From illegal to legal immigrant status

Helping You Transition From Undocumented To Legal Status

Navigating the U.S. immigration system is often complex and overwhelming, especially for those currently undocumented. At Driggs Immigration Law, we are committed to helping individuals in Sugar Land, TX, and surrounding areas, including the greater southwest quadrant of Houston, move toward legal status. Our team brings nearly 30 years of dedicated service in immigration law, ensuring clients receive reliable guidance to make informed decisions about their future.

Understanding Your Legalization Options

For many, discovering they are undocumented or “out of status” can be daunting. The reasons behind such situations vary widely, from unintentional lapses to misunderstandings about the requirements. Regardless of your unique circumstances, Driggs Immigration Law is here to help you find a path toward legalization, so you can stay in the U.S. legally and securely.

Key Areas Of Legalization We Handle

DACA (Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals): If you were brought to the United States as a child and meet specific criteria, you may qualify for DACA. This status provides a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. We assist you in determining your eligibility and preparing your application for the best chance of success.

Inadmissible Persons: Situations involving misrepresentation or errors in the immigration process can lead to an “inadmissible” status. Many cases arise from honest mistakes or misunderstandings. We help individuals navigate these challenges, exploring waivers and other options to rectify their standing.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS): If you are a foreign national from a country experiencing ongoing armed conflict, natural disaster, or other extreme conditions, you may qualify for TPS. This status allows eligible individuals to live and work in the U.S. for a limited period. Our team can guide you through the application process and ensure you meet all required criteria.

Deportation Proceedings: Facing deportation can be one of the most stressful experiences imaginable. If you are undocumented, have lost immigration status, or have committed specific offenses, you risk removal from the U.S. We are dedicated to providing strong representation, assessing your case to develop strategic defenses.

Out-Of-Status Persons: Violations related to visa conditions can result in a change to “out of status,” potentially leading to cancellation and deportation. Whether due to expired documentation or other issues, we assist clients in addressing these situations to explore pathways to restore or obtain legal status.

Previously Deported Individuals: If you have been deported, options for reentry can be limited but not impossible. We work with you to identify any available legal avenues for returning to the U.S. and reestablishing lawful status.
