Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration in Austin, TX
Can you help me even if I’m not in Texas?
Absolutely. We represent clients nationwide and internationally. Immigration law is federal, so your location doesn’t limit our ability to help.
How much do immigration services cost in Austin, TX?
Legal fees vary based on case complexity, required services, and time investment. We offer flexible payment plans (up to 6 months) and transparent pricing. During your free consultation, we'll provide a clear fee estimate with no hidden costs.
Do I really need an immigration lawyer in Austin, or can I do this myself?
While some people successfully navigate immigration processes on their own, many applications are denied due to incomplete paperwork, missed deadlines, insufficient documentation, or failure to address complex issues. An experienced Austin immigration attorney can significantly increase your chances of approval and save you months or years of delays.
How long does the immigration process take?
Timelines vary significantly by visa category and individual circumstances. H-1B petitions typically take 3 to 8 months, while family-based green cards can take 12 months to several years, depending on the relationship and the country of origin. During your consultation, we'll provide realistic timelines specific to your situation.
Can my family come with me?
Most employment and business visas allow spouses and unmarried children under 21 to accompany you as dependents. In many cases, spouses also receive work authorization, making the transition easier for your entire family.
What if my application is denied?
Denials aren't necessarily the end of your immigration journey. Depending on the circumstances, we can appeal the decision, file motions to reconsider, or develop alternative strategies. Our experience helps us anticipate and avoid common reasons for denial before they derail your case.
