Civil Rights & Human Rights
Domestic civil rights, religious discrimination, international human rights, persecution, refugee protection, and matters that may overlap with immigration or humanitarian relief.
Family Law
Wills and estates, divorce, child custody, children’s rights, and family matters that may also affect immigration status or family-based immigration petitions.
Litigation
General civil or criminal disputes, court proceedings, dispute resolution, and litigation matters, including cases that may have immigration consequences.
Legal Entities
Incorporation, legal status, patents and trademarks, contracts, and business transactions, including entity and investment questions connected to business immigration.
Property
Real property, ownership, leasing, housing, land use, and property concerns, including housing issues affecting immigrants, refugees, and their families.

Submitting a legal or immigration inquiry
Describe Your Situation
Provide a concise description of the legal or immigration issue, your location, current status, and any known deadline or hearing date.
Initial Review
AMLA will review the inquiry to identify the relevant department, including whether the matter should be directed to an immigration professional.
Referral or Resources
When appropriate and available, AMLA may direct the inquiry to a member attorney or other legal or immigration resource.
Urgent Immigration Deadlines
Immigration matters may involve short filing deadlines, court hearings, detention, removal orders, requests for evidence, expiring status, or appeal periods. Clearly identify any deadline, hearing, detention, or scheduled government appointment in the intake form.
Submitting an inquiry to AMLA does not extend, suspend, or preserve any legal or immigration deadline. Do not delay seeking independent legal advice while waiting for a response.
