Are You in Removal Proceedings?
If you are currently in removal (deportation) proceedings, you may still apply for asylum through the defensive process. This process involves requesting asylum as a defense against removal before an immigration judge with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
You may find yourself in removal proceedings if:
- You were denied asylum through the affirmative process.
- You were detained at a U.S. port of entry or the border without proper documentation.
- You were placed in expedited removal but demonstrated a credible fear of persecution.
Our firm provides strong and compassionate legal representation in immigration court, ensuring that your story is heard and your rights are protected.
We Explore Every Legal Option for Your Case
You may qualify for asylum or refugee status if you have suffered persecution — or fear future persecution — because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Because U.S. asylum law changes frequently, it’s essential to have an attorney who stays current on the law and can find the best possible path for your situation.
At the Law Office of Mark Kinzler, P.C., we are committed to evaluating every option available to you. Even if a judge or another attorney has told you there is no solution, Attorney Mark Kinzler has extensive experience helping clients find lawful ways to remain in the United States.

Naturalization And Citizenship
Become a U.S. Citizen with Help from an Austin Immigration Attorney
If you were born in the United States, you’re already a U.S. citizen. If your parents are U.S. citizens and you were born abroad, they can apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and a U.S. passport to confirm your citizenship.
If you weren’t born a citizen, you may still qualify through your parents’ citizenship or the naturalization process.
What Is Naturalization?
Naturalization is how immigrants become U.S. citizens through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You may be eligible if you:
- Are 18 or older
- Have been a green card holder for 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen)
- Have served in the U.S. military for at least one year
While you can apply on your own, working with an experienced Austin immigration lawyer can make the process smoother and more successful.
Call 512-402-7999 or contact the Law Office of Mark Kinzler, P.C. online to schedule a consultation.
Were You Told You Couldn’t Naturalize? You Might Still Qualify.
Even if you were told you can’t become a citizen, Attorney Mark Kinzler may be able to help. USCIS considers factors such as good moral character, continuous residence, and English/civics test results.
Certain military service exceptions may also apply.
With over 15 years of experience, Mark Kinzler has helped clients across Texas successfully achieve citizenship through naturalization.
