John W. Lawit
We help immigrants worldwide in all immigration law matters, from visas to deportation defense and beyond. There are some people who still understand that the United States is a nation built by immigrants. There are some who recognize the contributions that immigrants make to this country every single day.

There are some who stand with immigrants, who protect their rights and who help them find their place in America. At the law offices of John W. Lawit in Irving, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, we have dedicated our lives to standing with immigrants. Our attorneys have a long history of representing immigrants from all over the world who wish to come to the Dallas-Fort Worth area or anywhere else in the United States.
Services
The attorneys and staff at John W. Lawit are dedicated to providing the highest quality legal services to ensure the rights and benefits of the immigrant community. As a team of legal professionals, we provide our clients comprehensive and innovative legal services to promote opportunities for a meaningful quality of life.
The United States has specific processes for those wishing to come to the United States for employment purposes. Employment-based visas are based on knowledge and job skills considered to be of long-term benefit to the U.S. job market. Meanwhile, certain entrepreneurs wishing to invest in the United States may be able to apply for either temporary or permanent visas to remain in the country.
Acquiring a green card through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is one of the most well-known pathways to citizenship. Green card holders have the right to live permanently in the U.S. and work at any job that does not have a security restriction against green card holders. Having a green card also grants you protection by all laws at every level of government in the U.S.
For most foreign-born adults, the only path to U.S. citizenship is by first acquiring a green card and then going through the naturalization process. Certain individuals, however, may be able to claim U.S. citizenship if one of their parents or grandparents was a U.S. citizen.

Whether pursuing citizenship or naturalization, the process can be long and difficult, but with the guidance of an experienced attorney from the law offices of John W. Lawit, you can reach the goal of citizenship with a minimum of stress and worry.With locations in Irving, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, we serve people from all around the globe.
Humanitarian relief is one of the cornerstones of our firm. For decades John W. Lawit has been involved in organizations such as the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and the American Civil Liberties Union. From locations in Irving, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, we have helped families and individuals from around the globe escape persecution and safely remain in the United States.

Very disappointed that this lawyer wouldn't see us without a vaccination and a mask. They violated HIPPA laws by even asking us and not knowing the law. Secondly, we drove 4 hours to see this lawyer and he shut the door in our face. The firm should have notified us of their mask requirements before we drove 4 hours to see them in their email. I wouldn't trust a lawyer who doesn't have confidence in his own mask and vaccination. Very disappointed in his irrational behavior and lack of history and truth regarding the PLANDEMIC.

Hired this Law Firm to file an N600 for US Citizenship and they did a fantastic job tending to my needs. Government is very slow so expect to wait a rather long drawn out process. Please note that this long process is not due to the attorneys office but it’s on the USCIS end being that they are so far behind because of the work load they have. Shout out to everyone involved in my case. I thank you very muvh

My family and I needed an excellent lawyer to handle our case as we were placed in Removal proceedings. Browsing through the internet, we saw John W. Lawit law firm and after reading some great reviews, we were attracted to them and so decided to call. From that single call, they were able to rally their excellent team and we worked tirelessly on our case file and to cut the long story short, we finally won our case. They had the right expertise in place and really made the case go easy. We want to thank them immensely for a job well done. If you need some great asylum attorney here in the United

I hired John W. Lawit for my Adjustment of Status application through my DV lottery. Time played a crucial role in my case since I had to get everything done before the fiscal year of the DV lottery ended. With Covid going on everything took longer and got pushed back. Thanks to Mr. Lawit I was able to obtain my permanent residency and I cannot thank him enough for it. One of, if not, the best immigration attorney out there. I highly recommend him without any reservation.

Amazing law firm.. I was a bit worried when my green card interview was approaching and I was told Mr Lawitt wasn’t going to be available to go with me. I was assigned another attorney Asma who was equally very competent, such a sweet lady. My green card was approved a day after my interview. Top notch service. Thank you very much

The Best Choice I could have made was to call John Lawit. My fiancé at the time was a Mexican citizen but I was unsure off all the paperwork and logistics that was involved so we could get married legally. All it took was that one phone call and they handled the rest! Mr. Lawit and his staff were so helpful and easy to deal with and they made everything go so smooth from filing all the paperwork to being there when we had our immigration hearing. My wife just received her green card and I can say without a doubt that it would not have happened like it did without them.

John is a real, honest, caring, diligent, relentless, and passionate lawyer. In a world where shady immigration lawyers is almost the norm, it's such a relief to have met John. He was able to provide me with detailed advice on the potential risks and options I have regarding my case and for this I am extremely grateful. In my case it was a long wait due to the system backlog and at times we will be impatient but even talking to him once is comforting. He empathizes amazingly well. He was extremely thorough and detailed. His knowledge of the immigration law is vast. His staff is warm and compassionate
