Expert Family-Based Petitions and Adjustment of Status

Keeping families together and helping immigrants establish permanent legal roots is at the heart of our practice. Neighbors Immigration Clinic provides diligent assistance with family-sponsored applications, including I-130 relative petitions, consular processing, adjustment of status to secure green cards, and fiancé visas. Under the expert guidance of Legal Director Katie Taylor, our legal team meticulously drafts every application to avoid costly errors or processing delays. If you are seeking to adjust your legal status and need to hire a family immigration attorney who can explain your options in your own language, our clinic offers the strategic advocacy and sliding-scale pricing you need to move forward with confidence.

Professional Removal Defense and Asylum Representation

Facing deportation or presenting a case before an immigration court is a terrifying, high-stakes situation. Because the U.S. government does not provide free public defenders in immigration proceedings, many immigrants are forced to face judges alone. Neighbors Immigration Clinic offers expert, comprehensive representation for individuals in removal proceedings, representing clients before both the Cleveland and Memphis Immigration Courts. We specialize in complex humanitarian defense cases, including asylum applications for those fleeing violence or persecution, withholding of removal, and protections under the Convention Against Torture. If your family member is currently detained and you urgently need to find a deportation defense lawyer to secure a bond, our team is here to stand as your shield.

Critical Humanitarian Visas and Citizenship Services

Our non-profit clinic is deeply committed to protecting survivors of abuse, exploitation, and trauma. We assist survivors of domestic violence and other serious crimes in securing legal protection through Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitions, U visas, and T visas for human trafficking survivors. Additionally, we represent vulnerable youth through Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) cases. We also support long-term residents in achieving their ultimate goal of becoming United States citizens through comprehensive naturalization assistance, providing practical exam preparation and rights-focused education. If you are preparing to apply for naturalization and want to find a citizenship lawyer in Lexington, our bilingual team is ready to guide you step-by-step. 🎓
