It involves creating legal documents like wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to ensure your wishes are followed, minimize taxes, and protect your loved ones’ financial future.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS:

Are You or A Loved One in Deportation Proceedings? Have You or a Loved One Been Deported from the United States? If You Are a Derivative Citizen This is Your Deportation Defense. Ask the Lawyer Now. Call 855-768-8845 Today.

In the United States, the primary routes to citizenship are birthright (jus soli), naturalization, and derivative citizenship.

When Can a Green Card Holder File for Citizenship, Its Benefits, and Its Role as a Defense Against Deportation under a Trump Administration in 2025
As the United States approaches a Trump administration in 2025, the rights and security of non-citizens are again under scrutiny. Immigrants who hold green cards (lawful permanent resident status) may find themselves vulnerable to shifting policies, increased enforcement, and the risk of deportation for infractions that might otherwise seem minor.
