📄 Received a Notice to Appear? Understanding what it means is an important first step.

A Notice to Appear, often called an NTA, lists the government’s allegations and the legal grounds it intends to use in removal proceedings. The details deserve careful review because your response can affect how the case moves forward.

Keeping copies of your documents, monitoring hearing information, and keeping your address current with the immigration court are important responsibilities.

Our latest article explains what an NTA means, what to expect at the first hearing, and why legal guidance matters before responding to the allegations and charges.

Gahagan Law Firm can review your notice and help you understand your options. Contact our office to schedule a consultation.

U.S.-citizen children of immigrants can’t be deported. But…
-
Their parents are being deported. Now what?

10/16/2026

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Planning to bring your child to the United States? Understanding the immigration process is an important part of preparing for your family’s future.

The path can vary depending on whether the parent is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. A child’s age, marital status, and qualifying family relationship can also affect the visa category and timeline.

Before starting a petition, it is worth determining whether the child may already have acquired U.S. citizenship through a parent. Stepchildren and adopted children have additional requirements that families should understand before filing.

Documentation matters, too. Birth certificates, proof of the parent’s immigration status, and other family records help establish eligibility. Approval of a family petition is one step in the process, it does not automatically grant permanent residence.

Have questions about your child’s immigration options? Contact Gahagan Law Firm to schedule a consultation. 504.766.9137

Significant Federal Court Ruling:

What Happens When Detention Prevents an Immigration Application?

On October 7, a federal judge temporarily paused a DHS policy that generally stopped fingerprinting and other biometric collection for detained people with pending USCIS applications.

Without access to that process, applicants could be unable to complete a required step, putting their applications at risk of denial.

The order restores the prior biometric collection process while the lawsuit continues. It does not approve anyone’s application or require release from detention.

If detention is affecting a family member’s pending immigration application, Gahagan Law Firm can review the circumstances and explain how this ruling may apply.

The cost of filing certain EB-5 immigration forms is going up.

A final rule published September 30 sets a new fee schedule effective November 30, 2026. For investors and others preparing covered filings, that means reviewing both the required payment and the planned filing date.

We can help you understand how the change may affect your immigration plans.
