Caring Immigration Attorney Representing Clients in Bedford, Texas

If you or a loved one is going through legal trouble as an immigrant, you may feel like you are fighting an uphill battle.

A Bedford immigration lawyer can advocate for your rights, working to meet your needs.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we have extensive experience in immigration law. Bilingual in English and Spanish, Attorney Edwardo Meza provides compassionate, one-on-one support for his clients, breaking down complex legal information in a digestible way. When you work with our firm, you can rest assured that your case will be handled by a lawyer who cares.

Family Immigration

If you want to help a family member immigrate to the country, but do not know where to begin, our family immigration attorney can help. Family-based immigration is a complex, multi-step process that can be made easier with legal assistance.

Attorney Edwardo Meza can help you petition for an Immediate Relative visa or a Family Preference visa. Immediate Relative visas are unlimited, and they can be extended to spouses, an unmarried child under 21, or parents.

Family Preference visas have more strict requirements, but they can be extended to other relatives aside from your immediate family, such as adult sons and daughters, unmarried children, or siblings. At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can assist with the application process, compiling all of the necessary documents for you to sponsor your relative for a visa. We can also appeal a denied petition, advocating for your relative and handling communications with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Green Cards

Securing a green card comes with many benefits. As a permanent resident, you will be protected under the country's laws, and you will have the right to live and work within the U.S. A green card can also provide you with a route to citizenship in the future.

The process of getting a green card involves paperwork and approval from USCIS. To begin, you will have to find an employer or a relative who is willing to sponsor you within the U.S. Then, you will send your petition to USCIS, which will approve you for a visa if you are eligible.

As part of the green card application, you will be fingerprinted and photographed before you are interviewed by immigration authorities. You may be asked certain questions about your history and your plans for the future. At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can guide you through the application process and advise you on what to say during the interview.

Citizenship and Naturalization

It takes years to attain citizenship in the United States. As a legal citizen, you will enjoy protection from deportation, voting rights, and citizenship for your minor children. Attorney Edwardo Meza can help you prepare for naturalization and provide proof of your qualifications, helping to ensure a smooth experience during the application process.

To be eligible for naturalization, you must have been a green card holder for at least five years. This requirement is reduced to three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen. Additionally, you must be able to speak, read, and write in English to a basic extent. You may also be assessed on your moral character, so any criminal convictions or habitual vices like gambling could disqualify you.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can cut down on delays to this process and make sure you are in a good position to apply for citizenship.
