"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."

★★★★★
"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 Employment-Based Immigration Law in Texas
Employment-based immigration allows qualified workers, professionals, executives, investors, and certain business owners to pursue temporary work authorization or long-term immigration options in the United States. Eligibility depends on the visa or green card category, the applicant’s credentials, the employer’s role, and the documentation available to support the case. An experienced Texas business immigration lawyer can review your goals and identify which path may best align with your work, business, or investment plans.
A nonimmigrant work visa is usually temporary and tied to a specific purpose, employer, position, or period of stay, such as an H-1B, L-1, TN, or O-1 visa. An immigrant work pathway is designed for permanent residence, often through an employment-based green card category such as EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3. Working alongside a work visa attorney can help you understand whether your immediate goal is temporary work authorization, long-term residence, or a strategy that connects both.
A Texas business immigration lawyer can help your company evaluate visa options, sponsor qualified employees, prepare USCIS petitions, review documentation, and plan for long-term workforce needs. Business immigration can involve H-1B petitions, L-1 transfers, PERM labor certification, employment-based green cards, investor visas, and compliance-sensitive filings. Faragalla Law works with employers and business leaders to structure immigration strategies around the role, the candidate, and the company’s broader goals.
An Employment Authorization Document, often called an EAD or work permit, allows certain eligible foreign nationals to work legally in the United States while an application or immigration status permits employment authorization. It is not the same as an H-1B visa or an employment-based green card, and eligibility depends on the person’s specific immigration category or on a pending application. An H-1B visa attorney can help distinguish whether your case requires employer-sponsored work status, an EAD, or another employment immigration option.
