local Communities on DAPA and DACA immigration reforms

In lieu of President Barack Obama's newly proposed immigration reforms, the law offices of Tucker & Associates PLLC has funded a local area radio tour featuring attorney and activist, Enid Gonzalez Aleman. The goal of the campaign is to educate Hispanic/Latino communities on the specific guidelines of the Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programs. During her recent and upcoming speaking events attorney Aleman has covered a broad range of related topics including specific qualifying criteria, DAPA DUI, guidelines for the DACA program and general DAPA Immigration news.

The campaign will focus on both broadcast and print mediums. Established immigration attorney and notable Hispanic/Latino rights advocate, Enid Gonzalez Aleman's public debuts in on radio and in print have been received positively by both readers and listeners alike. To date, Ms. Aleman has made an appearance on the popular Spanish language broadcast, El Zol 107.9 FM - Poder 1030 AM and has additionally been the focus in an article featured in, El Tiempo Latino of the Washington Post.

Enid was chosen by the firm to participate in their awareness campaign as head spokesperson due to her outstanding professional history, in addition to a deep connection to the Hispanic/Latino community. According to Enid, many Hispanic/Latino communities struggle with developing trust with local immigration law firms in part due to language barriers. This harms the well-being of the individuals of these communities because they are sequestered from more reliable resources.

Enid believes that her selection as the campaigns spokesperson will help combat any reservations held by local Hispanic/Latino communities. It is her hopes that her standing as a credible immigration law professional who also speaks and writes in Spanish with native fluency, will encourage native Spanish speakers in local Hispanic/Latino communities to seek out the legal help they need and deserve. Enid is proud to represent Tucker & Associates PLLC, a firm that regularly demonstrates its investment in these communities by routinely generating and featuring useful legal content in Spanish. These materials are provided both in print and on the firm's website.

As the campaign moves forward, Enid, with help from Tucker & Associates PLLC hope to have a positive effect in local communities by providing useful information during a critical time.

Recent Supreme Court ruling may help promote safe driving practices in Maryland

Recently, the Supreme Court has ruled that evidence found during a traffic stop occurring due to a misunderstanding of the law is still valid for use in court. Tucker & Associates PLLC has seen a large influx of cases from the State or Maryland. Drivers who are wrongfully stopped for traffic violations such as driving without a license in Maryland or other common infractions are at risk. A review of the firm's website analytics confirmed the rise of clients charged with traffic penalties in Maryland. Records included dozens of variations for Maryland traffic violations such as "reckless driving maryland" or "speeding in Maryland".

The Supreme Court reached its decision over a case involving a man who was wrongfully pulled over in North Carolina and was then subsequently charged with drug trafficking due to the evidence that was found in his car during the stop. The driver was operating a vehicle that only had one working break light. After the motorist was pulled over for the brake light, a subsequent search revealed a significant amount of narcotics in the driver's possession.

The defense's argument was that the charge would never have been issued if it were not for the incorrect interpretation of the law by the NC police officer. According to North Carolina traffic law, a vehicle is only required to have one fully operational break light. This means that the motorist was initially pulled over without having committed an official traffic violation.

The court agreed that the driver of the vehicle did not break any traffic laws however, Chief Justice John Roberts affirmed that the officer's misunderstanding was "reasonable". This means that although the office was initially incorrect, it was not an incompetent mistake. Furthermore, the charge of drug trafficking that was later assigned did not involve any misinterpretation of the law.

Tucker and Associates PLLC has a history of educating clients on traffic laws in the areas the firm serves. However, due to the high volume of Maryland clients charged with traffic violations, Tucker and Associates PLLC has put a special emphasis of ensuring its Maryland clientele are well aware of the new interpretation of traffic law due to the Supreme Court's decision.
