Attorney in Miami: Family-Based Immigration
Protecting Your Rights Since 1990
If you are trying to get temporary or permanent residency status in the United States through a family-based visa, it is critical that you hire an experienced lawyer to help you with the process. Without an attorney, your application can be delayed, stalled or misplaced by immigration officials. An experienced lawyer will know how to keep your application on track, so that it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
At the law office of M.J. Louis, I work closely with people throughout south Florida who need assistance with family-based immigration matters. As an immigrant myself, I understand the anxiety that you face when your future is uncertain. I will work directly with you throughout the process. I encourage you to call me personally when you have questions or concerns. I will promptly return your calls, within 24 hours if possible.

My Family-Based Immigration Practice
If you are a foreign national seeking temporary or permanent residency in the United States, you may be worried about what immigration officials will ask and do when you attempt to get a family-based visa. Will they come to your house and see how you live? Will they look at your tax returns to determine how much you make and whether you can support yourself or a spouse? Will they pry into your personal life?
I will listen carefully to all your questions and help ease your fears, providing answers and fighting to protect your interests.
I handle all types of family-based immigration applications, including:
- marriage visa/adjustment cases. I will help you apply for and obtain residency or a green card if you are a foreign national who has married an American citizen. Typically, this process can take over a year to complete.
- cases involving foreign parents of U.S. citizens. If you were born in the United States, you are an American citizen. I handle all matters for U.S. citizens who seek residency status for foreign parents.
- cases involving foreign children of U.S. citizens. If you have become an American citizen, I will help you apply for residency status for a foreign born child.
- cases involving siblings. You can apply for a visa for a brother or sister. I can help you with this process, though it can often take years to complete.
