ReadCommon questions
Answers to what clients ask most.
If your question isn’t here, call or send a note — we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes. Consultations are one-on-one with the attorney and are used to evaluate your case, explain the options available to you, and map out the next steps.
Do you represent clients outside of Texas?
Yes. U.S. immigration law is federal, so the firm represents clients nationwide, with consultations held remotely.
How long will my case take?
It depends on the type of case and the current backlog at the court or USCIS office handling it. You will get a realistic timeline at your consultation, and updates as your case moves.
What happens if my case is denied?
A denial is not always the end. Depending on the circumstances there may be options, including appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals, motions to reopen or reconsider, or other forms of relief. We will review what applies to your situation.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Any notices you have received from USCIS or the immigration court, copies of prior filings, and identity documents for anyone included in your case. If you do not have everything, come anyway — we can work out what is missing.
Will I work directly with the attorney?
Yes. The caseload is deliberately limited so that the attorney who takes your case is the one who prepares it and sees it through.
