Our Austin immigration law firm specializes on representing U.S. citizens seeking permanent resident status for their spouses, parents, and children and on seeking U.S. citizenship (naturalization) for people who already hold green cards. We often handle cases to remove two year “conditional” limits from green cards obtained through marriage. We frequently represent applicants who need to renew or replace expiring, lost, or stolen green cards. Other family sponsored matters we handle include adjustment of status, consular processing for relatives needing green card interviews at U.S. consulates abroad, K-1 fiancée visas, and reentry permits for green card holders needing to temporarily reside/work overseas. We obtain temporary work permits (“EADs”) and travel permits (“advance paroles”) for our adjustment of status clients. We also represent many DACA recipients to seek renewals.
At this time our firm is not handling visitor, student, H-1B, H-2, E-1, E-2 treaty investor/trader visas, EB-5 immigrant investor cases, L-1, O-1 nonimmigrant visas, asylum, or removal (deportation) defense.

Citizenship
-Most people become U.S. citizens by: Birth within the United States, birth abroad to a U.S. citizen parent, or naturalization within the U.S. after first having immigrated. Additionally, any child under the age of 18 with green card status who is residing in the custody of a biological parent who is a U.S. citizen will also acquire U.S. citizenship due to the Child Citizenship Act (CCA) passed by Congress in 2000. A person may be eligible for naturalization if he/she has resided in the United States for at least 5 years as a permanent resident (or 3 years if married to and living with a U.S. citizen spouse).

This is why I still love being an immigration lawyer despite all the new obstacles. This morning I was in an office building downtown when this nice former client recognized me and shook my hand. Leo Salinas reminded me that 20 years ago I handled his immigration case and later represented him to attain U.S. citizenship. Leo is a native of Colombia. He now employees over 10 U.S. workers in his restoration business. He and his team were working on a remodeling job in this commercial building. Industrious immigrants and naturalized citizens like Leo continue to improve communities nationwide.

Imagine 26 years of uncertainty. I just got to hand our client, Maria Mendez, her green card. “Mari” was born in Guanajuato, Mexico. Her parents brought her to the U.S. when she was only 4 years old. She recently turned 30 and is the proud mother of her 2 year old U.S. citizen son. We’re elated that Mari is finally free to travel and visit relatives in Mexico. THIS is why I love being an immigration lawyer.
