Dallas Green Card Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about permanent residence applications in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
What green card categories are available for Dallas professionals?
Employment-based options commonly used by DFW professionals include EB-1 (extraordinary ability or outstanding researchers), EB-2 (advanced degree or exceptional ability, including National Interest Waiver), and EB-3 (skilled workers and professionals). Which category fits depends on your credentials, job offer, and whether an employer will sponsor PERM. We map those facts before filing — we do not promise a particular category or result.
Do you handle PERM labor certification for Dallas employers?
Yes. We handle PERM for Dallas-area employers: prevailing wage, recruitment, and DOL filing for EB-2 and EB-3 cases. After certification, the I-140 is often filed with the Texas Service Center. Timelines vary by category and agency workload; we do not quote a fixed USCIS processing time.
Can you help with marriage-based green cards for Dallas couples?
Yes. We prepare I-130/I-485 marriage-based cases for DFW couples, including bona fide marriage evidence. Interviews, when required, are typically at the USCIS Dallas Field Office rather than at the Texas Service Center.
Where are Dallas green card cases filed and interviewed?
Many employment-based I-140 petitions are filed with the Texas Service Center. Adjustment interviews and some family-based appointments, when required, are typically at the USCIS Dallas Field Office. The split depends on case type; we file to the correct location for your petition.
