Immigration is not just a legal process. It affects your safety, your family, and your future. When your status is uncertain or a loved one may be at risk, you need more than general advice. You need a legal team that acts with purpose and stands ready to guide you forward with clarity and strength.
At Shamieh Law, we represent individuals and families across the United States in federal immigration matters. Our immigration division handles everything from green cards and temporary visas to detention defense and representation in immigration court. We work strategically to move cases forward while treating every client with respect, honesty, and care.
Our role is to give you clear answers, practical guidance, and strong advocacy so you can make informed decisions about what comes next.
Choosing the Right Immigration Attorney Matters
If you are searching for an immigration lawyer, you may already feel overwhelmed by the amount of information online. Policies change quickly, and advice on social media or forums is not always accurate or up to date. When the stakes are this high, having clear legal guidance can make a real difference in how your case moves forward.
Immigration law is federal, which means immigration attorneys can represent clients nationwide. Although Shamieh Law has offices in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas, our immigration team works with families and individuals across the United States because these cases are governed by federal law.
Our immigration division, led by attorney Jordan Weinberg, assists with matters including:
- Legal services for detained immigrants
- ICE detention representation
- Family-based immigration petitions
- Adjustment of status and green card applications
- Temporary visas and humanitarian protections
- Removal defense and immigration court proceedings

Immigration cases often involve strict deadlines, evolving federal policies, and decisions that can impact your status, your family, and your long-term well-being.
At Shamieh Law, we are committed to justice and providing comprehensive immigration services tailored to your individual needs. Whether your case is urgent or part of a long-term plan, our team works to protect your rights and move your matter forward with clarity and purpose.
Change and Extension of Stays
If your circumstances have changed or your authorized stay is nearing expiration, timely action is critical. We assist with requests to change or extend non-immigrant status to help you remain compliant and avoid unnecessary complications.
Citizenship and Naturalization
Becoming a U.S. citizen is a major milestone. We guide eligible permanent residents through the naturalization process, ensuring that applications are properly prepared and that you are fully ready for interviews and testing.
Consular Processing
For individuals applying for visas or immigrant status from outside the United States, consular processing can involve strict documentation and interviews abroad. We prepare and support clients through each step to reduce delays and avoid preventable issues.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
DACA provides temporary protection from removal and work authorization for certain individuals who arrived in the United States as children. We help eligible applicants apply, renew, and respond to changes affecting the program.
Deportation Defense
If you are facing removal proceedings, immediate legal guidance is essential. We develop strategic defenses and advocate aggressively to protect your ability to remain in the United States.
Detention
When a loved one is detained by immigration authorities, every moment counts. We provide legal services for detained immigrants, working to secure bond hearings, request release, and defend against removal.
Employment and H1-B Visas
Employment-based visas, including H1-B petitions, require careful documentation and employer coordination. We assist professionals and businesses in navigating the application and compliance process.
Family-Based Immigration
Family unity is at the heart of immigration law. We help U.S. citizens and permanent residents petition for qualifying family members and guide families through each required step.
Fiance and Spousal Visas
If you are seeking to bring a fiancé or spouse to the United States, accuracy and preparation are essential. We assist with petition filings and adjustment processes to help couples move forward together.
Green Cards
Lawful permanent residency allows individuals to live and work permanently in the United States. We assist with family-based, employment-based, and other green card pathways, ensuring applications are thorough and well supported.
Humanitarian and Asylum Relief
Individuals fleeing persecution or facing serious harm may qualify for asylum or other humanitarian protections. We carefully prepare these cases to present strong, evidence-based claims.
Immigration Court Representation
Appearing before an immigration judge can be overwhelming. We represent clients in immigration court proceedings, advocating clearly and confidently on their behalf.
Talent and Startup Business Visas
Entrepreneurs, investors, and individuals with extraordinary ability may qualify for specialized visa categories. We help innovators and business founders pursue available immigration options.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
TPS offers temporary protection to nationals of certain countries experiencing unsafe conditions. We assist with applications, renewals, and compliance requirements.
Temporary Visas
Temporary visas allow individuals to enter or remain in the United States for specific purposes, including study, travel, or employment. We help determine the appropriate category and manage the filing process.
Waivers
Certain immigration violations or grounds of inadmissibility may be overcome through a waiver application. We evaluate eligibility and prepare detailed submissions to support relief requests.
Resources for Immigrants
Understanding the limits of what ICE can do is important. Many people feel unsure about their rights during encounters with immigration authorities. Knowing your rights does not mean you are doing something wrong. It means you are informed.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers may question individuals, request documentation, or make arrests in certain situations. However, their authority is not unlimited. Constitutional protections apply to both citizens and noncitizens, and knowing those rights can help you navigate encounters more confidently.
At Shamieh Law, we believe accurate information matters. The resource below provides clear, practical guidance that individuals and communities can carry with them when questions arise.

Frequently Asked Questions about Immigration in the United States
How Much Does an Immigration Attorney Cost?
The cost of an immigration attorney depends on the type and complexity of the case. Some matters involve flat fees, while others may require more extensive representation, such as immigration court proceedings. During your consultation, we explain the scope of work and fees clearly so you understand your options before making a decision.
When Do I Need an Immigration Lawyer?
You should consider speaking with an immigration lawyer if you are applying for a visa, green card, citizenship, or if you are facing removal, detention, or a denied application. Immigration law is federal and often complex. Early legal guidance can help avoid mistakes that may delay or impact your case.
What Should I Know About DACA?
DACA provides temporary protection from removal and work authorization for certain individuals who came to the United States as children. Because the program has faced legal challenges, eligibility and renewal requirements may change. It is important to confirm your eligibility and file accurately.
What Should I Know About Seeking Asylum?
Asylum may be available to individuals who fear persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. These cases require detailed documentation and strict deadlines. Legal guidance can help ensure your claim is properly presented.
What Can I Do If My Loved One Is in an ICE Detention Facility?
It’s important to act quickly and seek legal guidance. An immigration attorney can request bond hearings, evaluate potential defenses to removal, and work toward release when possible. Gather identifying information, including the person’s full name and country of origin, and contact an ICE detention lawyer immediately to discuss next steps.
What Should I Do If ICE Is in My Community?
Stay calm and know your rights. You are not required to open your door without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. You have the right to remain silent and the right to speak with a lawyer. If you believe someone may be at risk, seek legal guidance promptly.
