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.

Green Card Status
We represent spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens (over age 21) seeking immigrant (“green card”) status for relatives.

We seek temporary work permits (“EADs”) & temporary foreign travel permits (“Advance Paroles”) as part as their relatives green card cases.
DACA
We are representing DACA holders who need to seek another two year work permit (“EAD”) to renew that status.
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).

Most spouses of U.S. citizens, parents of U.S. citizens (over 21), and unmarried children (under 21) of U.S. citizens with adjustment of status applications are NOT being arrested. But this article explains that ICE has gone way overboard with arrests of countless foreign nationals (at airports) who have solid applications for green cards pending that the Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) hasn't yet taken time to process. Many are spouses and parents of U.S. citizens who lawfully arrived with U.S. visas. They are aspiring immigrants who have never been accused of or arrested for any crime. The fear in communities nationwide is intense. Outrageous!

One of the greatest joys of an immigration lawyer is to be able to qualify a client like Guillermo for permanent resident (“green card”) status. Guillermo was born & raised in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. For over 25 years he & his wife have been raising their 4 children in the U.S, working hard to support their family, & paying their taxes. Due to our daunting immigration laws, Guillermo could not leave to visit relatives who continue residing in Mexico. Today I got to hand Guillermo his newly approved green card. He will finally be able to visit a brother he hasn’t been able to see in all this time & to meet for the first time 3 nieces & nephews! It brings me great satisfaction when we obtain a green card status for a hard-working immigrant like Guillermo. 🇲🇽 🇺🇸
