Common Immigration Services for Families in Homestead

We handle a broad range of immigration matters. Whether you’re from Haiti, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, Cuba, or anywhere else, our attorneys understand your concerns and your options.

Here’s how we help:

  • Green cards and permanent residency
    We assist with family-sponsored green cards, marriage-based petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, and waivers of inadmissibility.
  • Deportation defense
    Being placed in removal proceedings is frightening, but you still have rights. We fight deportation through cancellation of removal, asylum, and other available legal relief.
  • Citizenship and naturalization
    We walk clients through the naturalization process, including help preparing for the English and civics tests and understanding eligibility issues like past arrests or prolonged absences from the country.
  • Asylum and humanitarian protections
    If you’re fleeing violence, political persecution, or danger in your home country, we’ll help you apply for asylum, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), or other humanitarian protections.
  • Family-based petitions
    We help U.S. citizens and green card holders bring spouses, children, parents, and siblings to the United States legally and efficiently.
  • Work authorization and employment-based visas
    We represent skilled workers, agricultural laborers, and professionals with visa petitions and renewals, including those facing delays or requests for evidence (RFEs).
  • Special protections: VAWA, U-visas, DACA
    Victims of domestic violence or serious crimes, and young immigrants who arrived as children, may qualify for protection. We handle these delicate cases with compassion and discretion.

What’s Changing in Immigration in 2025

Immigration remains a hot-button issue across the country, and Florida is no exception. New state laws have placed more pressure on undocumented workers and limited certain public services. At the same time, federal policy shifts have opened doors for new humanitarian protections and work-based options.

Homestead residents—many of whom work in agriculture and construction—are often the first to feel these changes. Delays in processing, stricter ID requirements, and increased scrutiny are making immigration help more necessary than ever.

But there is also hope. Programs such as TPS renewals, DACA preservation, and updates to asylum protocols are offering relief to thousands. If you’re unsure where you stand, now is the time to speak with a qualified immigration attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I still apply for DACA in 2025?
DACA is currently being preserved for renewals, but first-time applications remain in legal limbo due to ongoing court challenges. If you already have DACA, you can renew it. If you’re a first-time applicant, contact us to discuss your eligibility and alternatives.

2. How long does it take to bring a spouse or child from another country?
The wait time varies based on your immigration status and the country of origin. U.S. citizens generally have shorter wait times than green card holders. Some countries have longer backlogs. We can provide a realistic timeline during your consultation.

3. What happens if I miss an immigration court date?
Missing a court hearing can lead to an automatic removal order. If this happens, it may still be possible to reopen your case, but you must act immediately. Contact a lawyer right away to review your options.
