Immigration Help in Dallas, Texas
Immigration is federal law, so the agencies handling your case in Dallas are national ones — USCIS for benefits like green cards and citizenship, and the immigration court (EOIR) for removal proceedings. Here's where those offices are for Dallas, plus how to get matched with a local immigration attorney.

Immigration is federal law and policy changes frequently. This is general information, not legal advice — for your specific case, talk to a qualified immigration attorney or an accredited nonprofit.
In Dallas, two different federal systems may be involved — and they’re in two different cities:
- USCIS handles benefits — applications like a green card, citizenship and naturalization, and green card renewal. The field office that serves Dallas is actually in Irving.
- The immigration court (EOIR) handles removal (deportation) proceedings and applications for relief such as asylum, in downtown Dallas.
So a benefits appointment and a court hearing can be in different places — always confirm yours on the appointment notice or Notice to Appear. To get matched with a Dallas immigration attorney, connect with a lawyer.
Federal immigration offices serving Dallas

Immigration court (EOIR): The Dallas Immigration Court hears removal cases in downtown Dallas.
The two federal offices are in different cities: USCIS interviews are in Irving, while the immigration court is in downtown Dallas.
