Prosecutorial Discretion and Waivers
The term “prosecutorial discretion” refers to the authority given to a government agency or officer to decide which charges to bring in a legal case. In immigration law, prosecutorial discretion is often exercised in determining where to focus immigration resources. If you are residing in the US unlawfully, you may not become the focus of prosecutorial discretion for years at a time.
If you are ever caught in government cross-hairs, you will want an experienced immigration attorney by your side. You will want the team from Rivas & Associates. We can help to establish that you are eligible for relief so that you may lawfully stay in the US.
