FAQs About Immigration

What are the 4 types of immigration status?

In the United States, there are 4 types of immigration status; they are citizens, residents, non-immigrants, and undocumented.

  • Citizens: people who are born in the U.S. or who have been “naturalized” after 3-5 years as a permanent resident. These people can never be deported unless their citizenship was gained fraudulently.
  • Residents: conditional or permanent, are those who have obtained a green card, which can be done through several different routes. Being a lawful permanent resident of the United States for 5 years can and will typically lead to becoming a naturalized citizen.
  • Non-immigrant: the status given to those who are in the country on a temporary basis, such as students (F-1 visa), those visiting for business purposes (B1 visa), tourists (B2 visa), fiancees (K-1 visa), and more.
  • Undocumented Immigrants: who are also called illegal immigrants. This status is typically obtained either through entering the country illegally or by overstaying a legal, but temporary visa. Any undocumented immigrant runs the risk of being deported.
What are the 3 types of immigration?

There are 3 main types of immigration in the United States; they include:

  • Family-based Immigration: allows U.S. citizens and permanent residents to petition the government to allow certain family members into the country
  • Employment-based Immigration: often sponsored by a specific employer and is available for permanent and temporary placements within the U.S.
  • Humanitarian Immigration:  allows refugees to come to the United States to escape persecution and allows those seeking asylum to stay in the U.S. if their home country is too dangerous or unstable for them to return
How long is the immigration process?

The process length can vary depending on what type of immigration you are pursuing, but typically the processing time for “naturalization” or citizenship applications is about 14 months. However, that is just the application processing time, and process as a whole will take longer and can get complicated. That’s why it is highly recommended to consult with an experienced immigration attorney near Baton Rouge!

How does an immigrant get a green card?

If you are eligible, all you have to do is file Form I-485, the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status with USCIS. You must also include all required documents and fees. This is put very simply, and having the best immigration lawyer in Baton Rouge on your side to help you understand immigration law will definitely help your immigration case go smoothly!

They are the best immigration lawyers. Thanks to the lawyer Rachel my husband won his asylum. They are more than more than recommended, it was a blessing from God that they represent my husband.

I’m so glad I picked Rozas’ to help me through my divorce. They handled everything so well, quickly, and cost-effectively. In particular, Brandi, who I interacted with the most was beyond amazing. She always responded to messages right away, and not only was efficient but also compassionate in the way that she interacted with me. Definitely recommend!

Mary Allen

For all my Latin friends who are going through immigration and legal processes, I recommend this law firm since they are excellent. They defend the Latino community very well. They are very professional and attentive. They respond to you immediately and fight for your case. A thousand thanks to Pamela for being super attentive and Nancy who was exceptional. Also to John Sharby and his colleagues who worked on my wife's case who was in a Louisiana detention center, they are the best. Many thanks to all for their professionalism.

Aidevis Zamora

I am so very thankful that I found Rozas & Rozas Law Firm. They were so professional and nice. I was blown away with how fast they got me in and was able to help me with my situation. Corey was so helpful. He felt more like a friend than an attorney but I am so grateful for them during the WHOLE experience and I most definitely will use them if I ever need that law assistance again! Thank you Rozas & Rozas. :)

Trévon Dyson

We couldn't be more happy about choosing this law-firm. We live in Miami and have a friend that needed help with an immigration case. We did a lot of research and called many different firms and decided to go with Rozas and Associates. From the moment we called, Nancy took the time to explain us everything and what our options were, she was very patient and helpful. Once we decided to hire them, Joseph, David and Rachel were assigned to our case. Rachel is THE BEST! She answered our calls always, and whenever she was busy or not available to talk, she always called us back or texted us... every question that we had throughout the process was professionally and patiently answered by her. She's amazing!!!

Dany Thimann

Jessica and David were amazing! They made me feel like my issue was important, they took the time to explain things to me and prepare me for any outcome, they were always there every time I called them with any questions, and always looked and acted very professional. I highly recommend them! 😊

Stacey Garcia

David is very professional & friendly. Never had to wait for multiple days before he responded to our calls or replied to my emails with an answer to our questions & concerns. Responding in a timely manner made us feel that our needs were not taken lightly. It truly was a really positive experience.

Mirna Sorto

I wanted to apply for my citizenship and Jessica referred me to Rozas and Associates. They made the whole process seem so simple. David and his staff were extremely knowledgeable, not to mention friendly. I highly recommend them for any of your immigration issues.

Janie Garcia

This law firm is amazing! David represented me in my case and he could not have done a better job. The staff is so professional and friendly. Especially Jessica. They make you feel like your case is the most important one they are working. I plan to recommend them to all of my friends and family who may need their services.

Michelle Barron

Attentive, thorough, passionate about justice for immigrants, honest and fair – these are some of the words to describe Rozas and Associates law firm. My boyfriend was detained at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana in June 2019. We hired Rozas to represent him because of their reputation amongst the detainees in the Center. Rachel Chappell and the rest of the Rozas team worked tirelessly to assist us – and he won full asylum one week ago.

Josie Lalonde

Very good service from all the Rozas & Rozas workers, they help all the immigrants as if they were their family. In my personal experience I have to thank the majority but in my case directly to Tirsa, Danira, Alejandra, Ana and the lawyer Rachel🙏 🙏🏻🙏🏻..Thank you on behalf of my cousin Fidel and the whole family🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dunia Rodriguez

Rozas and Associates Law Firm was absolutely amazing handling a case for me. They were very nice and got back to me and whatever I needed. The bond department was on top of everything and managed to get bond for the case. I couldn’t recommend a more better or more reliable group of people to handle immigration cases.
