Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Riverside immigration interviews take place?

USCIS interviews and biometrics for Riverside County residents happen at the USCIS San Bernardino Field Office at 655 W Rialto Avenue. Asylum interviews route through the Los Angeles Asylum Office. Removal cases go to Adelanto or Los Angeles Immigration Court.

How does deportation defense work in California?

Removal cases are heard by EOIR immigration courts, not USCIS. An attorney files defensive applications like asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status. Bond hearings can also secure release from ICE detention while the case proceeds.

What’s the difference between asylum and a U-visa?

Asylum protects people fleeing persecution based on protected grounds like race, religion, or political opinion. U-visas help victims of certain crimes who cooperate with law enforcement. Different evidence standards apply to each, so case selection matters.
