Immigration Cases I Handle 

Calehr Law Firm provides a full range of immigration law services and legal representation to the Greater Houston area. Here are a few of the areas I can help you with: 

Asylum 

Asylum is a form of protection granted to individuals in the United States who have fled their home country due to persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. At Calehr Law Firm, I work hard to secure asylum status for my clients, aiming to ensure that they can live safely and with dignity, free from the threats they faced in their home countries.  

Citizenship 

Becoming a U.S. citizen is an aspirational goal for many immigrants, offering numerous benefits and opportunities. At Calehr Law Firm, I provide thorough assistance with naturalization applications, ensuring all eligibility criteria are met and requisite documentation is submitted. I prepare clients for their citizenship interviews and exams, striving to make their path to becoming an American citizen as seamless as possible. My dedication to each case reflects our commitment to helping immigrants achieve their American dream. 

Deportation Defense 

Facing deportation is one of the most stressful and daunting experiences for any immigrant. I have extensive experience in deportation defense cases, and I provide robust legal strategies to prevent removal and help clients remain in the United States legally. This includes representing clients in immigration court, filing necessary appeals, and negotiating with immigration authorities. By understanding the unique circumstances of each case, I know how to protect my Houston clients' rights and find viable solutions to their immigration problems. 

Green Cards 

Obtaining a Green Card, or permanent residency, is a significant milestone for many immigrants, allowing them to live and work permanently in the United States. Calehr Law Firm assists clients through the application process for family-based, employment-based, and other categories of permanent residency. I deliver detailed guidance on eligibility requirements, documentation, and interviews, helping to make the journey to permanent residency as smooth and efficient as possible. 

PERM/Labor Certifications 

The PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) labor certification is a prerequisite for many employment-based Green Card petitions. It requires proving that there are no qualified U.S. workers able or willing to fill a job position offered to a foreign worker. My Houston firm handles the details of the PERM process, from advertising the job and recruiting U.S. workers to filing the labor certification application. I strive to verify compliance with all Department of Labor regulations, thereby supporting the smooth progression of our clients' employment-based immigration cases. 

Temporary Visas 

Temporary visas allow individuals to visit the United States for a specific purpose and time frame, whether for tourism, business, education, or temporary work. At Calehr Law Firm, I help clients determine the appropriate type of temporary visa for their needs and navigate the application process. My services include preparing and submitting visa applications, dealing with consulates, and providing counsel for visa interviews to enhance the chances of approval. 

Work Visas 

Work visas are essential for foreign nationals seeking employment in the United States. Calehr Law Firm assists clients and employers with various types of work visas, including H-1B, L-1, E-2, and others. I offer comprehensive support throughout the application process, ensuring all necessary documentation is accurately completed and submitted. My experience and knowledge help clients and businesses navigate U.S. immigration laws to secure the necessary authorization for employment. 

Fiancé Visas 

Fiancé visas, such as the K-1 visa, allow U.S. citizens to bring their foreign national fiancé(e) to the United States for marriage. At Calehr Law Firm, I guide clients through the K-1 visa process, from the initial petition to the visa interview. My goal is to facilitate the timely and smooth reunification of couples planning to build their futures together in the United States. 

Investor Treaty Visas 

Investor Treaty Visas, like the E-2 visa, allow foreign investors to enter the United States to develop and direct operations of an enterprise in which they have invested a substantial amount of capital. Calehr Law Firm assists clients in preparing comprehensive business plans, gathering necessary documentation, and filing applications. My deep understanding of investor visa requirements helps clients successfully obtain the visa, so they can focus on growing their businesses in the U.S. 

Federal Court Appeals 

Challenging adverse immigration decisions in federal court requires a high level of understanding and experience. I'm committed to pursuing justice and favorable outcomes for our clients through diligent and strategic legal advocacy. Calehr Law Firm represents clients in federal court appeals, seeking to overturn decisions that have wrongly affected their immigration status. I meticulously review case records, prepare compelling arguments, and navigate the nuances of federal court procedures.  

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Visa 

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides immigration relief for victims of domestic violence. At Calehr Law Firm, I offer compassionate and confidential support to petitioners seeking VAWA visas, which allow them to apply for green cards without the involvement of their abusive spouse or parent. I assist clients in preparing strong petitions that include evidence of abuse and qualifying relationships, empowering them to escape harmful situations and build safer lives. 

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) 

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) provides temporary protection from deportation and work authorization for eligible undocumented individuals who were brought to the United States as children. Calehr Law Firm supports clients in applying for and renewing their DACA status, guiding eligibility, documentation, and deadlines. My dedication to DACA recipients stems from my belief in their potential and the importance of enabling them to contribute fully to American society.
