New York Immigration Attorney
Deportation ◊ Green cards ◊ Citizenship
Our practice covers all aspects of immigration, from obtaining your green card to becoming a legal U.S. citizen. The Law Office of Evelyn Tossas Tucker has helped hundreds of clients in the New York area with their deportation cases, and we have helped hundreds of clients through the naturalization process. We are located directly across the street from the USCIS in Manhattan. This proximity familiarizes our office with the application processes and the reputations of each immigration judge. We know the high expectations and legal requirements of the immigration judges, which improves the efficiency of our clients' cases.
The threat of deportation is a very real fear for many immigrants, especially if you are HIV-positive or have been charged with or convicted of a crime. We realize that some of our clients’ lives or well-beings may be in danger if they are deported back to their native countries, and we have a reputation for thoroughly informing our clients of any possible risks associated with legal action before we decide, as a team, how to go forward.
We also practice in the area of family and labor cert immigration, helping individuals obtain their green cards to live and work in the U.S. including H1-B and other non-immigrant visas. We can help you with HIV and other medical waivers, bring family members to the U.S., even help you find employment and complete your Affidavit of Support for labor certification.
Many immigrants dream of becoming legal U.S. citizens, for various reasons – to participate in government programs, to travel freely across U.S. borders, to vote – and these are achievable only through the process of naturalization. We can help you through the citizenship process, including the acquisition waivers for those who are unable to pass the English proficiency tests because of age or illness.

Deportation

Evelyn Tossas Tucker is such a lawyer. Her prior experience as an INS prosecutor provides great insight and knowledge about New York City immigration deportation.
Green Cards
The United States permanent resident card-which used to be green-is an identification card for immigrants having lawful permanent residency. NYC green card lawyers provide valuable guidance for immigrants who seek permanent residence in the United States. Over the past several decades, the Law Offices of Evelyn Tossas Tucker has helped many clients obtain green cards.
Naturalization
After living in the United States as a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) for five years, you can apply for legal U.S. citizenship (“naturalization”) if you meet certain requirements. If you are married to a U.S. citizen, naturalization is also possible after maintaining LPR status in the U.S. for three years.
