About Us

Our Austin immigration law firm specializes in 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.
