Our Dallas Immigration Services
Every immigration story is unique. Some people want to reunite with their family, others need safety, and many are looking for work or study opportunities. Whatever your goal, our immigration lawyers in Dallas can provide comprehensive assistance every step of the way.
Green Cards
A green card lets you live and work in the United States permanently. If you’re considering becoming a lawful permanent resident, we’re here to help you lay the foundation for your new life in the United States. We can explain your eligibility and assist with applying for a green card.
Citizenship and Naturalization
Becoming a U.S. citizen is often the final step in the immigration journey, providing a sense of security and expanded rights. If you’re interested in attaining citizenship, our team can prepare your naturalization application, guide you through the interview process, and support you until the day you take the oath of allegiance.
Temporary Visas
A temporary visa allows you to come to the United States for work, study, or travel. If you’re planning a short stay, we can help you determine which visa fits your situation and prepare your application on time. We can also explain your visa’s limits and help you extend or change your status if your plans change.
Deportation Defense
Removal proceedings can threaten your future in the United States. If you or someone you love faces deportation, we’re here to advocate for your rights and fight for a chance to stay.
Detention Assistance
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may detain immigrants while their cases move through the system. Detention often happens suddenly and can separate families without warning. If this happens to you or a loved one, we can request a hearing, present evidence for your release, and represent you before the immigration judge.
H-1B Visas
The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty fields such as technology, engineering, and healthcare. If you’re pursuing an H-1B, we can prepare your petition, communicate with your employer to gather the required documentation, and file within the correct deadlines.
Fiance and Spousal Visas
Family Visas
U.S. citizens and permanent residents can petition for certain family members to join them in the United States. If you want to bring a parent, child, or sibling here, our attorneys can explain the timelines, submit the required paperwork, and advocate for your family. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated and work to avoid delays in reuniting with your loved ones.
Talent and Startup Business Visas
The United States offers special visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or for entrepreneurs investing in U.S. businesses. If you are an artist, athlete, researcher, or business owner, we can highlight your skills or investment in a way that meets government standards. Our team will organize the evidence, prepare your case for review, and guide you through interviews.
Humanitarian and Asylum Relief
Asylum offers protection to people who fear persecution in their home countries because of race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group. If you’re seeking safety in the U.S. we’re here to guide you on that journey. Our attorneys can help you prepare a strong asylum claim, including your personal statement and supporting evidence about country conditions.
Temporary Protected Status
When the U.S. government designates a country for Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, its citizens may stay here legally if it is unsafe to return because of war, natural disaster, or other extreme conditions. If you qualify, we can file your TPS application and help you seek safety here in Dallas.
DACA—Deferred Action for Early Childhood Arrival
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) offers temporary protection from deportation and the ability to work legally for certain individuals who came to the United States as children. While the program doesn’t create a direct path to permanent residency, USCIS continues to accept renewal requests. If you qualify, we can file your renewal, organize the required records, and explore other immigration options that may provide additional stability.
Changes and Extensions of Status
If your plans change while you are in the United States, you may need to extend your stay or switch to another visa category. Missing the deadline can put you at risk of deportation and harm your future immigration options. Our Dallas immigration attorneys can prepare and submit your request on time and track your case so you remain in legal status.
Immigration Court Representation
Navigating the immigration court system can be stressful and confusing without legal help. Cases often move quickly, and it’s important to have the right documents and arguments prepared. We can appear by your side at every hearing and present your case effectively before the judge.
Consular Processing
If you apply for a visa or green card from outside the United States, your case will go through the National Visa Center and a U.S. consulate. We’re here to guide you through each step of this process, no matter where you are in the world.
Waivers
U.S. immigration law bars some people from entering or staying in the country because of past immigration or criminal issues. In some cases, you can request a waiver to bypass these restrictions. Our attorneys can help you determine if you qualify for a waiver and build a strong application in your favor.
Key Laws That Might Impact Your Immigration Case
Immigration law in the United States mainly comes from the Immigration and Nationality Act, which appears in Title 8 of the U.S. Code. Several key laws commonly shape immigration cases, including:
- 8 U.S.C. § 1101: Defines key terms such as “immigrant,” “nonimmigrant,” and the different categories of visas
- 8 U.S.C. § 1182: Lists the grounds of inadmissibility, or reasons someone may be denied a visa or green card
- 8 U.S.C. § 1227: Explains the grounds of deportability, or reasons the government may try to remove someone already in the U.S.
- 8 U.S.C. § 1229a: Outlines the procedures for removal proceedings in immigration court
- 8 U.S.C. § 1427: Establishes the requirements for naturalization, including years of residency and good moral character
