Immigration for spouses, including same-sex spouses. Same-sex spouses are eligible to apply for permanent resident status and obtain their “green card” in the United States.

Fiancé Visas

A U.S. citizen may petition for his fiancé to enter the U.S. on a K-1 visa solely for the purpose of marrying that U.S. citizen within 90 days of their entry. Same-sex couples are eligible to apply for a fiancé visa as long as all the fiancé eligibility requirements are met. The law of the state/place where the marriage took place must be valid for immigration purposes.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Children and students who were brought to the U.S. illegally as a child may apply to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to exercise their discretion to stop or defer their deportation or removal from the U.S.

Call Ponce Law Office at 972-863-1446 to schedule your consultation to see if you are eligible to apply for Deferred Action from Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Remember DACA applicants must meet certain requirements. If you have any questions regarding DACA immigration law, please contact Ponce Law Office to schedule an in-person, telephonic or video consultation.

Temporary Protected Status / Asylum

Individuals from certain designated countries may be eligible for Temporary Protected Status. Asylum is a protective status that allows a person to remain the United States legally because they would be at risk of serious harm if they had to return to their home country.

Waivers of Inadmissibility

Certain criminal violations and immigration violations including misrepresentations and health-related conditions prohibit individuals from entering the country. If this is the case, there may be a waiver application available waiving the inadmissibility grounds.
