"I have had a very positive experience with Faragalla Law. They are very friendly and knowledgeable of the US Immigration policies and procedures. 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 Houston
Immigration law covers the federal rules that determine who may enter, live, work, remain, or become a citizen in the United States. For many people, this may involve a visa, green card, work authorization, family petition, citizenship application, asylum matter, or deportation defense concern. Faragalla Law helps you understand your options and determine whether guidance from an immigration attorney may support your next step.
If your immigration application has been denied, you should carefully review the denial notice, the reason for the decision, and any deadlines for appeal, reconsideration, reopening, waiver relief, or refiling. A denial does not always mean your immigration goals are over, but it can create serious consequences if you ignore it or respond without a clear legal strategy. A Houston immigration attorney can help you evaluate what went wrong, protect your options, and determine whether working with an experienced immigration lawyer may help you move forward.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services handles many immigration applications and petitions, including green cards, work authorization, naturalization, family-based filings, and other immigration benefits. During the process, the agency may review your forms, request additional evidence, schedule interviews, and issue decisions on certain applications. We prepare accurate documentation and approach your matter with the support of a focused immigration law firm.
The immigration process in Houston varies widely depending on the type of application, agency processing times, the completeness of your filing, whether additional evidence is requested, and whether your case involves consular processing or immigration court. Some matters may move more quickly, while others can take months or longer because of backlogs, missing documents, or case-specific complications. Faragalla Law helps you understand the likely timeline, prepare the required documentation, and avoid preventable delays with guidance from an immigration lawyer in Houston.
