There are over 20 types of visas, including immigrant visas for individuals who intend to make a permanent home in the U.S. and nonimmigrant visas for those visiting or living here on a temporary basis. To determine the exact visa that best suits your circumstances, please speak with a Jacksonville immigration lawyer from our law firm.
We represent individuals and families in a wide range of immigration matters, including both non-immigrant visas (such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and temporary stays) and immigrant visas (for permanent residency). Whether you’re seeking to enter the U.S. for work, study, or family reunification, or need help with a more urgent legal issue like removal or appeals, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.
If you’re already in the U.S. and eligible to apply for a green card, we can help you transition from a temporary visa to permanent resident status without leaving the country.
We support lawful permanent residents in pursuing U.S. citizenship through naturalization, including help with N-400 applications, civics test prep, and interview guidance.
We guide U.S. citizens and permanent residents through the process of sponsoring spouses, children, parents, and siblings for immigration, starting with the I-130 petition.
Bringing your future spouse to the U.S. requires strict documentation and tight timelines. We help you file and follow through with the K-1 visa process, adjustment of status, and eventual green card application after marriage.
Whether through marriage, employment, or a family relationship, we assist clients with initial green card applications, renewals, and removal of conditions for conditional residents.
For professionals, investors, and business owners seeking to enter or remain in the U.S. for economic reasons, we offer assistance with a range of employment-based visa options, including E-2, H-1B, and other non-immigrant categories. We assist with a variety of temporary visa applications, including:
Active-duty service members, veterans, and their families may qualify for expedited citizenship, deferred action, or other benefits. We are proud to serve those who have served.
We represent survivors of domestic violence seeking lawful status under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), helping clients file self-petitions with compassion and discretion.
If you or someone you love has been detained by immigration authorities or placed in removal proceedings, time is critical. We represent clients in bond hearings, removal defense, cancellation of removal, asylum proceedings, and other immigration matters.
If your case has been denied or delayed, we can review your options and pursue appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or motions to reopen or reconsider based on new evidence or legal errors.
