IMMIGRATION LAWYER IN AUSTIN
If you’re in Texas, you may want to talk to an immigration lawyer in Austin who can help if you are in any of these situations:
- Interested in petitioning U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a visa, green card or citizenship
- In need of representation in Immigration Court
- Fighting a denial of immigration benefits
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is incredibly complex. Navigating the forms, documentation, interviews, and other aspects of your case can be exceptionally difficult.
Immigration Basics
When you want to come to the U.S., either temporarily or permanently, you must fit into an eligibility category that USCIS and the U.S. Department of State recognizes. If you do, you must submit an application for review.
The approval process can take a significant amount of time, and often, if there are mistakes on your paperwork, you must wait even longer for a decision. The Immigration and Nationality Act outlines who can – and who cannot – come to the U.S. for travel or as an immigrant.
Many people choose to work with an immigration lawyer in Austin because an attorney will fill out the appropriate forms and file them with the right agencies.

Nanthaveth & Associates - Immigration Lawyer - Austin, Texas
Our practice areas include but are not limited to:
Austin Family Immigration Lawyer
Family immigration – the process of bringing your family members (immediate or otherwise) to the United States – can be complicated.
Whether you’re a U.S. citizen, a green card holder or someone who’s interested in immigrating here, you may benefit from an Austin immigration lawyer’s advice and experience.
Business Immigration Lawyer
When companies want to hire foreign workers, they must meet very stringent criteria. The workers they’d like to sponsor for immigration to the U.S. must also meet certain criteria, and they must fall into specific visa categories. An immigration attorney can help your company determine the best way to proceed if you’re interested in hiring foreign workers to fill jobs you can’t otherwise fill with American workers.
Green Card Lawyer in Austin
Becoming a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) comes with many rights and benefits. It’s also a crucial step on the path towards naturalization (becoming a U.S. citizen). Green cards almost always begin with an immigrant visa petition. Immigrant visa petitions are significantly more likely to be approved by USCIS officers if completed with guidance from an experienced immigration lawyer.
Austin Immigration Appeals Lawyer
Unfortunately, USCIS sometimes denies some people immigration benefits. However, if you have received a denial notice from USCIS, you could be eligible to file an appeal or open a motion to reconsider the decision. Not everyone qualifies to file an appeal, but if you do, Nathaveth & Associates will be your greatest advocate.
Citizenship and Naturalization
Our immigration lawyers in Austin have extensive experience guiding clients through the naturalization process to accomplish their dream of U.S. citizenship. At Nanthaveth & Associates, our individualized services ensure that you have someone with legal expertise and extensive knowledge of immigration law to explain the process, fill out and submit necessary forms, and prepare you for every step of the journey.
K-1 Fiancé Visa Lawyer in Austin
U.S. citizens engaged to be married to foreign nationals are allowed to petition the federal government for a temporary visa allowing their future spouse to join them in the United States for the marriage ceremony.
While this visa is temporary, the marriage itself opens the door for an immigrant visa.
Our legal team knows the ins and outs of temporary visas like the K-1 visa and will take the stress out of the petitioning process.
Then, after the ceremony, our law firm can streamline your immigrant visa petitioning process so you can focus on building your life together.
Austin Student Visa Lawyer
If you’re interested in studying in the United States, our experienced immigration lawyer in Austin is available to assist you with your F-1 student visa petitions. Our team can also help you if you are already in the country on an F-1 visa but wish to apply for a change of legal status because your circumstances have changed. Perhaps you’ve met the love of your life or have a permanent job offer from your dream employer. Students have a lot to think about. Our skilled immigration lawyer in Austin can relieve the stress that comes with satisfying student visa requirements and maneuvering towards a more stable visa if the time comes.
Adjustment of Status
If you are already living in the United States legally and need help obtaining lawful permanent resident status, our attorneys can guide you through the process. Whether you're in the country legally and petitioning for an immigrant visa or in the country legally on a U visa, T visa, or another legal status, when it’s time to adjust your status so you can attain your green card, our immigration lawyers in Austin can help.
Consular Processing
Consular processing is the method used to get a green card when living outside of the United States. If you would like to petition for the immigrant visa of a loved one or employee living outside the United States, they will need to use consular processing, and you will need help from an immigration attorney to ensure that their green card is approved. Nanthaveth & Associates can help.
