What decides these cases
Most immigration problems get more expensive the longer they wait
Deadlines control immigration law
Response windows on RFEs and NOIDs, status expirations, condition-removal windows, and court dates are unforgiving. A case that's cheap to handle this month can be a waiver case next month. Getting a read early costs you one form.
The wrong first filing follows you
Every application becomes part of your permanent record. Inconsistent answers across filings — even innocent ones — surface years later at interviews. It's far cheaper to file right than to explain later.
Notario and DIY damage is real
We regularly inherit cases harmed by non-lawyer preparers and template services. If someone else touched your case and something feels off, a review now can stop compounding damage.

Who we help in Houston
This service is likely a fit if…
- Families filing marriage and relative petitions, waivers, and adjustments
- Professionals and employers handling work visas and employment green cards
- Entrepreneurs and investors — E-2, L-1, and business immigration
- Permanent residents ready for citizenship
- People with notices, deadlines, or prior denials who need a straight answer fast
It's probably not the right fit if…
- If you need a criminal defense attorney for a non-immigration matter, we'll refer you
- If the honest answer is that you have no viable path right now, we'll tell you that instead of selling a filing

Counsel that pressure-tests your case before the government does
A full-service immigration practice
Family, employment, business, citizenship, and defense work under one roof — so your case gets the right vehicle, not the only one a narrow shop sells.

Founding attorney Sam Faragalla trained at Fragomen, one of the world's largest corporate immigration firms, and brings that standard to individual and family cases.

The consultation tells you where your case stands, what it costs, and what the realistic timeline is — including when the honest advice is to wait or do nothing.

Costs, addressed head-on
What will your case cost?

Common questions
Questions we answer every week
How much does an immigration lawyer cost in Houston?
It depends on the matter: simple filings cost far less than waiver or defense work. What we can promise is the structure — a flat fee quoted at the consultation covering the defined scope, with government fees itemized separately. You'll never discover the price mid-case.
Do you offer consultations, and what do they cost?
Yes — submit the form and we'll reply within one business day with scheduling options and the consultation details. The consultation is a working session: you leave knowing your options, risks, realistic timeline, and the flat fee for your case.
Do you handle cases outside Houston?
Yes. Immigration is federal law, so the firm represents clients throughout Texas, across the U.S., and abroad. Consultations are available by phone and video; USCIS filings and most interviews don't require a local office visit.
What languages does the firm work in?
Intake and consultations are available in both English and Spanish — your entire case can be handled in either language, from the first call through the interview preparation. For other languages, we arrange interpretation; tell us your preferred language on the form.
I received a notice (RFE, NOID, or hearing date). How fast can you act?
Mark your form 'Emergency — days matter' or call us directly. Deadline cases get scheduled ahead of routine consultations, and we triage the response window on the first call. Bring the notice itself — the exact language determines the strategy.
Can you take over a case another preparer or lawyer started?
Yes — this is common. We review the complete file, tell you honestly what was done well and what needs repair, and either fix the pending case or restructure it. Bring copies of everything previously filed; consistency with the old record is half the strategy.
