Understanding How Immigration and Criminal Issues Intersect
Immigration law and criminal law connect in ways that catch many people by surprise. A criminal conviction that seems minor can make you deportable or inadmissible. Even arrests that didn’t lead to convictions can complicate visa applications and green card petitions.
Silver Law Firm’s background in criminal defense gives us insight that most immigration practices lack. We understand how to review criminal records for immigration consequences. Some convictions that appear to be aggravated felonies or crimes involving moral turpitude may not meet the technical definitions under immigration law.
Post-conviction relief can sometimes eliminate immigration consequences from old criminal cases. Vacating a conviction under state law may remove the immigration bar it created. Our approach considers both your immigration goals and your criminal record to find solutions that protect your status in the United States.

Employment-Based Immigration for Skilled Workers
H-1B visas allow employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations that typically require bachelor’s degrees or higher in specific fields. The annual H-1B cap creates intense competition each spring when employers can file new petitions. We work with companies to prepare petitions that meet all requirements.
The EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based green cards serve professionals with advanced degrees and skilled workers. We guide employers through prevailing wage determinations, job posting requirements, and potential Department of Labor audits. After obtaining labor certification, we prepare I-140 immigrant petitions with supporting documentation.
Some professionals with extraordinary ability or those whose work serves the national interest may qualify for employment green cards without labor certification. The EB-1A category and National Interest Waiver under EB-2 allow self-petitioning when you meet strict standards.

Defending Clients in Removal Proceedings
Removal proceedings threaten everything you’ve built in the United States. Immigration courts operate under their own rules and procedures, separate from criminal courts. You need legal representation that understands immigration law and knows how to present defenses to immigration judges.
We represent clients from the first master calendar hearing through individual merits hearings and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals. Depending on your circumstances, we may pursue cancellation of removal, asylum, adjustment of status, withholding of removal, or other forms of relief.
Some clients face removal based on criminal convictions. We analyze whether those convictions actually qualify as deportable offenses under immigration law. A conviction that appears to require deportation may not meet the specific elements needed under immigration statutes.
