Immigration Lawyer in Laredo, TX

Our Services

There are several facets to immigration law, with different forms needing to be filled out depending on the circumstances of the application. There are different types of evidence needed based on those circumstances. Our Laredo immigration attorneys have deep experience working on areas including, but not limited to, the following: 

Family Immigration

Having a direct familial connection with, or being engaged to a permanent resident, is a common path migrants can use to settle in the United States. 

Work Permit

There are several paths that people who have job opportunities or special skills can use to seek temporary residence in the United States. We’ll work with clients to help them choose the right work permit form to apply with. 

Adjustment of Status

The adjustment of status (AOS) refers to obtaining a green card. The AOS process confers permanent residency status on approved applicants and the opportunity to eventually go for full citizenship. 

Consular Processing

Very similar to AOS, consular processing is used for applicants who have been approved to come to the U.S., but are still living abroad. 

Citizenship & Naturalization

Once eligibility requirements are achieved, immigrants can apply to become full citizens of the United States, with all the benefits that come with that. And we can help. 

Asylum

There are circumstances where an applicant might be denied entry but have legitimate reasons to fear persecution in their home country. We can help them seek asylum in these cases. 

Criminal Defense

Defense law in cases when the defendant is an immigrant has a wholly different legal dynamic than standard criminal law cases. Our Laredo immigration lawyers understand the difference and respond appropriately. 

Deportation Defense

The prospect of being deported back to one’s country of origin can be a scary experience and the prospect of real damage to both the migrant and their loved ones is possible. Cardenas & Rodriguez fight hard to help protect the rights of those who face deportation. 

Bond Hearings

In the event, someone is arrested for an illegal border crossing, or another violation that is enforced by U.S. Customs Immigration & Enforcement (ICE), they may be eligible for a bond, which would allow them to remain free while awaiting a deportation hearing. We’re here to help clients apply for the hearing and to represent them in their effort to secure a fair bond amount.
