Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Services
Can you help me even if I'm not in Houston?
Yes. Immigration law is federal, allowing us to represent clients nationwide from our Austin office.
How long does the immigration process take in Houston?
Processing times vary significantly by case type. Family cases: 12 months to several years. Employment cases: 6 months to 2 years. We provide realistic timelines during consultation.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost in Houston, Texas?
The cost of an immigration lawyer in Houston varies based on the type and complexity of your case. We believe in complete transparency. In your free consultation, we will provide you with a clear, flat-fee quote.
Is it better to use an immigration lawyer for my case?
While you can file alone, the U.S. immigration system is complex, and small mistakes can lead to long delays or denials. Working with an experienced immigration lawyer dramatically increases your chances of approval by ensuring your case is prepared correctly and strategically from the very beginning.
Where can I get free immigration advice in Houston?
Your best source for reliable, personalized advice is a confidential consultation with a qualified attorney. We offer a free initial consultation to help you understand your options and map out a clear path forward without any financial commitment.
What is the difference between an immigration lawyer and an attorney?
In the United States, the terms "lawyer" and "attorney" are often used interchangeably. Both refer to a professional who is licensed to practice law and can represent clients in legal matters, including before USCIS and in immigration court.
