Don’t hesitate to call our office at (915) 543-9100.

A Full Range of Immigration Services
Citizenship & Naturalization
Becoming a U.S. citizen is one of the most significant milestones in a person’s life. We guide eligible lawful permanent residents through every step of the naturalization process, from preparing and filing your N-400 application to preparing you for your interview. We also advise on derivative citizenship, citizenship by birth abroad, and Certificate of Citizenship applications.
Green Cards & Adjustments of Status
Whether you are applying through a family member or a U.S. employer, obtaining a green card is a multi-step process that requires precision. We handle family-based and employment-based adjustment of status applications, including Extraordinary Ability Petitions, National Interest Waivers, and Intracompany Transferees.
TN Visas
The TN visa is a nonimmigrant work visa that allows qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the U.S. in certain professional occupations. Unlike some other work visas, the TN process is relatively streamlined, but it is limited to specific professions and does not directly lead to permanent residency.
Employment-Based Immigration
We counsel both employers and foreign national employees through the full employment-based immigration process. This includes I-140 immigrant petitions, priority date tracking, and transitions between visa categories. We also advise companies on I-9 compliance, E-Verify enrollment, and immigration policy development.
Extraordinary Ability
For clients who have risen to the top of their field in the arts, sciences, business, athletics, or entertainment, an extraordinary ability petition may provide the fastest path to permanent residence or authorized work status. We have successfully represented musicians, performers, athletes, researchers, and executives in these highly competitive petitions.
Deportation & Removal Defense
Receiving a Notice to Appear in immigration court is frightening. That’s why we provide experienced, aggressive representation at all stages of removal proceedings, including appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). If you or a loved one is facing deportation, time is critical. Contact us immediately.
Consular Processing
For applicants outside the United States, we assist with immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applications through U.S. consulates and embassies worldwide. Let our experts prepare your documentation, anticipate potential issues, and work to secure a successful visa interview outcome.
Waivers
Certain grounds of inadmissibility, including unlawful presence, prior removal, or certain criminal history, can bar entry to the United States. We evaluate your eligibility and prepare waivers, including the I-601, I-601A provisional unlawful presence waiver, and I-212 permission to reapply for admission.
The Immigration Process: What to Expect
Immigration cases rarely follow a straight line. Processing times shift, requests for additional evidence arrive unexpectedly, and policy changes can affect pending cases overnight. Here’s what you can count on from us:
- Honest Assessment: We tell you what we genuinely believe about your case from the start. No false promises, no inflated expectations.
- Clear Communication: We keep you informed at every stage and are accessible when you have questions. You will never feel left in the dark.
- Thorough Preparation: Every petition, application, and filing that leaves our office is reviewed carefully for accuracy and completeness before submission.
- Responsive Advocacy: If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence or your case takes an unexpected turn, we respond quickly and strategically.
