Immigration Law and ICE Detention
Immigration matters can affect your family, freedom, employment, and plans for the future. Barchiesi Law PLLC helps individuals and families understand their circumstances, identify urgent concerns, and evaluate legal options that may be available.
Whether you are seeking immigration relief, facing immigration-court proceedings, or trying to help someone detained by ICE, you can begin by choosing the questionnaire that best matches the situation—even if you do not know every answer.
Philadelphia-based. Immigration representation in federal proceedings and matters throughout the United States.
IMMIGRATION SERVICES
How Barchiesi Law May Help
Every immigration matter depends on its facts, procedural posture, immigration history, deadlines, and applicable law. A consultation can help separate questions about lawful status, protection from removal, work authorization, custody and release, and appellate review.
Immigration-Court Proceedings
Representation and guidance for removal proceedings, master-calendar hearings, individual hearings, filing requirements, court notices, and other matters before the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
ICE Detention and Immigration Bond
Review of detention circumstances, asserted custody authority, immigration history, possible bond eligibility, bond-hearing issues, court status, and potential avenues for release or relief.
Family-Based Immigration
Evaluation of family petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, visa availability, manner of entry, inadmissibility, waivers, and other issues affecting a possible family-based pathway.
Appeals and Motions
Review of immigration decisions and potential next steps, including appeals and motions to reopen or reconsider. Strict filing and review deadlines may apply.
Other Immigration Pathways
Fact-specific screening for adjustment, consular processing, cancellation, humanitarian classifications, waivers, prior orders, and other forms of relief or protection that may warrant evaluation.
START WITH THE RIGHT QUESTIONNAIRE
Choose the form that best matches the situation.
You do not need to understand every immigration form or legal term before requesting help. Provide the information you know, use an approximate date when necessary, and say that you are unsure instead of guessing.

FORM 1 Open the Immigration Consultation Request For general immigration matters and non-detention consultations
Complete this form to provide preliminary information about an immigration matter. The firm may contact you to request clarification, discuss consultation availability, or explain a possible next step in the intake process.
Provide sensitive identifying information only when a field in this questionnaire specifically requests it. Do not include passwords, financial-account details, payment-card information, or original documents.
FORM 2 Open the ICE Detention & Bond Questionnaire For a person detained by ICE or detention-centered concerns
A family member or trusted person may submit available information when the detained person cannot complete the questionnaire. Do not delay requesting help merely because every document or answer is unavailable.
If a hearing, filing deadline, transfer, removal, or other urgent event is approaching, call the firm promptly rather than relying only on the form.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Submitting information is only the beginning of the intake process.
Submitting a questionnaire or contacting Barchiesi Law does not mean that the firm has accepted the matter. Representation begins only after the firm agrees to accept the case and a written engagement agreement is completed.
Every matter is fact-specific. An intake submission or preliminary evaluation does not guarantee bond eligibility, release, immigration status, relief from removal, or any particular result.
Provide sensitive identifying information only when the questionnaire specifically requests it. Do not include passwords, financial-account details, payment-card information, original documents, or information the questionnaire does not request. Review the firm’s Privacy Policy before submitting.
