Removal Defenses
Removal proceedings are administrative proceedings to determine the admissibility or deportability of an individual under United States immigration law. In a removal proceeding, an immigration judge conducts proceedings to decide the inadmissibility or deportability of an alien.
When the proceedings are concluded, the immigration judge shall decide whether an alien is removable from the United States. The determination of the immigration judge shall be based only on the evidence produced at the hearing.
During the proceedings, the alien has the burden of establishing that he is an applicant for admission and that he is clearly and beyond doubt entitled to be admitted and is not inadmissible under existing laws. The alien also has the burden of establishing by clear and convincing evidence that he/she is lawfully present in the United States pursuant to a prior admission.
An individual under removal proceedings may be eligible for some forms of relief from removal, including but not limited to: voluntary departure, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, asylum, withholding of removal, protection under CAT, certain waivers of removability or inadmissibility, deferred action, and other forms of prosecutorial discretion. We represent clients in Immigration Court and help them obtain relief from removal.

We came to the law office of Mary Lyn T. Sanga to petition my husband for his green card. From the beginning the staff was always friendly and helpful even... read more over the phone. This process can be nerve wrecking as it's not something you do everyday and has to do with the legal system but having them on our side, helping literally every step of the way, answering all our questions at any time of the day and providing clarity, we knew we were in great hands! We strongly recommend scheduling a consultation and having this team represent you, you won't regret it!

8/31/2022Attorney Mary has been working with our family for a REALLY long time. She has been the backbone of success throughout our immigration journey. There is no one our family... read more trusts more than her and the company she has built. Not only she is well versed with the law, she is also incredibly kind and accessible answering any questions or needs that we have. Special shout out to Jeric who has also handled our case continuing the same amazing work as Attorney Mary. Having a team of lawyers who really understands and cares about you makes alot of difference because this is not just a small case, this is our livelihood this is what allows us to live our American Dream and she helped navigate us through that.

Atty. Mary Lyn Sanga is absolutely incredible. I had a very unique immigration case and i consulted a couple of other lawyers regarding my case but none of them was... read more as brilliant as Atty. Mary who help me solved my problem. She helped me from non status to a instant US citizen. She is the real deal. Don't be fooled with over rated Immigration lawyers, they are just after your money. My endless thanks and appreciation to her.

Mary is an angel, she save my life, she is professional and caring and does not look to take over your pocket, basically she does the job in less time... read more and less money
no matter how busy she is, she always have time to listen to you.
first time I called her and asked to see her she gave me the appointment right away and gave me advise and for the first visit no matter how much I insisted to pay she refused, next time I had another issue and she followed my case and compare to other lawyers she charged me almost nothing.
I will highly recommend this law office to anyone that read this review.Kamran V.
