Immigration Resources

Helpful information for Houston families navigating immigration and criminal matters.

Immigration and criminal matters raise a lot of questions. Below are answers to some of the questions Houston families ask us most. This information is general — every case is different, so contact us to talk about yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I receive a Notice to Appear or deportation notice?
Do not miss any hearing date — missing a hearing can lead to a removal order in your absence. Contact an immigration attorney as soon as possible so your Notice to Appear can be reviewed and possible relief identified before your first hearing.
How can I help a family member immigrate to the U.S.?
U.S. citizens and permanent residents can petition for certain relatives. The right path depends on your status and your relative’s location, and may involve adjustment of status or consular processing.
What is the process for applying for U.S. citizenship?
Eligible permanent residents may apply for naturalization, usually after 3 or 5 years, by filing Form N-400, attending biometrics, passing the English and civics tests, and completing an interview.
Can a criminal charge affect my immigration case?
Yes. Even a minor charge can carry serious immigration consequences. Because criminal and immigration law overlap, we handle both together so the criminal outcome is evaluated for its effect on your status.
