For many families in Texas, the immigration process is not just about paperwork—it’s about staying together, building a future, and protecting the people you love. Unfortunately, the path to legal status is rarely simple. At Peek Law Group in San Antonio, we work with families facing profoundly personal and complex immigration challenges daily. Understanding the most common obstacles can help you better prepare and take steps to overcome them.
How Peek Law Group Helps Families Stay Together and Move Forward
Lengthy Delays and Processing Backlogs
One of the most widespread challenges families face is the long wait time for visa approvals or green cards. Whether you’re petitioning for a spouse, child, or parent, delays caused by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) backlogs, shifting priority dates, or missing documentation can stretch an already emotional process into a years-long ordeal.
In Texas, which receives a high volume of immigration petitions, these delays can be even more pronounced. Our attorneys help ensure your forms are complete, accurate, and submitted correctly to avoid unnecessary holdups, and we monitor your case every step of the way.
Mixed-Status Families
Many families in Texas include members with different immigration statuses—some may be U.S. citizens, others undocumented, and still others holding temporary visas or DACA protections. This creates legal uncertainty, especially when one member faces removal proceedings or is ineligible to adjust status under current law.
Navigating options like waivers, adjustment of status, or family-based petitions requires careful legal strategy. At Peek Law Group, we help families understand their rights and develop a roadmap to protect and unify their household.
Fear of Deportation
The fear of detention or deportation looms large for many Texas families—especially for those with undocumented members or who’ve been placed in removal proceedings. Even minor interactions with law enforcement can have serious immigration consequences, leading to separation from loved ones.
Our experienced immigration attorneys are skilled in removal defense and can represent you in immigration court, seek cancellation of removal, and pursue available relief options to help keep your family intact.
Financial Barriers
Immigration is not just a legal process—it’s a financial one. Filing fees, travel costs, translation services, and time away from work all add up. Many families delay starting the process because of these expenses, only to find themselves in more complicated situations later.
Peek Law Group can help you understand what costs to expect, which options are available for fee waivers, and how to approach the process in financially manageable steps.
Changing Immigration Policies
Immigration laws and policies shift frequently at both the federal and state levels. What was possible last year may no longer be an option today. Families often struggle to keep up with the changes, leading to missed opportunities or misinformed decisions.
Our legal team stays current on every policy change and court ruling that could affect your case—and we use that knowledge to protect your family’s interests.
