Strategic Legal Defense When Your Future Is on the Line

Facing deportation is one of the most frightening and uncertain experiences anyone can endure. At AB Legal Consult, we provide trusted legal guidance to individuals and families in Virginia Beach and surrounding communities who are facing removal proceedings. Whether you’re detained, recently served with a Notice to Appear, or awaiting a hearing in immigration court, our team is here to fight for you with urgency, compassion, and skill.

Led by Akosua Owusua Owusu-Banahene, a seasoned immigration attorney with extensive courtroom experience, AB Legal Consult is committed to helping you understand your rights, protect your legal status, and stay united with your loved ones. We represent clients before the Arlington Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and in federal detention centers throughout Virginia.

We Handle a Full Range of Deportation and Removal Cases

Each deportation case is different. Whether you’re seeking relief based on your time in the U.S., applying for asylum, or challenging an unjust decision, we’ll build a strategy that reflects your goals and circumstances. We routinely assist clients in matters involving:

Asylum & Humanitarian Protection: We help individuals fleeing persecution present strong, credible claims for asylum, withholding of removal, or relief under the Convention Against Torture.
Cancellation of Removal: Available for certain undocumented individuals and lawful permanent residents, cancellation of removal may allow you to remain in the U.S. based on your family ties, hardship, or years of residence.
ICE Detention & Bond Hearings: We pursue bond and parole options so clients can prepare their defense outside of detention, including those held near Virginia Beach or transferred to remote facilities.
Waivers & Pardons: If past criminal charges or immigration violations threaten your case, we advocate for waivers that may cancel or reduce the grounds for removal.
Motions to Reopen or Reconsider: If your case was denied without due process or new evidence has come to light, we can help file a motion to revisit your proceedings.
Appeals to the BIA: We craft detailed appellate briefs and argue on your behalf when the immigration court has issued a removal order in error.

Every step we take is designed to protect your right to remain in the U.S. and keep your family intact.

We take the time to understand your story—where you come from, what you’ve built here, and what you stand to lose—and we fight with that in mind.

We also know the local and regional immigration landscape, including how ICE check-ins are managed and the impact of detention transfers from cities like Virginia Beach to Farmville or other ICE facilities. No matter where your case stands, we work quickly to preserve your rights and options.

Virtual Consultations Available for Detained and Non-Detained Clients

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.
