Understanding U.S. and Texas Immigration Law

Immigration law in the United States is one of the most complex areas of law, with regulations and policies that frequently change. Navigating this system requires a deep understanding of both federal laws and state-specific regulations that can influence your immigration status and rights. At Nava Law Group, we have extensive experience in U.S. and Texas immigration law, ensuring that our clients are informed and fully prepared to face any legal challenges.

Federal Immigration Law

Immigration law in the U.S. is primarily governed by federal legislation, particularly the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Federal agencies like U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are responsible for implementing and enforcing these laws. The key areas of U.S. immigration law include:

  • Family-Based Immigration: Allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor relatives for green cards.
  • Employment-Based Immigration: Facilitates visas and green cards for workers with specific skills or job offers in the U.S.
  • Naturalization and Citizenship: Outlines the process for becoming a U.S. citizen through naturalization.
  • Asylum and Refugee Protection: Grants protection to individuals fleeing persecution in their home countries.
  • Deportation and Removal: Covers the legal processes and defenses available when someone faces deportation from the U.S.
  • DACA and TPS: Provides temporary protection to eligible immigrants, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. under specific conditions.

Due to frequent policy changes at the federal level, it’s essential to stay updated on the latest immigration laws and how they may impact your case. For example, changes in asylum policies, visa quotas, and enforcement priorities can directly affect the likelihood of approval for certain immigration benefits.

Texas-Specific Immigration Issues

While immigration law is governed at the federal level, individual states like Texas also play a significant role in how these laws are enforced. Texas, being a border state, faces unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to immigration.

  • Proximity to the U.S.-Mexico Border: Texas sees a high volume of immigration enforcement actions, including border detentions, deportations, and asylum claims. Cities along the Texas-Mexico border, like McAllen and El Paso, are particularly impacted by federal immigration policies.
  • Local Cooperation with ICE: Texas law enforcement agencies often cooperate with ICE, leading to frequent ICE holds and detentions for individuals arrested by local police. Laws such as Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB4) allow local police to ask about immigration status during routine stops, increasing the risk of detainment for immigrants.
  • “Sanctuary City” Policies: Texas has a complicated relationship with “sanctuary city” policies, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Understanding how local policies affect your case is crucial, as the level of enforcement can vary significantly across different Texas cities.
  • Agricultural and Employment-Based Immigration: Texas has a large agricultural industry that relies on migrant and seasonal workers. Understanding Texas’s labor certification requirements and visa processes for industries like agriculture is key for many employment-based immigration cases.

At Nava Law Group, we understand the nuances of both federal and Texas-specific immigration law, and we are committed to providing our clients with the best possible defense and guidance. Whether you’re facing an ICE hold, applying for a visa, or defending against deportation, we are here to protect your rights and guide you through every step of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Law

How long does the immigration process take?

The length of the immigration process varies depending on the type of application and the complexity of your case, but it can be from a few months to a few years. At Nava Law Group, we’ll help you understand the timeline for your specific case and guide you through each stage.

What are the most common reasons for visa or green card denial?

Visa or green card applications can be denied for various reasons, including incomplete applications, failure to meet eligibility requirements, previous immigration violations, or a lack of sufficient supporting documentation. Additionally, some applicants may be inadmissible due to criminal history, medical reasons, or misrepresentation.

What happens if my visa or green card application is denied?

If your visa or green card application is denied, you may have the option to appeal the decision or file a motion to reopen or reconsider the case. Nava Law Group can review the denial notice, identify any errors, and work to strengthen your case for a successful appeal or reapplication.

What should I do if I receive a deportation notice?

If you receive a deportation notice, it’s critical to act immediately. The first step is to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can review your case and discuss possible defenses. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for relief, such as asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status. At Nava Law Group, we will develop a defense strategy tailored to your case and represent you in immigration court to fight for your right to stay in the U.S.

Can I apply for asylum after entering the U.S. illegally?

Yes, you can still apply for asylum even if you entered the U.S. without documentation or have overstayed your visa. Asylum is available to individuals who have fled persecution or fear persecution in their home countries based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

Can I become a U.S. citizen if I have a criminal record?

It depends on the nature of the crime and how long ago it occurred. Certain crimes, such as aggravated felonies or crimes involving moral turpitude, may make you ineligible for citizenship. However, minor offenses may not bar you from becoming a U.S. citizen.
