Immigration Legal Services

U.S. Visas, Green Cards, and Naturalization Representation

At Ochoa PLLC, we provide immigration legal services to individuals, families, and businesses in Houston and across the U.S. We focus on employment-based immigration, family green cards, investor visas, and naturalization. Whether you’re applying for an EB-2 NIW, pursuing an E-2 investor visa, or sponsoring a spouse for permanent residency, we guide you through the legal process with precision and care.

Paving Your Path to American Citizenship

Citizenship | Naturalization

Naturalization is the final step for lawful permanent residents seeking U.S. citizenship. We assist with the full process—from Form N-400 to the USCIS interview and oath ceremony. Our firm helps you prepare with clarity and confidence every step of the way. 

Supporting Your Family’s Immigration Journey

Family-Based Immigration

We represent U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents seeking to sponsor immediate or eligible family members, including spouses, fiancés, children, parents, and siblings, for lawful permanent residency. 

Powering Global Talent for U.S. Employers and Professionals

Employment-Based Green Cards

We work with skilled workers, professionals, researchers, and U.S. employers to file employment-based green card applications under categories including:

  • EB-1: Individuals of Extraordinary Ability
  • EB-2: Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability
  • EB-2 NIW: National Interest Waiver (Self-petition) 

For Those Who Stand Above the Rest

EB-1 (Extraordinary Ability)

We assist professionals with demonstrated national or international recognition in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics with EB-1 self-petitions, no employer sponsorship required.

Self-Petition for Professionals Benefiting the U.S.

EB-2 (National Interest Waiver)

If you hold an advanced degree or possess exceptional ability, and your work benefits the national interest, the EB-2 NIW pathway may allow you to self-petition for permanent residency. 

Invest in the U.S. Economy and Your Future

EB-5 (Investor Visa)

The EB-5 visa provides permanent residency for foreign investors who contribute to U.S. job creation. We guide clients through source-of-funds documentation, project selection, and USCIS petition compliance. 

Temporary Visas for Business, Talent, and Travel

Nonimmigrant Visas

We advise clients on short-term immigration options including B1/B2, E-1, E-2, L-1, O-1, and TN nonimmigrant visas for trade, investment, intra-company transfers, and extraordinary ability.

Facilitating International Trade with the United States

E-1 Treaty Trader Visa

For nationals of treaty countries engaged in substantial international trade with the U.S. We help prepare strong E-1 visa applications backed by financial and operational documentation. 

Legal Support for Treaty Investors Launching U.S. Enterprises

The E-2 visa allows treaty country investors to legally live and work in the U.S. by investing in a U.S. enterprise. Our Houston immigration law firm helps build strategic E-2 visa petitions for startups, entrepreneurs, and foreign business owners expanding into American markets.

Bringing Key Personnel to U.S. Offices
