Voted as One of the Best Immigration Lawyers in Austin, TX

About Our Firm

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).

I can’t completely explain how happy Anayeli Mendez and I are today.  She was born in the Mexican state of Guanajuato and brought into the U.S. in 2000 when she was only six years old.  She grew up in our Central Texas community and is now raising her two U.S. citizen children.  I have had the privilege of representing Anayeli since 2012 when we qualified her for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program.  We’ve finally qualified her for Permanent Residency Status.  When Anayeli came over to pick up her green card, she told me she’s been crying for joy because it seems like she’s been waiting her whole life for this.  It’s an absolute pleasure to represent wonderful clients like Anayeli.  🇲🇽 🇺🇸

Back at the Mexican Consulate today for meetings with consular officials as well as immigration & criminal defense lawyer colleagues.  We discussed the potential implementation of Texas’ outrageous SB4 “show me your papers” law.  This unconstitutional law, if implemented, will lead to racial profiling and possible removal from Texas of persons with lawful immigration authorization & even many U.S. citizens.  There’s a need to inform the public about their rights & why there’s no reason to panic. I believe the federal courts will enjoin this Texas legislation.
