DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is a program that offers temporary protection from deportation and work authorization for eligible young immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It allows individuals who meet specific criteria, such as having arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16 and meeting educational requirements, to apply for a renewable two-year period of deferred action, during which they are not subject to removal proceedings and can obtain employment authorization.

Deportation, also known as removal, is the legal process by which a non-citizen is formally expelled from the United States. It typically occurs when an individual violates immigration laws, such as overstaying a visa, entering the country without proper authorization, or committing certain criminal offenses.
Deportation proceedings are conducted by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a part of the Department of Justice, and can result in the individual being required to leave the U.S. and potentially being barred from re-entering for a specific period or permanently.
Facing removal proceedings can be daunting, but our deportation defense Dallas team fights to protect your rights. From cancellation of removal to waivers of inadmissibility, we develop robust strategies to help you remain in the U.S. with your loved ones.
Employment-based visas allow foreign nationals to work temporarily or permanently in the United States based on their skills, qualifications, and job offers from U.S. employers. These visas include categories such as H-1B for specialty occupations, E visas for treaty traders and investors, L visas for intra-company transferees, and O visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement.
Employers typically sponsor applicants and must demonstrate that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect U.S. workers. Each visa category has specific requirements and application processes managed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Businesses and professionals rely on our expertise when pursuing employment-based visas in Dallas. We streamline the process, ensuring compliance with USCIS requirements and helping employers and employees achieve their goals.

Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals who have fled their home country and cannot return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. To be granted asylum in the United States, individuals must apply within one year of arriving in the country and demonstrate credible fear of persecution.
If granted, asylum allows individuals to remain in the U.S., work legally, and eventually apply for permanent residency and citizenship. It is a critical form of humanitarian relief for those seeking safety from harm.
For those fleeing persecution or seeking protection, our team of asylum lawyers in Dallas provides compassionate support. We handle asylum cases, VAWA petitions, TPS applications, and other humanitarian relief options, advocating for your safety and security.
Navigating the complexities of U.S. immigration law presents numerous challenges for individuals and families. Here are some of the most common concerns:

Even minor errors or omissions in immigration forms and supporting documents can lead to application denials or delays. Meticulous preparation and accuracy are critical to avoid setbacks.
Immigration laws and policies can change frequently, making it difficult to stay informed and adapt to new requirements. Sudden shifts can impact pending applications, visa renewals, and eligibility criteria.
Immigration processes often involve significant costs, including application fees, legal fees, and travel expenses. These financial barriers can prevent individuals and families from pursuing their immigration goals.

The constant threat of deportation or removal can cause immense stress and anxiety for individuals without legal status. This fear can affect their daily lives, relationships, and mental health.
For employment-based visas, employers face challenges in complying with complex regulations and sponsoring foreign workers. Issues may arise regarding prevailing wages, labor certifications, and maintaining legal status.
Immigration processes can lead to lengthy separations from family members. Waiting for visa approvals, dealing with travel restrictions, and navigating legal complexities can strain family relationships.
Individuals already in the U.S. on temporary visas must continually maintain their legal status by complying with visa terms and conditions. Overstaying a visa or violating regulations can have severe consequences.
