Many green card applicants in Austin file Form I-485 on their own. The steps are known, and a lawyer is not required. But some cases are not simple, and a mistake can cost time or lead to a denial.

You may want an Austin immigration lawyer if you had a visa problem in the past, a criminal record, a prior denial, or removal proceedings. A lawyer can also help you plan the timing. The civil surgeon must sign your Form I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.

How we ranked these immigration lawyers

We collected immigration lawyer results from Google Maps around Austin and removed government offices and unrelated businesses. Each listing gets a score based on its Google rating, adjusted for the number of reviews so a few 5-star reviews do not outrank hundreds of strong ones. Listings that also show up in Google's top results get a small boost. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and never change the ranked list. Read our editorial policy.

Immigration lawyers in Austin: FAQs

Do I need a lawyer to get a green card in Austin?

No. A lawyer is not required for a green card. Many people file on their own and do fine. A lawyer can help when the case is complex, such as a past visa problem, a criminal record, a prior denial, or removal proceedings. Talk to a lawyer if you are unsure about your history.

What should I ask an Austin immigration lawyer before I hire them?

Ask if they handle adjustment of status cases like yours. Ask who will work on your file and how they share updates. Ask what they need from you and what the next steps look like. Ask about their experience with cases like yours. Get the answers in writing before you pay.

Can an Austin lawyer help with the I-693 medical exam?

Only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon can do the exam and sign Form I-693. A lawyer cannot. A lawyer can explain the timing rule and help you find a civil surgeon using the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool. Keep the sealed envelope closed and give it to USCIS with your Form I-485.
