    Austin TX Immigration Attorney Paves The Way To Permanent Residency

    If you are not a U.S. citizen, then an Austin TX immigration attorney can help you to legally enter and stay in the United States. Staying for a specific period of time and for a specific purpose, such as work or study, requires a non-immigrant visa. However, you’ll need an immigrant visa if you plan to live in the U.S. permanently.

    At Lincoln-Goldfinch Law, our primary objective is to assist you in achieving your immigration objectives. You may be wondering to what extent can immigration lawyers help you. Here are the different ways that a visa lawyer can help you with immigrant visas and more.

    Our professionals also speak Spanish and are experienced in providing advice in any circumstance in which your U.S. immigration case may arise, for more information visit our website in Spanish and schedule a consultation with our attorneys.

    About Lincoln-Goldfinch Law

    I wanted to work in the field of social justice when I started law school at the University of Texas. I knew I would be able to help in the Immigration Clinic because I speak Spanish, so I decided to enroll. As a student at the Clinic, my first assignment was to visit the Hutto immigrant detention center. There, I met with a detained family of asylum seekers who had a five-month-old baby girl.

    She was wearing a onesie issued by the prison. Her mom asked me if I would hold her during our meeting because I smelled like the outside world, and when I got up to leave our meeting, she asked me if I could sneak her baby out with me and take care of her until her parents could get out. Although I couldn’t do that, I did represent the family in their successful asylum case.

    The elation I felt at helping obtain that family’s release and securing their future coupled with the horror I felt at seeing children in jail made my choice easy: I will spend my career fighting for justice and dignity for immigrants in Austin and the whole United States.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      The timeline for a family-based green card depends on the relationship and the petitioner’s immigration status. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21) typically experience faster processing, often within 12–18 months. For other family categories, it can take several years due to visa availability. Lincoln-Goldfinch Law can guide you through the process and help avoid unnecessary delays.

      It depends on your case. Many applicants can apply for a work permit (Employment Authorization Document, or EAD) if they’re adjusting status, seeking asylum, or have certain temporary visas. This permit allows you to legally work while your case is reviewed. Speak with an immigration attorney at Lincoln-Goldfinch Law to determine if you qualify.
      Missing a court hearing can lead to serious consequences, including an automatic deportation order. However, in some cases, the decision can be reopened if you can prove a valid reason for your absence. It’s crucial to consult with an experienced immigration attorney immediately to protect your rights and address the situation.
      Currently, Texas law does not allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. However, if you have a valid work permit, asylum status, or other legal status, you may be eligible. Lincoln-Goldfinch Law can help you understand your options and how your immigration status may impact your eligibility.

      If you’re at risk of deportation, there are several legal defenses available, such as asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, or family-based relief. The key is to act quickly and consult an immigration attorney to build your case. At Lincoln-Goldfinch Law, we provide compassionate and strategic representation to protect your future.
