Types Of Immigration Cases We Frequently Handle

“Immigration” is a broad umbrella of legal practice that covers a wide range of different issues. Our law firm can assist clients with the following:

Family-Based Petitions –

Family separation is hard, and if your loved ones are still not able to enter the country or gain legal residency, you may be able to change that with a family-based petition! You may be able to sponsor them for a green card if you are a lawful permanent resident or a U.S. citizen (with Form I-130), or help them in other ways with a fiance visa, returning resident visa (DS-117), employment (I-765), and other forms designed for parents, spouses, children, siblings, etc. We can listen to your story and help you determine what strategy is most likely to help your family reunite and stay together in the U.S.! 

Asylum  – 

If your life would be in danger if you returned to your home country (due to political or religious persecution, war, famine, or other dangers that threaten you personally or everyone in your country), you may be able to apply for either asylum or Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The U.S. designates some countries as having TPS, and citizens of those countries who apply and are accepted can live in the U.S. as long as that status remains. While both TPS and asylum are designed to provide a safe haven, and a path for refugees to eventually get their green cards, getting either status is a complex process; when the stakes are life and death, working with Miami immigration lawyers is critical. 

Citizenship And Naturalization  – 

In order to become a U.S. citizen, you need to meet many specific elibility requirements, submit to a background test, pass an interview, pass an English and civics test, submit many forms, and more. Failing any part of the process may mean you have to start over or file an appeal. Any marks on your criminal record can bring the process to a halt. Our team understands how important this is to you. We can ensure that all the paperwork is correct, that you are prepared for the interview, and that you have the right study materials/resources you need. We can advise you from start to finish!
