Associations

As a firm focused on criminal law, the Law Office of Preston Jones stands out with the ability to assess immigration consequences with every criminal conviction. However, there is also a personal aspect to why we are dedicated to immigration law representation..

Preston Jones understands the stress of the immigration. While studying in Spain in 2005 he fell in love with a girl from Poland. In 2006 they became engaged and filed for a fiancé visa. Preston had to spend six months apart from his fiancé while the application was in process. After her adjustment of status and then removal of conditions, his wife took her oath of citizenship in 2010. The same year Preston became a licensed attorney.

That experience defines our approach to immigration matters because we know that you experience the same feelings when pursuing family-based visas or facing the prospect of deportation or removal. Any separation from your loved ones, no matter how short, is always a burden. We would not want anyone we care about going through this and so when you visit our office, we put the same care into your case as we did into our own. We love hearing everyone’s immigration story and it would be our honor to be a part of yours.

SECURING FAMILY-BASED VISAS

When you build a life in the United States, it is natural you wish for your family to join you. If you are authorized as a citizen or permanent resident, there are limits and restrictions on the family members who can join you in the states.

However, we will investigate your circumstances to figure out the best approach to securing visas for your spouse, children, and less immediate relatives. Since the forms are often complex and the procedure is overwhelming, we will act as your advocate and guide through every step. You will benefit from the reassurance that each step is completed correctly by someone with experience which will increase the chances of a successful visa process for your family.

THE FEAR OF DEPORTATION

Missing a deadline or facing a criminal charge can start removal and deportation proceedings. This is every immigrant’s worse nightmare: After working hard to make a good life in the U.S. and hoping to have family members join you, the last thing you want is to be forcibly removed from your new home.

Our firm seeks the best defense to removal proceedings so that you can stay in this great country. There are ways to dismiss the proceeding or remedy any mistakes you made in the immigration process so you can continue to stay. Do not abandon hope and believe removal is inevitable. Certainly do not miss a court date! Visit us today so we can investigate solutions.

HUMANITARIAN VISAS

Everyone knows about Asylum and Refugee status for immigrants who are persecuted in their own country, but many immigrants experience abuse right here in the United States and are too afraid of removal to come forward. Visas exist for victims of violent crimes (VAWA and U-Visas) and for children who have been abandoned abused or neglected by one or both of their parents (Special Immigrant Juveniles). At the Law Office of Preston Jones, we want to help you free yourself from abuse and bring you out of the shadows so that you can gain lawful status in the United States and a chance at the American dream.
