Immigration FAQ

What is a Green Card?

A green card, also known as a permanent resident card, allows an individual who is not a U.S. citizen to gain permanent residence within the United States. It allows an individual to live and work legally in the U.S. and also qualifies them to apply for citizenship after a few years. Green cards must be renewed every 10 years.

Can I Work in the U.S. If I'm Waiting for My Green Card?

It is possible for an individual to work while applying for a green card if they have a valid work visa such as an H-1B or L-1 visa. If a green card applicant does not have a valid work visa, then in order to work in the U.S. legally, they must obtain a work permit via Form I-765.

How Long Does The Immigration Process Typically Take?

It is difficult to provide an exact timeframe for any immigration processes. The duration of immigration cases varies depending on the type of immigration application you are filing, the circumstances of the person who is applying, and the workload and processing times of the immigration authorities.

Some immigration processes may be relatively quick, taking a few months to complete, while others can be more complex and lengthy, taking several years to finalize. For example, family-based immigration petitions can typically take several months to process, while employment-based visas or certain immigrant visa categories may have longer processing times. Unexpected delays may also come up due to requests for additional documentation or other factors. We highly suggest consulting with Houston immigration lawyers near you at Law Office of Ivan Neel for the most accurate and up-to-date information on processing times for specific immigration applications.

How Does Working With Immigration Lawyers in Houston Help?

Working with an attorney can potentially help expedite and streamline your immigration process in several ways:

Knowledge and expertise: Immigration attorneys possess extensive knowledge and expertise about immigration laws, regulations, and procedures. They have a thorough understanding of the  requirements, forms, and supporting documentation needed for the various immigration applications. Through their in-depth understanding, attorneys can ensure that all of your essential paperwork is completed in a timely manner which minimizes the chances of mistakes or omissions that may lead to delays or denials in your immigration process.

  • Case preparation and organization: Individuals can receive advice and guidance from immigration attorneys in Houston, TX in compiling and presenting required documentation in a thorough and persuasive manner. Attorneys can assist applicants in making a convincing and thorough case. This level of preparation can result in a faster decision-making process.
  • Communication and advocacy: Attorneys act as your skilled communicator and advocate on your behalf. They can communicate with immigration officials such as the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Department of State, responding to any queries or requests for additional information for you. This can help to avoid unnecessary delays and maintain clear communication throughout the entire process.
  • Proactive approach: A Houston immigration lawyer can keep up with changes in immigration laws, rules, and processes. They can also anticipate potential obstacles or issues that may develop during the immigration process and provide assistance on how to efficiently handle them. Attorneys can help avoid delays and keep the process moving ahead by recognizing and addressing any hurdles early on.

While working with an immigration attorney does not guarantee that your immigration process will be expedited, their knowledge, expertise, and proactive approach can significantly increase the efficiency and likelihood of a favorable outcome. It's important to consult with an experienced immigration lawyer in Houston, Texas who can assess your situation, provide personalized counsel, and guide you through the immigration process.

    “I wish I had contacted Ivan Neel sooner!!”

    I contacted Ivan Neel to apply for Naturalization and the process was smooth, thorough, good price, and fast! I had already contacted two other lawyers before who didn't want to take my case, because they saw two "potential problems". Ivan didn't see any problems at all, and he was right, I've been an outstanding citizen for over two decades. I wish I had contacted Ivan Neel sooner!!
