Frequently Asked Questions

What are my options if I'm facing deportation?

Depending on your history, options may include asking the court to end the case, applying for relief such as cancellation of removal, asylum, or a green card, or requesting a waiver. The right path depends on how long you have been in the U.S., your family ties, and any criminal history. The Modi Law Firm, PLLC can review your case and explain which defenses may apply. Learn more about deportation defense in Houston.

How do I find a family member who was detained by ICE?

Start with the ICE online detainee locator, which can search by A-number and country of birth, or by full name, date of birth, and country of birth. Because the system can take a few days to update, call the nearest detention facility if your loved one does not appear, and speak with an attorney as soon as possible. See our detention FAQs and deportation defense page for next steps.

How long does a marriage green card take in 2026?

Timelines vary widely in 2026 based on whether your spouse is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, whether you are inside or outside the U.S., and which USCIS office handles your case. Many cases take a year or more, and some categories take much longer. The Modi Law Firm, PLLC can review your situation and explain what to expect. Read more about family immigration.

Can I apply for a green card if I overstayed my visa or entered the U.S. illegally?

Possibly. Some immediate relatives of U.S. citizens who were legally admitted may still be able to apply from inside the U.S. after an overstay, while people who entered without inspection often face added hurdles and may need a waiver. Leaving the country can trigger multi-year bars, so get legal advice before you travel or file. See our Green Card page for more.

Can I still qualify for asylum under the latest 2026 policies?

Asylum is still available under U.S. law, but 2026 policy changes have affected how cases are filed, reviewed, and handled, including work permit rules. The one-year filing deadline still applies in most cases, with limited exceptions. Because the rules are shifting, get case-specific advice before you file. Learn more on our Asylum page.

Do you offer consultations in Spanish or Gujarati?

Yes. The Modi Law Firm, PLLC offers services in Spanish and Gujarati, so you can discuss your case in the language you are most comfortable with. Call (832) 514-4030 to get started, or visit our Spanish-language page.
