All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Applying for Asylum from California

Asylum is governed by federal law but cases are heard in the immigration court closest to where the applicant lives. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other California immigration courts. Adelanto, Imperial, Otay Mesa detention facilities handle detained cases.

Cancellation of Removal in California

California immigrants in removal proceedings may qualify for cancellation of removal — relief that allows long-term residents (LPRs and certain non-LPRs) to avoid deportation and obtain green cards.

U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization from California

Naturalization is governed by federal immigration law. California applicants attend interviews at the local USCIS field office. Multiple field offices: LA, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Santa Ana, Sacramento, Fresno.

DACA + Dreamers in California

California DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) provides 2-year deferred action + work authorization for eligible Dreamers — but program faces ongoing legal challenges + limited to current recipients (no new applicants since 2021).

Deportation Defense in California

Deportation ("removal") proceedings are governed by federal law, but the immigration court that hears your case is determined by where you live or are detained. Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego ERO Field Offices; major detention at Adelanto, Mesa Verde, Otay Mesa, Imperial.

EB-5 Investor Visa in California

California EB-5 investor visa requires $1.05M (or $800K in TEA) investment creating 10 full-time U.S. jobs — direct investment or through Regional Center. Reauthorized in 2022 with new integrity rules.

Employment-Based Green Cards in California

California employment-based green cards (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) require employer sponsorship via PERM labor certification + immigrant petition + adjustment of status — country-specific backlogs significant.

F-1 Student Visa in California

California F-1 international students must maintain full-time enrollment, limit work to specific exceptions (CPT/OPT), keep I-20 valid, and apply for OPT before graduation for legal work authorization.

Green Card Process from California

Green-card (lawful permanent resident) processing is governed by federal immigration law, but applicants in California are interviewed at the local USCIS Field Office. Multiple field offices: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Sacramento, Fresno.

H-1B Specialty-Occupation Visa in California

California employers + foreign workers use H-1B visas for specialty occupations — capped at 85,000/year, lottery-allocated, valid 3+3 years, with path to green card via PERM.

K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa in California

California K-1 fiancé(e) visa allows foreign fiancé to enter US for 90 days to marry US citizen — must marry within 90 days, then apply for adjustment of status to green card.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in California

California immigrants from designated countries can apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) — temporary protection from removal + work authorization, but program subject to ongoing political + legal challenges.
