Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer

The law office of Mark E. Jacobs, P.C. in Dallas, Texas, focuses on the following areas of immigration law:

Family-Based Immigration

If you are already a United States citizen, your spouse, parents, and minor children can enter the country quickly and easily. After a certain amount of time, adult children and siblings can join you as well. The process of obtaining a family visa can be initiated in the United States or in your country of origin.

Naturalization & Citizenship

At the law office of Mark E. Jacobs, P.C., we strongly encourage people to become citizens as soon as they are eligible. If you have the opportunity to become an American citizen, which allows you the opportunity to vote, you should immediately retain an immigration attorney for help.

Deportation / Removal

Many individuals may find themselves facing a removal proceeding as a result of a criminal situation or a circumstance where they were revealed as an illegal alien. As your advocates, we will assist you in your attempt to stay in this county. We will advise criminal attorneys of the immigration consequences of your criminal matters.

Overseas Consular Processing

We help submit the final paperwork and prepare clients for interviews at the United States Consulate. We work to ensure that clients know what to expect at the interview.

Asylum

Aliens often come to America as a safe haven away from dangerous political situations or persecution. We advise clients on eligibility for asylum and assist them in preparing the necessary paperwork. We will advocate for you before the asylum office or before the courts.

Appeals / Federal Court Immigration Litigation

If an immigration judge has denied your application for relief, we may be able to assist you by appealing the decision. If the application process is taking too long, we can file suit in federal court in an effort to have your case completed.

Waivers of Inadmissibility

We help individuals file applications for waivers of grounds of inadmissibility, including criminal-based waivers and waivers involving the three- and ten-year bars. We prepare and submit waiver applications to U.S. consular offices, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or immigration court.

Interview Tips

We thoroughly prepare our clients for their interviews, providing tips on what to expect and how to act during family-based or employment-based interviews, asylum interviews, and citizenship/naturalization interviews.

Maintaining Status/Travel Documents

Failure to maintain your immigration status can make it difficult to stay in the United States, re-enter the United States, or apply for permanent residency or citizenship. We help clients maintain their immigration status and secure the documents necessary to travel overseas.

Business Immigration

We can help companies that want to bring in foreign workers secure legal permanent residence (green cards) for those employees. We have also helped aliens set up companies in the United States and secure visas for staff to come to the U.S. to run those companies. We also help with securing non-immigrant business visas / temporary work visas for employers.

Labor Certification / Permanent Residence

Individuals seeking permanent residence through employment-based immigration can rely on our experience and knowledge to successfully facilitate the entire process. We can help employers seeking legal permanent resident status for employees through the PERM labor certification process.
