Family Immigration in Georgetown, TX
Many U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition the U.S. government to allow family members to come into the country. There are several types of visas available for family members, including fiancé visas and family preference visas. Your Georgetown immigration attorney can help you find the best path for your loved ones to come to the U.S. and work with you every step of the way.
Typically, the whole process begins with a sponsor in the U.S. (the citizen or lawful permanent resident). The sponsor must file paperwork on behalf of his or her family members, pay fees and submit several forms and documents. The family members that the sponsor wants to bring to the U.S. must meet admissibility requirements, as well.
Your attorney can walk you through the entire family immigration process. He or she will answer your questions, help you complete and file paperwork, and explain all your options along the way.
Employment-Based Immigration
When a company needs to hire foreign workers to fill specialty jobs that Americans can’t fill, it must take several steps. First, the business must obtain a Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. Then, it must show that it needs to bring in workers and prove that it has a viable specialty job for someone to perform.
There are three main categories that companies can use to sponsor an immigrant from the global workforce, and an immigration attorney can help you understand the nuances of each. Typically, employment-based immigration is restricted to professionals with advanced degrees, those with exceptional abilities in science, art or business, and those who fulfill the requirement for a National Interest Waiver.
Immigration Appeals
There’s no way to predict how an immigration judge will rule in any case, but if the judge who handled your case made a decision you don’t agree with, you may be able to appeal it. Typically, people work with immigration attorneys when they need to prove that they deserve a different decision. You don’t necessarily have to appeal a judge’s decision if you disagree, alternatively, your immigration appeal attorney can file a motion to reopen or reconsider your case; if that happens, the judge who made the original decision will look at the case again if you can provide new evidence or show that your circumstances have changed.

Are there immigrant visas available for permanent employment in the U.S?
Yes. There are Permanent Worker Visas available in five different preference categories - EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, and EB-5. The categories differ based on different skills, areas of study, and professions required for eligibility. EB-2 and EB-3 applicants are also required to obtain a Labor Certification from the U.S Department of Labor.
What is the difference between filing an appeal and filing a motion?
By filing an appeal, you are asking either The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) of USCIS or the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) of the U.S Department of Justice to review the original decision made on your case. A motion, on the other hand, allows you to submit additional evidence and request the original decision maker on the case to review his decision.
In what cases is filing an appeal / a motion an option?
There are over 50 different types of immigration cases that qualify for the appeals process. Qualifying cases include but are not limited to forms I-129, I-131, I-140, I-212, I-352, I-360, I-485, I-600, I-918, N-470, N-580 and N-600.
