Cedar Park, TX Immigration Attorneys

Working With a Cedar Park, TX Immigration Lawyer

A Cedar Park immigration lawyer can help you with several immigration-related issues, including:

• Residency and citizenship
• Family immigration
• Business immigration
• Immigration appeals

Residency and Citizenship

There are several ways to gain lawful permanent residency and citizenship in the United States. Typically, it starts with a visa application; however, some people are eligible for asylum or refugee status in the U.S. Your attorney can help you decide which category best fits your needs – and he or she can explain the application process, answer your questions and file your paperwork for you. Your attorney can also help you prepare for immigration interviews and explain how gaining permanent residency or citizenship works under current U.S. immigration law.

Family Immigration in Cedar Park

Lawful permanent residents and U.S. citizens can petition the U.S. government to allow certain family members into the country. Generally, this type of immigration is reserved for qualifying relatives, including spouses, fiancés, kids, siblings and parents. Unfortunately, the process can be complex and time-consuming; that’s why many people turn to an immigration attorney for help. Each qualifying relative must meet admissibility requirements before the government will consider his or her petition, as well, so your immigration lawyer can help ensure that you have the proper documentation to submit to U.S. Customs and Immigration Services.

Business Immigration

U.S. companies can petition the government to hire foreign workers when they cannot find American workers to fill certain jobs. Typically, these immigrants must fill “specialty jobs.” Companies that wish to hire foreign workers must obtain a Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor, and they must show that they have viable jobs available for immigrants. Immigrants who come to the U.S. for employment generally need to fall into one of three categories:

• Professionals with advanced degrees
• Those with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts or business
• Those who fulfill the requirement for a National Interest Waiver

Your immigration attorney can explain these categories, as well as help you find the right solution for your company’s needs, during a free consultation. Your lawyer will be able to smooth out the process and file the appropriate paperwork on your company’s behalf, as well.
