This past weekend, US President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order banning citizens of Libya, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Somalia from entering the US for at least the next 90 days, as well as suspending all refugee admission for at least the next 120 days. The broad scope of this Order encompassed all nationals of these countries, including green card holders from one of the seven banned countries, and dual citizens from one of the seven banned countries. Official statements from the US Department of State and the contradictory actions of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have evidenced the confusion that still exists regarding the intentions expressed by this Order. While the Executive Order applies to green card holders on its face and green card holders have been subject to secondary examination and in some cases detention at ports of entry, the official stated policy of the US Department of Homeland Security is that green card holders are to be exempt from this ban. In a similar contradictory fashion, Canadian Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Ahmed stated on a press conference this Sunday that Canadian citizens and permanent residents were also to be exempt from the ban, but no corroborating statement has been provided by any US government authority and CBP officers have thus far been willing to delay or detain Canadian citizens holding dual citizenship in a country subject to the ban. At this time, it is not clear how this ban will be enforced moving forward, or whether it will be found to be valid in law. Its constitutionality has already been challenged numerous times, and many of these challenges have been successful in US Federal Court. Our law firm will continue to monitor this rapidly developing situation as it develops and we will endeavour to provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.

Neha K Borders Law firm - Devika OMG where do I start from.... so I got her number from my CA who I have been getting my taxes filed from last ten years. I was not sure what will happen to my mom's files becuase I had already tried four times before and everytime there was something or the other that happened and my application was not accepted... Devika has been my good luck, an angel in my life and a miracle believe it or not. I wish I could give you the details about why it was so so so important for my mom to get this immigration but unfortunately I can't share my personal details but I can tell you all one thing, that Devika and her team not only helped me with my mom's immigration case but also helped me with her super visa extension and all other obstacles we faced. I had no idea that my file can get approved so fast. Today I feel like my dream of having my mom here permanently came true all because of Devika.She is very knowledgeable, super patient, went out of her way to do, spent extra hours assisting me and completing this file. Always understood and heard my issues, with patience. I don't know how many times I cried with her and she always gave me hope and strength to be patient and wait for the approval. Honestly I am very impressed how she adds human touch to her immigration cases and treats the families with so much love and always been very professional as well. Devika is the best, she has an awesome awesome team. I can go on and on and on about her. I always suggest my friends her name and tell them about her services.It feels so good when I give her number to people in need of a good immigration lawyer, because in my heart I know that Devika will be able to help them with their immigration very well.She is the best Thank you Devika for being a great lawyer,a great human being and an angel in my life.

Jehiel Cabrera If you need a Immigration Law Firm that you can trust, Borders Law Firm is for you. We retained Devika and her team to work on a misrepresentation case. We asked them to help us in a very short period of time (less than a week) but they did an impeccable, impeccable job. They were willing to work and reply to our questions early and off hours and show their dedication to help out. In 2 weeks, we were able to get our work permit. Immigration issues are scary and its easy to feel hopeless but with the right people and resources, there will be a solution. I strongly recommend Devika, she showed a lot of care, very professional, very technical and very smart. You will not regret hiring her, her work is worth it, more than priceless! Special thanks to Hillen, for going above and beyond, making sure that our response letter is accurate and flawless.
