Immigration Lawyers-Plano, Texas

Dealing with matters of immigration can be stressful. Not only do you have to worry about making sure you have the right paperwork filled out and that its filed on-time, but the fear of what might happen if your request is denied. Ease the stress of this process and ensure proper paperwork filing by contacting our experienced immigration lawyers in Texas.


Obtain Immigrant Visa
The first step on the long road to becoming a US citizen is to obtain a legal immigrant visa. Some of the most common types of visas include:
  • family-based (U.S citizen or legal permanent resident sponsors a family member)
  • employment-based (employer sponsors a potential employee)
  • asylum and refugee status (immigrant fears persecution from home country and can’t return)
  • diversity lottery (winners from underrepresented countries are granted visas)
The process of obtaining an immigrant visa can be very time-consuming, but this step must be completed before any other paperwork can be started.


Adjust Residency Status
The immigrant visa is not enough to be eligible for permanent residency and U.S citizenship. Once the visa is acquired, immigrants must then apply to adjust their status to legal permanent resident. This costly application is then examined by the Department of Homeland Security for any grounds for denial.


It is advisable that at this point you obtain an experienced lawyer specializing in Texas immigration. Our Texas immigration attorneys will be able to examine your case, determine if you are eligible for residency and help you cut through all the red-tape.


Apply for Citizenship
After approximately 5 years of legal residency, immigrants are permitted to apply for citizenship. Again, this is a costly application and can be denied if the resident does not demonstrate good moral character and a basic knowledge of English, U.S. history and government.


Your lawyer will again be able to help you through the complex paperwork needed to apply for citizenship. Our Plano, Texas immigration lawyers will assist you in making sure that no mistakes hinder your application process and that you fully understand your rights and responsibilities as a U.S. citizen.
