They always keep me informed of the progress with applying for the Citizenship and/or Green Card extensions. The Lawyer, Sam Faragalla always makes himself available to speak with me and gives me proper advice on the entire process. His Paralegal Jahy Khier always answers the call to help or answer the questions and give me great advice. The other secretaries always take messages and pass it on to the correct parties. I highly recommend this firm for all your immigration work in the USA because you will be in good hands."
★★★★★
"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 Hidalgo County
You should contact an immigration attorney when you are preparing an application, unsure about your eligibility, facing a deadline, responding to a USCIS notice, or dealing with any issue that may affect your immigration status. Early legal guidance can help you avoid incomplete filings, missed deadlines, and decisions made without a full understanding of your options. Faragalla Law helps Hidalgo County clients approach immigration matters with preparation, clarity, and a strategy built around their future.
Delays in the immigration process often happen because of incomplete forms, missing evidence, inconsistent information, missed deadlines, or unclear responses to USCIS requests. Working with an immigration lawyer can help you prepare accurate filings, organize supporting documentation, and respond carefully when additional information is required. A Hidalgo County immigration lawyer can help clients reduce avoidable setbacks by reviewing each immigration matter with detail, structure, and careful legal judgment.
A Request for Evidence, often called an RFE, is a notice from USCIS asking for additional documentation or clarification before deciding your immigration application. Your response should address the exact issues raised, include organized supporting evidence, and be submitted before the deadline. We help clients review RFEs, understand what USCIS is questioning, and prepare focused responses that support the strongest possible application.
Yes, an immigration attorney can help you prepare for a USCIS interview by reviewing your application, organizing important documents, explaining what to expect, and helping you understand the issues that may come up. Depending on the matter, an attorney may also attend the interview to provide support and help protect your rights during the process. Faragalla Law helps clients prepare for important immigration interviews with clarity, organization, and confidence.
