Achieving “the American dream” is the hope of many – to live in, work in, raise a family in, and enjoy the opportunities that the U.S. has to offer to legal residents and citizens. However, immigration laws are constantly changing and the process is one of the most difficult legal processes to navigate.

That’s why it is in your best interests – and your family’s – to work with Fort Lauderdale immigration lawyers who can advocate for you and ensure that you have the best chances at the outcome you want!

Types Of Immigration Cases We Frequently Handle

Immigration is a scope of legal practice that encompasses many different specific types of issues related to noncitizens. Our law firm often assists clients with securing the following:

Asylum – 

Asylum is an immigration status designed to protect noncitizens whose lives would be in danger if they were to return to their home countries – it gives them the right to live in the U.S. as long as that status is active, and also provides a path for asylum holders to get green cards and become citizens. If you can prove that war, famine, political persecution, religious persecution, or something else threatens you personally, or if your country has Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by the U.S. government, then you may be able to apply for asylum! The process is even more complex than other forms of immigration, which is why you need Fort Lauderdale immigration lawyers who are experienced and who can guide you every step of the way to your desired result. 

Family-Based Petitions (Including Fiance Visas & More) – 

Becoming separated from family members is one of the harshest and most difficult realities of immigration, but it doesn’t have to be that way for long with the right attorneys on your side. If you are living in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident, or if you are a citizen, you can likely sponsor family members (including a fiance) with a family-based petition. There are many different forms designed for parents, spouses, children, siblings, and other family members (including Form I-130, Form DS-117, Form I-485, Form I-765, Form I-864, and others). The Santos Law Offices, P.A., can help you determine what form best suits you and your family’s unique needs! 

Citizenship – 

Becoming a U.S. citizen has many benefits, but is also a challenging, lengthy process. You need to meet eligibility requirements, pass a background test, pass an English and civics test, pass an interview, and fill out extensive paperwork. If you fail any part of the process, or have any marks on your criminal record, you could be denied or have to start over! We will make sure to prevent mistakes and prepare you with all of the resources you need to succeed.
