Immigration Attorneys

There are certain issues that are beyond the scope of ISSS. In these cases, ISSS can lend you general support and advice, but you will also need to seek the help of an attorney to properly handle your legal situation.

When to Seek the Help of an Attorney

  1. Removal Proceedings
  2. Permanent Residency not sponsored by Vanderbilt (based on marriage to a U.S. citizen, for example.)
  3. Divorce
