📍 Mario Godoy shares practical tips before you go:
✅ Arrive early.
✅ Be prepared for security screening.
✅ If you're attending immigration court, let staff know when you arrive.
✅ Don't face your immigration case alone.
Whether you're preparing for a Green Card interview, U.S. citizenship interview, or another USCIS appointment, preparation matters.

🚨 Received a Notice to Appear (NTA)? Don't assume the worst.
Many people panic when they receive an NTA from immigration court. The document is serious—but it's important to understand what it means.
A Notice to Appear is the beginning of removal proceedings. It is NOT a deportation order.
Receiving an NTA means the government has started a legal process. It does not mean the outcome has already been decided.
Depending on your circumstances, legal options may be available, including:
✔️ Cancellation of Removal
✔️ Asylum
✔️ Adjustment of Status
✔️ Voluntary Departure
✔️ Other forms of immigration relief
The most important thing you can do is seek legal guidance as soon as possible. Timing matters, and so does having a strong legal strategy.
At Godoy Law Office, we have helped thousands of immigrants and families navigate removal proceedings and explore their legal options.
📞 Call us today at 312-447-3067 for an immigration evaluation.
💬 Have you or someone you know ever received an NTA and wondered what to do next?

Most immigration attorneys know how to file forms.
But understanding what happens after a case reaches USCIS can make a significant difference.

At Godoy Law Office, our team includes former USCIS employees who have reviewed applications, conducted interviews, and evaluated immigration cases from the inside.

That experience helps us understand:
✔️ What immigration officers look for
✔️ Common reasons cases are delayed
✔️ How evidence is evaluated
✔️ What can strengthen—or weaken—an application

When we prepare a case, we draw on real-world experience from both sides of the immigration process.

If you're applying for a Green Card, Citizenship, Adjustment of Status, or another immigration benefit, having a team that understands the USCIS review process matters.

📞 Call us today at 312-447-3067 for an immigration evaluation.

✅ When an asylum case may belong with USCIS instead of Immigration Court
✅ How some minors may qualify for a Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) Visa
✅ Why the right legal strategy can sometimes lead to a case being closed

Every immigration journey is different. The key is understanding all the options available before making a decision.
