Immigration Law in 2026 — Why You Need an Attorney Now

Federal immigration enforcement has intensified significantly in 2026. If you or a family member has any concerns about immigration status, do not wait. The consequences of inaction — deportation, family separation, loss of work authorization — are too severe. Clifford Chigbu will give you an honest assessment of your situation and your options.

Family-Based Immigration

U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition for certain family members to immigrate. The process involves I-130 petitions, priority dates, consular processing or adjustment of status, and extensive documentation. Clifford handles every step of the process.

DACA — Act Now

DACA renewals are currently being accepted, but processing times average 8–12 months. If your DACA is expiring within the next year, file your renewal immediately. Clifford also helps DACA recipients explore alternative pathways to lawful permanent residence where available.

Deportation Defense

If you or a family member has received a Notice to Appear (NTA) or is in removal proceedings, you need experienced legal representation immediately. Clifford Chigbu appears in immigration court and fights for cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, and other forms of relief.
