Woodway, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

After you get married, he will be eligible to adjust his status inside the U.S. since he entered legally. Consult with an immigration lawyer on the forms you'll need to proceed. Best of luck.

The immigration service does not take into account what state of the union you are in when adjudicating affirmative asylum cases.  State law does not govern federal asylum claims.  If an asylee lives in Texas, they would file their asylum application (I-589) with the Texas Service Center (a federal processing facility located in Texas).  Maybe the information you heard was that processing times for these cases at the Texas Service Center are taking longer than in other service centers.

*Removal/Deportation Representation* It is critically important that you get qualified and expert representation for the deportation/removal hearings. The Government will try to get the deportation issued. Neither the Immigration Judge, nor the Trial Attorney are there to help you. There are different forms of relief available which could result the granting of Lawful Permanent Residence. However, this requires large applications to be prepared and the necessity to prepare for trial. My firm has done this for several years, and if done properly, there is a very reasonable chance that it will be successful. If not done properly, the deportation order will be issued and your current way of living in the United States will end and you will either be on the run or be forcibly removed from the United States.
