Partner with a Qualified Family Immigration Lawyer

Attorney Otwell is a seasoned family-based immigration lawyer serving Irving, TX, and surrounding areas.

You may want to consult a family immigration lawyer for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Visa Questions – If you’re currently in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa, such as a student (F-1) or work visa (H-1B), you might be unsure how a marriage or qualifying family relationship affects your status. Attorney Otwell can evaluate your eligibility for a family-based petition and help you transition to lawful permanent residency through Form I-130 and related filings.
  • Application Delays or Denials – Have you filed a petition or application and never heard back? Or perhaps you received a denial or request for additional evidence. We’ll help you understand the issue, respond to USCIS effectively, and explore options like motions to reopen or appeals, if appropriate.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable family immigration attorney who handles cases with care and efficiency, schedule a consultation with our office today.

We’ll Help You Through Any Issue that May Arise

The first step in most family-based immigration cases is filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relatives. If your family member is already in the U.S. and meets eligibility criteria, they may be able to file Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) at the same time. This is known as concurrent filing. If your relative is abroad, the process will proceed through consular processing. Each route has different timelines, evidence requirements, and potential pitfalls.

Working with an experienced immigration lawyer​ can help you avoid mistakes that delay or jeopardize your case. Attorney Otwell will help you understand the process and handle all paperwork, communication, and documentation requirements. With years of experience behind her, she brings both skill and strategy to your case.

Our firm also assists with K-1 fiancé visas, removal of conditions on residence (Form I-751), and visa waivers. If you live in Irving, TX, Grand Prairie, Arlington, or a nearby area, contact the Law Office of Randi Megan Otwell today to get started. Let’s move your family forward—together.
