Getting my family and me through the immigration process..
They stayed with us throughout the process and even after everything was finished.
My case was unusual and took many years to resolve, but throughout the entire process, Garry took the time to explain everything clearly and never left me feeling alone. His dedication, patience, and support made a difficult situation much easier to navigate.
I am truly thankful for Garry and his team. If you are looking for an attorney who genuinely cares and will stand by you every step of the way, Garry Davis is an excellent choice.
I want to extend special recognition to the attorney’s personal assistant, whose kindness, excellent communication, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless. Gabriel, our personal assigned attorney for our Interview was amazing with consistent support and responsiveness provided us confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a very stressful time.
Thanks to their collective expertise and commitment, my case achieved an extraordinary outcome. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of trustworthy, compassionate, and highly skilled immigration professionals
Mr. Javier Villabona also supported me at every step of the process and was always patient, responsive, and clear in his guidance. The entire team is honest, dedicated, and excellent at what they do. I’m truly grateful for their help and highly recommend Davis & Associates to anyone needing immigration assistance.
I actually started this process in the Houston office but due to some scheduling issues I wasn’t able to speak to an attorney and had to leave due to my own obligations back home. But as soon as I got on the road, I received a callback from Gloria in the Houston office who connected me with Claire and we were able to start the process.
In my opinion, both locations are top tier. Even with the scheduling issue, they accepted responsibility and resolved the issue quickly.
I highly recommend Davis & Associates. They are definitely the best of the best.
Throughout these six years, I had the opportunity to work with many wonderful people, and I am truly thankful for each one of them. I would like to start with Mr. Davis. He is one of the most knowledgeable and honest professionals I have ever worked with. He always tells the truth, gives the best advice, and presents all available options clearly. He is also very down to earth, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.
As for his team, I am sure I have worked with almost everyone in this large and professional office. Every single person was kind, helpful, and truly dedicated to doing their job the right way. I especially want to thank Claudia, Angela, and Karima — you are the best.
Attorney Mamei, you are an incredible person, and I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.
I apologize if I forgot to mention anyone by name, but please know that I am grateful to all of you.
Thank you for your hard work and for standing by me during this long journey.
From the very beginning, Garry L. Davis stood out to me as an extremely credible, authentic, and highly knowledgeable attorney. His expertise, professionalism, and strategic thinking in immigration law are truly exceptional. I say this from the heart.
During the course of my case, there were moments when I felt emotionally drained and overwhelmed, which is natural in such a long and sensitive process. What made all the difference was the way Mr. Davis handled every situation. He was always calm, confident, and very clear in his explanations. He never tried to say things just to make me feel better. Instead, he was always upfront, honest, and fact-based, while still being reassuring because he clearly knew what he was doing and why. His strategies were well thought out, and he always explained the reasoning behind them, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind.
Today, I have successfully received my Green Card, and I am genuinely grateful to Mr. Davis and his entire team for their dedication and support throughout this journey.
I wholeheartedly and confidently recommend Mr. Garry Davis to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. He is not only an outstanding professional but also a sincere, ethical, and compassionate human being who truly supports his clients during some of the most sensitive moments of their lives.
Thank you so much, Mr. Davis. May God bless you for the services you provide and for the difference you make in people’s lives when they need it most. Saiqa.
U.S. immigration law can be incredibly complicated. For most people, the best way to work through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is to hire a Dallas immigration attorney who understands the government’s requirements. An attorney can answer your questions every step of the way, and he or she can fill out complex paperwork, file forms and work with you to prepare for your immigration interview.
You may need to work with an attorney if you need help with:
- Business immigration
- Family immigration
- Deportation defense
- Immigration appeals
- Citizenship and naturalization
- Asylum or refugee status
- DACA help
Your attorney can help you understand what the U.S. government needs from you, and he or she can make the filing process as simple as possible. Your lawyer will be with you every step of the way during the immigration process and can provide you with case-specific legal advice, as well.
