"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 Hidalgo County Immigration Law
Bringing your spouse to the United States may involve a marriage visa, consular processing, or a green card path depending on your status and where your spouse currently lives. The process usually requires proof of a valid marriage, financial sponsorship, civil records, and careful review of immigration history. At Faragalla Law, our marriage visa attorneys can help organize the right filing path before your family moves forward.
A K-1 fiancé visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring a fiancé to the United States for marriage, usually with the requirement that the couple marry within 90 days after entry. Eligibility depends on the relationship, intent to marry, prior immigration history, and the evidence submitted with the application. A K-1 visa attorney can review the requirements and prepare the documentation needed to support the relationship.
A priority date is the date that helps determine when certain family-based immigration cases can move forward toward a visa or green card. If a visa is not immediately available, your family may need to wait until the priority date becomes current under the correct category. For many families, guidance from a Hidalgo County family immigration attorney can clarify where the case stands and clarify what steps may expedite the process.
Your family member may be able to apply for a green card from inside the United States through adjustment of status if they meet the eligibility requirements. Current status, immigration history, family relationship, entry history, and visa availability can all affect whether this path is available. An adjustment of status family attorney can review the risks before anything is filed.
