Tye, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

As a permanent resident, he will only be able to sponsor a spouse (not necessary here) and I married children. Once he becomes a citizen, he can sponsor his parents and siblings.

Your friend appears to be too old to DACA, but he may be eligible under the new executive order. I suggest that he contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding his situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise him of his options.

It is critical you not try to do this yourself and you get professional help. *Removal/Deportation Representation* It is critically important that you get qualified and expert representation for the deportation/removal hearings. The Government will try to get the deportation issued. Neither the Immigration Judge, nor the Trial Attorney are there to help you. There are different forms of relief available which could result the granting of Lawful Permanent Residence. However, this requires large applications to be prepared and the necessity to prepare for trial. My firm has done this for several years, and if done properly, there is a very reasonable chance that it will be successful. If not done properly, the deportation order will be issued and your current way of living in the United States will end and you will either be on the run or be forcibly removed from the United States.
