"I had a great experience working with Sam on my E-2 visa from Canada. After dealing with two unresponsive attorneys, Sam was a huge relief—always responsive, professional, and reliable. He consistently answered my calls or followed up within a few hours. His fees were reasonable, and the level of service was truly five-star. Thank you, Sam, for your outstanding support and guidance throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an immigration attorney."

"We had a good experience working with Sam and Jahy. Sam laid out the groundwork in the beginning and Jahy kept us informed as to how to respond to our immigration forms. Jahy answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Faragalla Law firm was a good choice for us."
★★★★★
"My relative got detained and we called a few law firms. Out of all of them, Sam was the most knowledgeable. He was able to get my uncle released and we are forever grateful."
★★★★★
"I initially hesitated to work with Sam because he was blunt and honest, while other attorneys made big promises. In hindsight, I realized that his straightforwardness was a strength. The other lawyers ended up charging me extra for services I didn't need, while he provided clear and realistic advice. I wish I had gone with him from the start. If you want someone who tells it like it is, he's a great choice!"

Common Questions About Immigration Law in Austin
Sponsoring a family member usually begins with proving the qualifying relationship and filing the right petition with USCIS. The process may involve evidence of your relationship, financial support documents, identity records, and careful review of your loved one’s immigration history. An I-130 petition attorney can help you understand the filing requirements and prepare a petition that supports your family’s next step.
The I-130 petition is used to establish a qualifying family relationship between a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and an eligible relative. Approval of the petition does not automatically grant a green card, but it is often the first major step in the family immigration process. Working with an Austin family immigration lawyer at Faragalla Law can help you prepare the evidence correctly and understand what comes next.
For your first consultation, bring documents that show your relationship, identity, immigration history, and current status, such as passports, visas, green cards, marriage certificates, birth certificates, USCIS notices, prior applications, and any denial letters. It also helps to bring a timeline of important dates and questions about your family’s goals. We use those details to identify potential issues and explain the best path forward.
Unlawful presence can affect whether someone may apply for a green card, return to the United States, or move forward through consular processing. The consequences depend on the amount of unlawful presence, immigration history, and whether a waiver or other legal option may be available. If your loved one has status concerns, a family-based immigration lawyer can help you evaluate the risks before filing.
