About US
The Law Office of Laurel Scott, PLLC is located in Texas with a satellite office in Missouri. The Missouri office only handles immigration cases. The Texas office handles trusts and estates and immigration, with an emphasis on the former.
The trusts and estates section of the firm does simple wills and revocable trusts at a low cost for middle class and working class families.
The immigration section of the firm does a
particular type of case known as the I-601 waiver of inadmissibility for the spouse of a citizen
who has been denied a visa to the United States despite being married to a US citizen, usually
because of prior immigration violations or criminal history. These types of cases are difficult
not only because approval is discretionary - i.e. you have to show that the applicant "deserves"
a visa despite the grounds of inadmissibility - but also because the filing procedures are constantly
changing and because the procedures vary from consulate to consulate. .
The immigration section of the firm also handles naturalization cases and family immigration cases that do not involve a waiver, such as adjustment of status through marriage, fiance(e) visas, removal of conditions of permanent residence, and immediate relative family petitions.
Please note that the firm does not handle business immigration, asylum, VAWA, TPS, removal defense, or nonimmigrant visas (except K visas).
