Immigration Law
U.S. Immigration laws are complex and change often. The Attorney for Students Office is here to help Bobcats understand their rights and responsibilities under the law with respect to their current immigration status or ability to change their status.
REMEMBER: IMMIGRATION LAW IS COMPLEX AND COMPLICATED AND APPLIES DIFFERENTLY TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE DEPENDING ON STATUS AND OTHER FACTORS. IF YOU HAVE AN IMMIGRATION QUESTION OR ANOTHER LEGAL ISSUE THAT COULD AFFECT YOUR LEGAL STATUS, CALL OUR OFFICE AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY.
It is important to keep your address up to date at all times. To change your address with USCIS, use form AR-11.
TXST MONARCH CENTER is a virtual hub, streamlining communications and access to immigration resources, programs, and research available to all Texas State students.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Be advised that a notary ("notario") or paralegal is not authorized to practice law in the United States. In fact, it is against the law for a non-attorney to give legal counsel and advice. Many of these unauthorized "notaries" and "paralegals" operating on their own often provide inaccurate, incomplete, or completely fraudulent information to immigration on behalf of the immigrant. Ultimately, it will be the immigrant who is held responsible and denied the benefit sought.
Certain criminal convictions may affect your non-citizen status or ability to acquire legal status at a later time, so it's important to speak to an attorney any time you have contact with the criminal justice system.
All forms are available for free on the USCIS website. Please do not pay for forms related to your immigration case.
