Supportive Lawyer Helping Immigrants With Visas, Green Cards, and More in Euless, TX

Immigrating to a new country can give you the chance to build a better life for yourself and your family. However, it can also come with much hardship, especially if you are unfamiliar with the laws or language of the country. By seeking legal representation from a Euless immigration lawyer, you can take steps to protect your rights and secure a visa and/or green card.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we proudly represent immigrants to the United States, helping them address a variety of legal concerns. Attorney Edwardo Meza is a solo practitioner who is fluent in both English and Spanish, and with his extensive legal experience, he provides his clients with strong legal advice and effective advocacy.

Green Cards

Immigrants who wish to resettle in the United States will usually work to secure green cards, which will recognize them as lawful permanent residents who will be able to live and work in the country indefinitely. For many immigrants, the best way to obtain a green card is through family sponsorship. Our law firm works with families to determine the best options for obtaining family-based immigrant visas that will allow their loved ones to come to the U.S. We can assist with visas for spouses, children, and other family members, and we can determine whether applying for an adjustment of status or completing consular processing will be the ideal path to take during the immigration process. We also assist with fiancé visas, helping couples take steps to get married in the United States so that the immigrant spouse can receive a green card.

Citizenship and Naturalization

For lawful permanent residents of the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen is often the last step on a long journey. To qualify for citizenship, you must meet multiple requirements, including:

• You must have been a lawful permanent resident for the past five years (three years if you have been married to a U.S. citizen during this entire period)
• You must be at least 18 years old
• You must have lived in your current state or territory for a minimum of three months
• You must have a basic grasp of written and spoken English
• You must demonstrate a commitment to the ideals of the U.S. Constitution
• You must understand key points about U.S. history and how the government works
• You must show that you have good moral character

These requirements are strict, and if any one is not met, your application for citizenship could be denied. However, certain requirements can be waived. For instance, if you have a learning disability, you may not be required to take an English or civics test. At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can address any factors that might bar you from citizenship and represent you in front of immigration authorities.

Crimmigration

Non-US citizens who are charged with crimes may face serious immigration consequences if they are convicted. In these cases, it is important to have a lawyer who is experienced in both criminal defense and immigration law. Attorney Edwardo Meza has devoted his career to defending immigrants accused of criminal violations, an intersection of law known as crimmigration.

A conviction can wreak havoc on your immigration status. For example, the court may consider a misdemeanor DWI conviction as a reflection of your poor moral character, which can bar you from citizenship as a green card holder. Certain violations may also be grounds for deportation, such as drug crimes. At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can put forth an aggressive defense on your behalf, fighting the criminal charge and helping you avoid immigration consequences.
