  Currently, as of this date, 20th of March, the immigration courts are shut down. What we’re seeing are all the hearings that were going to be occurring in person are being pushed off. What does that mean for your particular case? In short, it depends..

• Immigration Enforcement Effected By Covid-19

  By Staff, March 24th, 2020

  One of the concerns that we have here is there is a lot of inaccurate information being circulated, and potentially damaging inaccurate information. One of those rumors that seems to be spreading is that there is a stepped up effort at Immigration Enforcement, including ICE raids. And what I want to say about that is that, first and foremost, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence at all that that’s occurring anywhere in the United States, and it is certainly not happening in the state of Oklahoma right now.

• Seeking Legal Immigration Status When Already In The U.S.

  By Staff, February 10th, 2020

  I am Immigration Attorney Ted Hasse I work at Wirth Law Office, and I am here to answer your immigration questions. I want to talk about how folks can go from an undocumented status to getting legal status in the United States when they’re already in the United States. With regard to this issue, we get a lot of calls about this, folks trying to straighten out their status, and something I find frequently is that they sort of have partial information. They know that as a general rule, if you are here illegally, if you have an undocumented status, it is almost certain that you’re going to have to leave the United States, go to a consulate or embassy in your home country, and seek to get readmitted. But there are exceptions to that..

  By Staff, February 7th, 2020

  You’ve got a family member, loved one or a friend who is being detained by ICE in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. What do you do next? I am Immigration Attorney Ted Hasse and I work at Wirth Law Office. I’m happy to take your immigration questions. Give us a call at (918) 932-2800. The big problem is is that unlike most other facilities, the folks who are answering the phone for ICE in Okmulgee where quite a few people who are being detained these days, they’re not answering questions for family members. We are trying to provide a very low cost option to get somebody down there at the facility, talking to the individual who’s being detained to find out what’s going on, get them signed on in a way that we can get more information from ICE and find out what needs to happen next.

• Immigration Law Question: Am I Allowed To Sponsor My Spouse?

  By Staff, February 6th, 2020

  Immigration Attorney Ted Hasse answers a popular question asked often. An Individual was wanting to sponsor a spouse who needs to straighten out their immigration status. Question she had was that she, in fact, had a criminal conviction and then a warrant in another state. And first question she had is she wanted to know if that was going to impact her ability to sponsor her spouse. And a second question she had was in relation to social security benefits that she was collecting, whether sponsoring somebody would somehow impact your benefits. The short answer is no. It doesn’t matter if you are in a situation where you have prior convictions or even have an outstanding warrant. If you’re seeking to go ahead and sponsor somebody, sponsor a spouse for example, that’s just not something that the US CIS looks at, so it does make a difference.

• What Happens If You Lose Your “Green Card”?

  By Staff, February 5th, 2020

  You’ve lost your green card. What do you do now? My name is Ted Hasse. I’m an attorney at Wirth Law Office answering your immigration questions. Lost physical green card, that’s a question that I got from an individual this week. Bad news on this is that the process for replacing a lost physical green card, the card that you carry around that shows that you have a lawful permit status, it’s expensive, and it’s in fact the same process that you need to go to when you’re going through a renewal. Maybe something that you’ve dealt with before. The US CIS fee is $540. It can take some time. It’s a bummer when it happens. If you haven’t lost your card, hold onto it. Keep it safe.

  By Staff, February 3rd, 2020
