  changing under the presidency of Donald Trump.
  While it is true that the Trump administration
  has introduced certain changes, for the most
  part, immigration laws have remained unchanged.

About this template
Applicants inside the U.S. illegally

• If you are staying in the U.S. illegally, you may
  be allowed to re-enter the country legally after
  a specific number of months or years. Generally,
  this is the best solution for immigrants whose
  unlawful presence (illegal stay) in the U.S. is
  known to the U.S. government.
• The procedure to get legal status as a permanent
  U.S. resident is even easier for those who
  entered the country legally but had their visa
  expired during their stay. In that case, you are
  advised to speak to a family immigration lawyer.

About this template
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

• If you are a spouse, child or parent of a U.S.
  citizen or green card holder, you may qualify to
  get legal status as permanent resident under the
  Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
• Generally, individuals who get legal status
  through the VAWA are foreign wives of U.S.
  citizens or green card holders who suffer from
  domestic abuse. If you are an undocumented
  immigrant and victim of domestic violence,
  partner abuse or other criminal acts, you may
  qualify for U-1 nonimmigrant status.

About this template
Cancel deportation if youre illegally in the U.S.

• More often than not, illegal immigrants in Salt
  Lake City, Utah and elsewhere across the U.S.
  pursue legal status after a deportation order has
  already been issued. One of the most common ways
  to battle the order is to hire a Salt Lake City
  family immigration attorney to cancel your
  removal.
• However, you must be an undocumented immigrant
  who has been in the U.S. for more than 10 years
  in order to avoid being removed.
