WHAT IS A BOARD CERTIFIED
IMMIGRATION & NATIONALITY LAW ATTORNEY?
An attorney who is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
in Immigration and Nationality Law, must have advised clients to
their rights to live and work in the United States under appropriate
non-immigrant visa or lawful permanent resident status. In addition,
the licensed attorney must prepare the necessary documentation to
secure these rights. Also, the attorney must have prepared and filed
appropriate visa petitions to obtain and retain U.S citizenship
and must have represented clients in deportation and other administrative
hearings.
To become Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law, an
attorney must have:
* Been licensed to practice law for at least five years.
* Devoted a required percentage of practice to immigration and nationality
law for at least three years.
* Handled a wide variety of immigration and nationality law matters
to demonstrate experience and involvement.
* Attended immigration and nationality law continuing education
seminars to keep legal training up to date.
* Been evaluated by fellow lawyers and judges.
* Passed a day long written examination.
Initial certification is valid for a period of five years. To remain
certified, an attorney must apply for re-certification every five
years and meet practice peer reviews and continuing legal education
requirements in the field.
The consumer can identify an Immigration and Nationality Law Board
Certified attorney in one of many ways. An Immigration and Nationality
Law Board Certified attorney is entitled to indicate certification
on business cards and letterhead by stating, "Board Certified
in Immigration and Nationality Law, Texas Board of Legal Specialization."
The attorney may also display the certificate in legal directories
and telephone listings under "Attorneys-Board Certified."
