Deportation

If you or a family member is facing deportation proceedings, having legal representation can make the difference between staying in the country or not.

Juvenile Visas
in Dallas

Through Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), we help minors in Dallas who have been abandoned, abused or neglected by one or both parents obtain legal protection and, eventually, permanent residency. This process requires an order from a state family court before filing the application with immigration; we guide you through both parts of the process.

If you are an American citizen in Dallas and your fiancé(e) lives abroad, the K-1 visa allows you to bring them to the United States to get married within the first 90 days of their arrival. We help you prepare the petition, gather the evidence of the relationship, and understand the next steps once your fiancé(e) is in the country.
