Voted as One of the Best Immigration Lawyers in Austin, TX

About Our Firm

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.  

Our Practice Areas

We want to help YOU with your immigration needs.

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).

Nonstop pro bono consultations this morning. Sadly, aspiring immigrants & their families are fearful of possible deportations. Trying to quell fears & encourage people to keep children in school & appear for medical appointments. Our overly restrictive immigration laws afford nonexistent or very limited relief.

What does “Nonstop pro bono consultations means ?

That is incredibly generous of you! Thank you for your leadership in this moment!

Good luck. If we can do anything to help support you and your clients please ask

You’re the best!

Thank you, Paul. I am so very sorry this is happening to so many good people. I lived on the border during his first reign of terror and saw people’s lives torn apart. It makes me sick. 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼

Imparable, felicitaciones!!!

It's like a never – ending drama, isn't it? But hey, thanks for being the superhero trying to save the day and calm everyone down! Those laws need a serious reality check.

❤️🙏

Thank you, Mr. Parsons!

Third & final day of the State Bar of Texas 23rd annual immigration law conference. Glad to reunite with longtime colleagues & to meet newer lawyers. We’re sharing knowledge & collaborating to help eligible applicants qualify for citizenship, permanent residency, or humanitarian benefits. So much fear & anxiety in the wake of the new administration’s executive orders & proclamations.Image attachmentImage attachment+1Image attachment

It's been too long since I saw my friends in the TX chapter of AILA.

La unión hace la fuerza!!! Sigan adelante!!!!

This meeting is so meaningful. It gives everyone reassurance at this time and I hope it can help more people.

Ready for my opening presentation at the State Bar’s 23rd annual 3 day immigration law conference.  Looking forward to sharing & learning from colleagues about how to best defend & advocate for foreign nationals & their families during these most challenging times.

So sorry to miss this year- we are headed to Costa Rica!

We now you are going to do a FANTASTIC job

You look very professional.

Keep up the good work!!

Good Luck Paul. Keep forging ahead to preserve and protect immigration law and rights afforded by the constitution. My great great grandparents were immigrants in the 1850’s, having fled illegal military conscription in Europe.

The best lawyer 😊

Thank you for your work and knowledge!

Mr. Parsons, your continued professional update is part of your great values.

Good luck!

I am really looking forward to your sharing. In such a difficult time, your experience can help many people!

You must be a just lawyer

What a topic!
