Why Hire an Immigration Lawyer?

The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area is home to nearly half a million people living in the United States without the proper paperwork. If you're one of them, you may worry about government crackdowns interrupting the life you've built here. A good immigration lawyer can protect you and help you secure the paperwork you need to become a permanent resident of the United States.

  • Other people use immigration lawyers to secure permanent residency for themselves before they move to the United States. An immigration lawyer can help people wanting to start a new life in Dallas gain working visas and other legal residency documents.
  • Immigration lawyers are also helpful for people who wish to be reunited with family members and loved ones living abroad. A top immigration lawyer can help you complete the paperwork necessary for your loved ones to enter the United States and stay with you in Dallas permanently.

The United States does not require people to use an immigration lawyer to secure permanent residency for themselves or another person, so you may be wondering whether you need an immigration lawyer at all. Immigration law is very complex. It can be difficult to understand all its rules and policies and how they relate to your personal circumstances. Immigration lawyers are used to dealing with these regulations and interpreting them for their clients.

If your case is difficult, working with an immigration lawyer will give you the greatest chance of success. A good immigration lawyer can also help you avoid delays in approval and fees for resubmitting documents and evidence.

Even if your case is not complex, applying for permanent residency can be stressful. With an immigration lawyer by your side, you have fewer worries. It's your lawyer's responsibility to make sure all documentation is completed correctly and filed on time. It's very easy to overlook a necessary part of your application, but you don't need to stress about this with an immigration lawyer overseeing your case.

How to Find the Best Immigration Lawyer in Dallas

Make sure your immigration lawyer is a member of the State Bar of Texas. Any attorney practicing law in Dallas must be licensed to work in the state. Most Dallas-based lawyers must pass the Texas State Bar Exam. In addition, within two years of passing the Bar Exam, lawyers in Dallas must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam of the National Conference of Bar Examiners with a scaled score of 85 or more before going into practice. In addition, consider the following when finding a Dallas immigration lawyer:

  • You might also look for a lawyer with immigration and nationality certification from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Immigration lawyers in Dallas don't need this certification, but it does indicate a thorough understanding of immigration law.
  • The best immigration lawyers in Dallas will be honest with you about your immigration case and its chances of success. They will not let you spend a significant amount of money in legal fees if they believe this money will be wasted. Look for immigration lawyers who speak candidly with you and discuss any challenges your case may present.
  • You can cross any immigration lawyers off your shortlist that have a troubled history with clients. You can search any Dallas lawyer's disciplinary history via the State Bar of Texas website. Alternatively, you can learn more by speaking to the Dallas office of the state's Chief Disciplinary Council at 972-3838-2900.
  • Ask any lawyer you meet with for references. Top immigration lawyers in Dallas will happily share the details of other satisfied clients with you. Speaking to these people will indicate how an immigration lawyer will work for you. You can also find testimonials for many immigration lawyers on their websites.
  • While you're visiting a law firm's website, don't just stop at the testimonials. The best immigration lawyers will regularly publish content with in-depth analysis and information about immigration law. These current resources indicate a lawyer who is passionate about and well-versed in immigration matters.

Questions for an Immigration Lawyer

  • How long have you worked in immigration law?
  • Do you have experience working on cases like mine?
  • What actions would you take immediately with my case? What would you do next?
  • What are my chances of a good outcome?
  • What can we do to improve my chances of a successful outcome?
  • How long do you expect it would take to resolve my case?
  • Will you work with anyone else on my case? Can I meet them?
  • English is not my first language. Can you or any of your colleagues speak my native language?

Dealing with immigration matters can be scary, but with a trusted immigration lawyer by your side, it doesn't need to be so intimidating. Browse through UpCounsel to find the best immigration lawyers in Dallas.

Request for Further Evidence (RFE) from USCIS - Assistance Needed

Wayne Nguyen

"I engaged Wayne's services to respond to USCIS concerning the removal of conditions on my permanent residency. I posted a job on UpCounsel detailing my need for assistance in responding to the RFE. Wayne Nguyen responded with a proposal, indicating his extensive experience in immigration law and offering to handle my case for a flat fee of $900. We exchanged emails to clarify the scope of work, and I confirmed that the flat fee would cover a comprehensive response. However, during the phone consultation on July 9th, Wayne was several minutes late, and when I called him, it was apparent that he was in a noisy environment. He seemed unprepared (having not reviewed my case until we began the call) and unfamiliar with relevant aspects of my case. The 20-minute phone consultation did not provide me with any new information or actionable advice. Wayne was not sure on the best way to response to the RFE and then simply agreed with the response method that I suggested. He essentially just advised that I could handle the RFE response myself, which contradicted the service he initially proposed. It is clear he had not read the information that I provided."

O-1 Visa

  • 7 min read

What Is the O-1 Visa?

The O-1 visa is a temporary work permit for those with extraordinary talents or skills. It's an easy visa to get, but only if the job is set up ahead of time and the person doing the job has special skills that the position needs.

The O-1 visa first appeared in 1990. Special status for exceptional immigrants had been around since 1965, but it was still a slow process. The O-1 gets around some of that by being a temporary work visa, and visa holders can still petition for a permanent green card while they work in the U.S.

What Gets You an O-1 Visa?

The extraordinary ability you need to get an O-1 visa can include any field, such as science, medicine, education, athletics, business, art, and entertainment. However, the people who apply for the visa have to prove their skills go above and beyond what you would normally expect. Some of the things that can
