Immigration Services We Handle in Plano, TX
Adjustment of Status (Form I-485)
Attorney Phan Nguyen helps Plano residents apply for lawful permanent residence through adjustment of status.

K-1 Fiancé Visas
The K-1 fiancé visa allows U.S. citizens to bring their foreign-born fiancé(e) to the United States for marriage within 90 days of arrival. The process begins with a petition filed with USCIS and continues through consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Attorney Phan Nguyen handles K-1 filings for Plano clients from the initial petition through the adjustment of status that typically follows the wedding, so you can focus on building your life together rather than tracking government timelines.
Family-Based Immigration
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can sponsor certain family members for visas and green cards through family-based immigration petitions. The applicable process and waiting period vary significantly depending on the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary, as well as the beneficiary's country of birth. This office helps Plano families understand which category applies to their situation, what the realistic timeline looks like, and how to file petitions correctly the first time to avoid delays.
Green Card Renewal and Removal of Conditions (Form I-751)
If you received a conditional two-year green card through marriage, you must file Form I-751 during the 90-day window before it expires to remove those conditions. Failing to file in time can result in automatic loss of lawful permanent resident status. Attorney Phan Nguyen prepares and files I-751 petitions for Plano clients and can advise on waiver options for those who no longer meet the joint-filing requirement due to divorce, abuse, or the death of a spouse.
Provisional Waivers (Form I-601A)
Certain individuals who have accrued unlawful presence in the United States may be eligible to apply for a provisional unlawful presence waiver before departing for consular processing abroad. Approved in advance, the waiver allows applicants to seek forgiveness stateside before leaving, which significantly reduces the risk of extended separation from family. Attorney Phan Nguyen helps Plano clients assess eligibility and build the most complete, well-supported waiver application possible.
Deportation and Removal Defense
If you or a family member has received a Notice to Appear or is currently in removal proceedings, immediate legal representation is critical. Attorney Phan Nguyen represents Plano clients in immigration court, evaluating every available avenue of relief including cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, voluntary departure, and adjustment-based defenses. Do not attend an immigration court hearing in Texas without an attorney present — the stakes are too high and the procedural requirements too specific.
VAWA Self-Petition
Survivors of domestic violence who are or were married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may be able to self-petition for immigration status under the Violence Against Women Act, without the abuser's knowledge or participation. USCIS treats VAWA petitions with strict confidentiality protections. Attorney Phan Nguyen handles these cases with the sensitivity, discretion, and careful preparation they require, ensuring that evidence is properly documented and that clients understand their options at every stage.
