Frequently asked questions about immigration in Los Angeles
Do undocumented immigrants have constitutional rights?
Yes. The U.S. Constitution protects all persons within the country, regardless of immigration status. Key rights include:
- Do not sign documents without legal advice.
- Remain silent and ask to speak with an immigration attorney.
- Request a hearing before an immigration judge (in most cases).
- Communicate with your consulate if detained.
These rights help prevent abuses and ensure due process, even if a person does not have lawful status.
What is TPS and who can apply?
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of humanitarian protection the U.S. government grants to nationals of certain countries facing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions.
In 2025, TPS remains active for countries such as El Salvador, while in others its validity is ending or subject to litigation. The situation therefore varies by country and based on court decisions.
Those who qualify may live lawfully in the U.S. for the duration of the designation and obtain work authorization.
What should I do if I receive a Notice to Appear in immigration court?
Contact an attorney immediately. Ignoring the hearing will result in an automatic removal order.
At Lluis Law we analyze your situation and design the best legal strategy for your defense.
How long does it take to get a Green Card in 2025?
Processing times depend on the category and the relevant USCIS service center. On average, family petitions often take between 12 and 24 months, although some cases may be resolved sooner or take longer.
Employment-based adjustments, asylum and other pathways may require more time. At Lluis Law we review each case to provide a personalized and up-to-date estimate.
