"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 Houston
Bringing your spouse to the United States may involve a marriage green card, consular processing, or adjustment of status depending on where your spouse lives and your own immigration status. The process usually requires proof of a valid marriage, financial sponsorship, identity records, and careful review of immigration history. A marriage immigration attorney can organize the right filing path and documentation before your family moves forward.
You may be able to sponsor your child for a green card if you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and your child meets the eligibility requirements. Age, marital status, your immigration status, and visa availability can all affect the process. A family immigration attorney can review the relationship category and filing strategy before the petition is submitted.
A green card holder may be able to sponsor a spouse or unmarried child, but cannot sponsor every family member category available to U.S. citizens. Processing time can depend on the relationship, country of chargeability, priority date, and visa availability. Guidance from a family reunification immigration lawyer can clarify which relatives may qualify and what timeline your family may be facing.
If your family member’s application is denied, the first step is to review the notice, the reason for the decision, and any deadline to respond, appeal, reopen, or refile. A denial does not always end the case, but moving too quickly without understanding what went wrong can create more risk. With guidance from a family-based immigration attorney, your family can evaluate the next step and avoid repeating the same issue.
