Defending Your Right to Remain in the U.S. With Strategy, Compassion, and Strength

Facing deportation is one of the most stressful and uncertain experiences an immigrant can endure. At AB Legal Consult, we help clients in Suffolk, VA and the surrounding Hampton Roads area challenge removal orders, fight detention, and protect their right to stay in the United States.

Led by experienced immigration attorney Akosua Owusua Owusu-Banahene, our firm represents individuals and families in deportation proceedings before the Arlington Immigration Court, handles appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and provides fast, strategic support to clients in both detained and non-detained situations.

Experienced Legal Help for Deportation and Removal Cases

Every deportation case is different, and the right legal strategy depends on your personal background, immigration history, and the current facts of your case. AB Legal Consult offers comprehensive deportation defense for Suffolk residents, including:

Asylum & Withholding of Removal: We help individuals who fear persecution or harm in their home countries apply for protection under U.S. asylum law.
Cancellation of Removal: Whether you are a lawful permanent resident or have lived in the U.S. for many years without status, you may qualify to stay through cancellation based on hardship and time in the country.
Bond Hearings & ICE Detention Release: If your loved one is being held in Farmville Detention Center or another Virginia ICE facility, we take immediate steps to file for bond and fight for release.
Waivers of Deportability or Inadmissibility: If you’re being deported due to past immigration violations, unlawful entry, or criminal history, we help file waivers to resolve the issue and pursue relief.
Motions to Reopen or Reconsider: Missed a hearing or received a decision in error? We can file to reopen or reconsider your case and provide a second chance.
BIA Appeals: If an immigration judge has already ordered your removal, we prepare detailed legal arguments to appeal the decision before the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Our goal is to give every client in Suffolk a fighting chance to remain in the U.S. through careful strategy, honest advice, and aggressive advocacy.

I had the privilege of working with Akosua on an EB-1 visa application, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process.

From the initial consultation, Akosua demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-1 category and laid out a clear strategy that aligned perfectly with my career background.

She was meticulous in reviewing the credentials, guiding me through the documentation process, and crafting a compelling petition that showcased the qualifications in the best possible light.
What stood out most was Akosua’s attention to detail and her commitment to excellence — every letter, form, and exhibit was handled with precision.

Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she always made time to answer my questions and keep me informed. Thanks to her skill and hard work, my EB-1 petition was approved without a Request for Evidence, which speaks volumes about the strength and clarity of the case she prepared.

If you are considering an EB-1 application, I wholeheartedly recommend Akosua. Her legal acumen, work ethic, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.