Dallas Business Immigration
When a company needs to hire foreign workers for specialty jobs that it can’t fill with American workers, the U.S. government requires it to go through a lengthy process for approval. USCIS requires companies that want to hire foreign workers to get a Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor and meet certain conditions before petitioning on a worker’s behalf. It also prohibits individuals from petitioning for themselves. Business immigration can be very complicated, particularly when you account for the actions companies must take before they can even hire workers, so for most companies, the best course of action is to work with a DFW immigration attorney.
Family Immigration
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can apply for visas for some of their family members. Family immigration requires a citizen or LPR to petition on behalf of the people he or she would like to bring to the U.S. Family members can come to the U.S. based on one of five preference categories, including:
- First preference (F1): This category is exclusively for unmarried children of U.S. citizens when the children are 21 years old or older.
- Second preference (F2A): This category is for spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents, provided that the children are under 21 years of age.
- Second preference (F2B): This visa category is reserved for the unmarried children of lawful permanent residents who are 21 or older.
- Third preference (F3): The only people who qualify for this visa category are the married children of U.S. citizens.
- Fourth preference (F4): This category is reserved for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, as long as the citizen’s siblings are 21 or older.
Deportation Defense
When U.S. government choose to deport someone, it’s often necessary to work with a skilled deportation defense attorney. If you’ve been notified that you’re facing removal proceedings, an attorney can help you understand your rights and represent you in court. Deportation procedures can be incredibly complex, and for most people, they’re very tough to navigate alone.
Immigration Appeals
When you lose a case in immigration court, your attorney can also help you file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals. You may disagree with an immigration judge’s decision if you lost a deportation or removal case, or if you were denied asylum or cancellation of removal. You can also fight the outcome of a case stemming from failing to obtain a green card, or if you’re denied U.S. citizenship. Working with an Dallas immigration appeal attorney in Dallas can help you get the second chance you deserve, because your lawyer will fight hard on your behalf to show the government why you deserve a different decision.
Citizenship and Naturalization
When you want to become a U.S. citizen, you must go through a comprehensive process that includes filing paperwork, submitting to a naturalization interview and taking a citizenship test. You need a green card, which makes you a lawful permanent resident of the United States, to become a naturalized citizen. You’ll also have to swear an oath of allegiance to the United States on the day you become a citizen. When you work with a citizenship attorney in Dallas, he or she will give you the guidance you need – both for your interview and the citizenship test – and will answer your questions every step of the way.
Asylum and Refugee Status
Asking for asylum or refugee status in the United States isn’t always a simple process. For many people, it’s best to work with an asylum attorney who understands the way U.S. immigration law works and how it applies to people who are seeking protection in the United States. The key difference between asylum and refugee status is where you are when you ask for the U.S.’s protection; you ask for asylum when you’re already here, and you ask for refugee status if you’re not currently in the U.S.
Asylum and refugee status are both available to people who are fleeing persecution in their home countries. You can ask for the U.S.’s protection if you’re being persecuted or you have a fear of persecution due to your:
- Race
- Religious beliefs
- Nationality
- Political opinion
- Membership in a certain social group
Dallas DACA Lawyers
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, is a U.S. immigration policy that allows some people to stay in the country even if they are currently here outside the law. This policy applies to people who were brought to the U.S. as children, and in some cases, they’re eligible for a period of deferred deportation and work permits. If you have this type of case, you may benefit from working with a DACA lawyer who understands what you’re going through – and what you’re up against.

Dallas Immigration Questions
If you are facing removal proceedings or have received a Notice to Appear, your case may be scheduled at the Dallas Immigration Court, located at 1100 Commerce Street, Suite 1060, Dallas, TX 75242.
This court handles immigration matters through the Executive Office for Immigration Review, including many deportation and removal cases for individuals in the Dallas area.
However, the exact court location, hearing date, time, and appearance requirements will depend on your official hearing notice. Some matters may involve different procedures, remote appearances, or other immigration offices depending on the circumstances of the case.
Before attending any immigration hearing, carefully review your notice and speak with a Dallas immigration lawyer to confirm where you must appear, what documents you should bring, and how to prepare for your case.
