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.

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).

Just when we think the Trump administration can’t make things worse for aspiring immigrants & future citizens, they do exactly that with their anti-immigrant memo issued last Friday. I’ve been working here in the office on Saturday, Sunday & this Memorial Day holiday collaborating with colleagues around the country & helping clients remain calm. I could just gnash my teeth but I choose to continue advocating for our clients & their families.

Once again thank you Paul! for everything you do.. and have done for my family 😎 🙌🏽🙏🏽
We’re going to keep filing! Just with more evidence
With the new rule, does that potentially mean that someone who entered legally but overstayed their visa has to leave to apply for residency, and could then face a 10 year bar from returning? This could be very bad for many people.
I’ve been thinking of you. One of our unsung heroes.
The press release greatly overstated what's actually in the memo and that was likely by design to create a chilling affect on AOS applications.
Great work, Paul!!!
Keep fighting for these people. They are up against the worst policies this country has ever seen.
Thanks Paul and the other folks out there fighting back at every step

Thank goodness for you and your colleagues. I keep telling myself this too shall pass, but sometimes it is hard to believe there will be any relief. I appreciate your work and dedication.

This is such a horrible situation. I can’t wait until this administration changes. Thank you Paul for your dedication to the people who need your help.
Due to the Administration’s continual attacks on lawful immigration procedures, these are especially stressful times for aspiring immigrants, their families, & their lawyers. Just now it was uplifting to hand Ana & her husband, Max, her green card. She was born and raised in Costa Rica and hopes to apply for U.S. citizenship when eligible in a few more years. Our country is fortunate to welcome new immigrants & future citizens like Ana. 🇨🇷 🇺🇸
