Navigating same-sex marriage within immigration law demands expertise from a specialized firm. Discover how our Miami LGBT attorney can support and guide you through your case.
LGBTQ+ couples often face an uphill battle when dealing with their immigration cases. There are many laws and regulations to work around that can be quite complicated to anyone who does not work in the legal field.
Rolando Casais, Jr. serves as our primary Miami LGBT attorney and holds a key position on the Board of Directors for the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and is Vice Chair of the their Budget and By-Laws Committee. With over a decade of experience, Mr. Casais is well-equipped with the skills necessary to handle these cases effectively. He’ll guide you through government-required interviews to ensure the legitimacy of your case. Here are some of the ways we can assist you.
Our Firm Can File For Petitions
If you are married and want to file an immediate relative petition for your spouse, we can help. These types of petitions can be for same-sex couples and essentially allow your spouse to skip over the waiting period associated with acquiring a visa.
By working with us, you can know that we have you and your spouse’s best interest in mind and will efficiently move you through the filing process to ensure the timely submission of your petition.
We Can Guide You Through A Status Adjustment
Another scenario frequently encountered by LGBTQ+ couples involves the Adjustment of Status. This process is for foreign nationals already residing in the United States seeking a Green Card, granting them permanent residency without exiting the country. Fulfilling eligibility criteria, providing necessary documentation, and undergoing a USCIS interview are essential steps. Seeking advice from an immigration attorney is crucial to navigate specific requirements and explore alternatives in case of ineligibility. In such situations, one partner in the same-sex relationship might already be living in the U.S. but requires a green card to secure residency.
We Can Help You Apply For Visas Or Residency
Applying for a visa or residency is a complex process that same-sex couples often face. There are multiple visas that you or your spouse can apply for including:
The details of these visas differ, though each one is available for same-sex couples. In order to correctly apply for any of the visas listed above, you will need help from a law firm with experience in the area of LGBT law.
Our law firm has served the Miami area for over ten years. We have helped many same-sex couples to overcome the challenges associated with filing for these visas and would be happy to assist you and your spouse. Here is what one of our clients had to say about working with us:
