⚠ Common Client Situations
If Any of This Sounds Like Your Situation, It May Be Time to Speak With an Immigration Attorney
Immigration situations are highly personal and time-sensitive. Identify the situation that describes what you are facing right now:
Or maybe you simply know that your current immigration situation cannot stay unresolved forever.
If any of these situations sound familiar, the most important thing is to understand that immigration cases are highly individual. What worked for someone else may not work for you. And what looks impossible from the outside may still deserve a proper legal review.
🛡️ Critical Legal Reality
Your Immigration Case Is More Than Just Filling Out the Right Form
One of the most dangerous assumptions people make about immigration law is believing that the process is simply paperwork. It is not.
That is why two people can appear to have nearly identical situations but have very different legal options.
Some people try to navigate the process themselves. Others follow advice from a friend or family member whose situation was completely different. Some spend weeks searching online trying to understand which form they need to file. And others simply wait because they are afraid of what an attorney might tell them.
The problem is that waiting does not create clarity.
And submitting the wrong application or making decisions without understanding the legal consequences can make an already complicated situation even harder.
The first step should not be guessing.
The first step should be understanding your case.
At Moma Immigration Law Firm, that is where we begin.

Firsthand Lived Experience
An Immigration Firm That Understands This Process From Both Sides
Your Attorney Has Personally Been Through the Immigration System
Attorney Terence Moma Ndeh did not become interested in immigration law only by studying it. He came to the United States from Cameroon and personally went through the U.S. asylum process before becoming an immigration attorney.
That experience shapes how Moma Immigration Law Firm works with its clients today. Because behind every immigration file is a person wondering what happens to their future. Someone trying to remain safe. Someone trying to build a stable life.
When you explain what you are going through, you are speaking with a firm led by someone who understands that uncertainty personally.
Immigration Is Our Focus
Immigration law is not a side service added onto an unrelated practice. It is what Moma Immigration Law Firm focuses on. That means the firm's work revolves around understanding immigration processes, changing circumstances, and the details that can affect a person's ability to remain in the United States.
We Keep Clients Informed
One of the biggest frustrations people experience with law firms is silence. They hire someone. Weeks pass. They do not know what is happening. Moma Immigration Law Firm was built around a more personal relationship with regular follow-ups, tracking key case developments, and staying ahead of court deadlines. You should not feel like a number.
Flexible Payment Plans Available
We understand that hiring an immigration attorney can feel financially overwhelming. That is why Moma Immigration Law Firm offers payment-plan options that may allow qualified clients to spread legal fees over time rather than paying everything at once. Your situation should be reviewed before assuming professional representation is out of reach.
Based in Texas. Helping Clients Nationwide.
Moma Immigration Law Firm is based in Dallas, but immigration law is federal. The firm can work with immigration clients beyond Dallas and across the entire United States. Whether you are in Dallas, Houston, elsewhere in Texas, California, New York, or Florida, location alone will not prevent our firm from assisting.
Honest Case Evaluation
Not every immigration situation has the same answer. And no responsible immigration attorney should promise the outcome of your case before understanding the facts. Our goal is to understand your situation, review relevant information, and explain what potential options may exist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear Answers to Your Immigration Questions
Our team understands that navigating the complex U.S. legal system brings up urgent questions. Here is what you need to know:
How long does it take to get a Green Card?
The timeline for a Green Card (Lawful Permanent Residency) varies significantly depending on your category. Family-based petitions for immediate relatives (spouses and minor children) of U.S. citizens typically take 6 to 12 months. Other family preference categories or employment-based processes may take longer depending on visa bulletin priority dates.
Can I apply for a Green Card while on a temporary visa?
Yes, this process is known as Adjustment of Status. If you are already lawfully present in the United States on a valid non-immigrant status (such as a visitor, student F-1, or work visa) and become eligible through marriage or family, you may be eligible to adjust without leaving the country. Specific legal rules and intent requirements must be carefully observed.
What is the difference between a Green Card and Citizenship?
A Green Card grants you permanent residency, but your status can still be jeopardized by certain criminal convictions or prolonged absences outside the United States. Citizenship (Naturalization) grants you a U.S. passport, the right to vote in federal elections, and absolute protection from deportation.
Can a Green Card holder be deported?
Yes. Permanent residents can face removal proceedings if convicted of certain crimes involving moral turpitude, controlled substance violations, or aggravated felonies, or if the government claims you abandoned your U.S. residence by remaining abroad for extended periods.
What should I do if my visa application or petition was denied?
Do not panic, but act immediately. You may be eligible to file a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider, appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), or submit a corrected, thoroughly documented reapplication before deadlines expire.
Do I have to live in Texas to work with Moma Immigration Law Firm?
No. Immigration law is strictly federal law. Moma Immigration Law Firm is based in Dallas, Texas, but represents clients across California, New York, Florida, Maryland, and all 50 states in USCIS petitions and immigration court hearings.
