Areas of Practice - Green Cards, Visas, Deportation Defense & More

At Maney | Gordon | Zeller, P.A., our immigration attorneys in Albuquerque can handle all aspects of immigration and nationality law.

Listed below are some of the most common cases that our firm handles:

With naturalization, the immigrant must apply with Form N-400 and pass a naturalization test in addition to meeting certain requirements.

  • Deportation defense - The government refers to most deportation cases now as "removal" cases. Any individual who is found guilty of violating U.S. immigration laws can be ordered by an immigration judge to be removed from the country.

  • Visas - There are many different types of visas, such as visas for employees, family members, and individuals.
