Orlando Immigration Services We Provide

Family-Based Immigration

Family immigration forms the foundation of the U.S. immigration system. Our Orlando immigration law firm assists families throughout Central Florida with family-based green card applications, including petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.

We handle CR-1 and IR-1 spouse visas for married couples, guiding clients through the complex consular processing requirements. For engaged couples, we provide comprehensive assistance with K-1 fiancé visa applications, ensuring proper documentation and preparation for consular interviews.

Our family immigration services also include adjustment of status applications for eligible individuals already present in the United States, helping families unite without the need for international travel.

Business and Employment Immigration

Orlando's thriving business community requires sophisticated immigration solutions for international talent and investors. We provide comprehensive business immigration services, including H-1B specialty occupation visas for skilled professionals, L-1A executive and manager visas for multinational companies, and E-2 treaty investor visas for qualifying foreign nationals investing in U.S. businesses.

Our employment-based services extend to permanent residency applications, including EB-1 priority worker petitions for individuals with extraordinary abilities, EB-2 advanced degree professional applications, and EB-3 skilled worker petitions.

Investor Immigration

Central Florida's growing economy attracts international investors seeking immigration opportunities through business investment. We assist qualified investors with EB-5 investor visa applications, providing guidance on investment requirements, regional center selections, and the path to permanent residency through job creation.

Our investor immigration practice also includes E-2 treaty investor visas for foreign nationals from treaty countries who wish to invest substantial capital in U.S. enterprises while maintaining the flexibility of non-immigrant status.

Consular Processing for Orlando Area Families

Consular processing represents an alternative pathway to permanent residency for qualified family members residing outside the United States. Many Orlando area families choose consular processing when beneficiaries are abroad and wish to complete their immigrant visa processing at U.S. consulates in their home countries.

Our consular processing services include comprehensive case preparation, document gathering and review, preparation for consular interviews, and coordination with National Visa Center processing requirements. We work closely with families to ensure proper preparation for this critical phase of the immigration process.
