We provide these immigration services:
Foreign Nationals Seeking work Visas in the United States
Our firm has experience helping foreign nationals obtain work visas in various industries, including high-tech, healthcare, and more.
We provide legal advice on the immigration process for securing the following:
- H-1B VISA: Also known as the “specialty occupation visa.” Foreign nationals with specialized skills are allowed by this visa to work in the United States for up to six years.
- O-1 VISA and E-B1 VISA: These are available to foreign nationals with extraordinary abilities in their field. O-1 VISA and E-B1 VISA holders can live and work in the United States for up to three years.
- L-1 VISA: This is available to foreign nationals who transferred to a U.S. affiliate of their company. The L-1 VISA allows them to live and work in the United States for up to seven years.
- NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVERS: National interest waivers are available to foreign nationals who can prove that their work demonstrates the national interest of the United States.
- EB-2 VISA: This is available to foreign nationals with extraordinary abilities in their field. The EB-2 VISA allows them to live and work in the United States for up to three years.
Family-Based Immigration and Waivers:
We help clients obtain green cards through family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. We assist with fiancé visas, step-parent visas, and other family-based citizenship and immigration services.
- GREEN CARD: If you want to live and work permanently in the United States, you must obtain a green card. Our Jacksonville immigration attorneys can help you with this process.
- K-1 VISA: If you are engaged to be married to a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible for a K-1 visa, which will allow you to enter the United States to get married. After getting married, you can then apply for a green card.
- IMMEDIATE RELATIVE IMMIGRANT VISAS: If you have a close relative who is a U.S. citizen, you may get an immigrant visa. Close relatives include children, parents, and spouses of U.S. citizens.
- FAMILY PREFERENCE IMMIGRANT VISAS: If you have a family member who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you may apply for a family preference immigrant visa. This includes brothers, sisters, and married children of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
- I-601A PROVISIONAL WAIVER: If you are inadmissible to the United States because of unlawful presence, you may apply for a provisional waiver. The ground for this waiver is extreme hardship to your U.S. citizen, permanent resident spouse, or parent.
- J-1 WAIVERS DEFERRED: If you are in the United States on a J-1 visa, you are eligible for a waiver of the two-year home residency requirement. We also help clients with DACA, which provides certain undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children with protection from deportation and work authorization.
- ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ACTION: If you are in the United States on DACA, you may be eligible for advanced parole, which allows you to travel outside the United States and re-enter without losing your DACA status.
- PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION FROM IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT – STAYS OF REMOVAL: If you face deportation, you may be eligible for prosecutorial discretion, which allows you to stay in the United States. We also help clients with stays of removal, which would enable you to remain in the United States while your case is pending.
Visas for Individuals Seeking Immigration Through Investment
The United States offers numerous opportunities for foreign investors seeking to immigrate. There are several visa programs available, each with its specific requirements. Our Jacksonville immigration attorneys can help you determine which program is right for you and guide you through the application process.
- E-2 VISA: This allows nationals of countries with which the United States has a treaty of commerce and navigation. They can enter the U.S. to develop and direct the operations of a business they have invested in or still investing a substantial amount of capital.
- EB-5 VISA: This allows foreign investors to obtain a green card by investing in a U.S. business that creates or preserves at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
Other Immigration Matters We Handle
Our Jacksonville immigration lawyers have decades of experience and can help you with other immigration matters such as:
Student Visas
If you plan to come to the United States to study, you will need a student visa. F-1 and M-1 are the two types of student visas. The F-1 visa is for academic students, and the M-1 visa is for vocational students. It would be best if you enrolled in a certified SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Program) school to qualify for a student visa.
Asylum
To seek asylum in the United States, you must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country based on one of the five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Removal Proceedings
If you are in the United States without authorization or have committed a crime, you may encounter removal proceedings. An immigration judge conducts the removal proceedings. It can result in your deportation from the United States. Our immigration law office will review your case and refer you to a criminal defense attorney if needed.
Citizenship
You can apply for citizenship if you are a permanent resident of the United States. To qualify for citizenship, you must meet several requirements, including 18 years old or above, owning a green card holder for at least five years, and keeping good moral character.
Naturalization
Naturalization is when a permanent resident of the United States becomes a citizen. To qualify for naturalization, you must meet several requirements, including 18 years old or above, owning a green card for at least five years, and having good moral character.
Obama Executive Orders
If you are a recipient of one of the Obama executive orders (DACA or DAPA), you may be eligible for certain benefits, including work authorization and deferred action.
Labor Certification
The labor certification process ensures no qualified U.S. workers for a particular job. To acquire a labor certification, an employer must test the labor market first by advertising the position. If there are no qualified U.S. workers, the employer can file a labor certification application with the Department of Labor.
