Immigration Attorney in Texas

Immigration Lawyers in Dallas, Texas

“Immigration law” refers to laws dealing with the immigration of individuals into the United States as well as deportation from the country.

America is as popular an immigration destination today as it has ever been. The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) estimated that 10.35 million undocumented immigrants and 8.1 million immigrants eligible to naturalize resided in the United States in 2019. People categorized as part of the eligible-to-naturalize population were lawful permanent residents (LPRs), i.e., green card holders, who had resided in the United States for five years or more, had served in the US military, or were married to a US citizen.

The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) published that more than 44.9 million immigrants lived in the USA in 2019. This number represents an all-time high since the establishment of the United States Census.

In addition, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) receives approximately six million green card applications every year. About one million people receive a green card each year. Yes, people are still chasing the American dream.

SATISFIED CLIENTS

“Best immigration law firm in Texas. They are very honest, and they really care to help people with their Immigration needs. They go on and beyond to make sure you fully understand your process. Best Attorneys and staff! Highly recommended.everything in depth. So glad I chose Andrew Thomas.”

Evalyn Rojas, Houston

“They gave us tremendous support when we really needed it. They helped my wife and I throughout the entire process and she came home with her green card. These guys are great and up front, which I like the most. My wife said she was amazed at their knowledge of the most current immigration laws. We would both recommend them to anyone needing help or or advise because this is a very confusing process.”

Robert Saucedo , Dallas

“If you need to file any immigration applications, I for sure recommend them. I believe they have more experience than other large firms in Dallas. The way they break the processes down makes it so easy, you don’t have to know anything about it. Just simply follow the steps which are outlined and well organized. Also, the paralegals at the firm kept me informed during the entire process. Even calling me back or stopping to talk to me, if I dropped by for a payment. Again, I believe their immigration system is the best in Dallas, especially the way they break the process down. 5 Stars!!”

Yamile Bernal , Dallas

“This is a top notch immigration law firm, they were such a blessing to me. They helped me to get my permanent residence after divorce when my ex wanted to null the marriage. Very good people who know the immigration law very well. 2 thumbs up!”

Jacinta Sorta , Dallas

Immigration FAQs

What's the Easiest Way to Immigrate to the USA?
If you are the spouse of a US citizen, this is the quickest and easiest way to immigrate to the US. You would be classified as an immediate relative. Other immediate relatives include parents of US citizens and unmarried minor children of US citizens. Unlike some other categories of visas, there is no limit on visas issued annually for immediate relatives.
How Much Does it Cost to Immigrate to the USA?
This depends on who you use and how complex your case is, so it's impossible to give an exact amount. The amount can vary from $4,000 to $11,300, including all payments when acquiring citizenship. The average amount seems to be between $6,000 and $8,000.
What are the Four Main Types of Immigration?
The four main categories of immigration status are:
  • US Citizens.
  • Non-immigrants.
  • Permanent residents, also known as conditional residents.
  • Undocumented immigrants.
Can I Get a Green Card in the USA Without Getting Married?
The short answer for this is yes.Here is a summary of other ways in which you can become a US citizen:
  1. Employer sponsorship.
  2. Investor in the United States.
  3. Membership of particular groups who have shown their service to the world.
  4. Green card lottery winner.
What are the Main Challenges Immigrants face?
Immigration law is complex, and immigration can be a stressful process. We are sensitive to the reality and the challenges that immigrants face. The most common challenges they face are:
  • Job search - Finding work can be challenging.
  • Communication - English is often not the immigrants' mother tongue, so they must master a new language while facing all the other challenges.
  • Housing - shelter for the whole family in an area suitable for the family can be challenging, especially on a very tight budget.
  • Differences in culture - it takes time to adapt to a new culture and effort to retain your own culture simultaneously. Immigrants face this daily.
  • Access to a social network - in the absence of a social network, it is more challenging to get on your feet.
  • Transportation Issues - vehicles are expensive, and distance can be vast, adding to the expense of going anywhere.
  • Medical Services - medical services are costly and often consuming. In addition, health and emergency issues can be highly challenging to immigrants.
  • Raising Children - Without a solid communal foundation, raising children is challenging.
  • Prejudice - unfortunately, some immigrants can be exposed to discrimination.
