United States Immigration & Nationality Law
Navigating USCIS, Consular Processing & Removal Defense in Texas
Immigration law is an exclusively federal practice that touches the lives of thousands of families and businesses across Texas. Because immigration law is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and federal administrative regulations, attorneys represent clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration courts, and U.S. consulates globally.
In a state with extensive international trade and vibrant immigrant communities, immigration counsel is vital for preserving family unity and securing legal status. Legal representation encompasses family-based immigrant visa petitions, green card adjustments of status, naturalization and citizenship interviews, waivers of inadmissibility, DACA renewals, affirmative and defensive asylum petitions, and bonded removal defense in Texas detention facilities.
