How to IMMIGRATE?

_____________________________________________________

If you have already decided to move to the United States, our primary recommendation is to hire a U.S.-licensed immigration attorney to represent you in your application. Hiring a company that is not a law firm can jeopardize your case.

It is important to remember that a visa or green card application is a legal process of an administrative nature. Therefore, only a U.S.-licensed attorney with extensive knowledge and experience in U.S. immigration law will be able to prepare an application that complies not only with the law but also with the expected practices followed by immigration officers.

Immigration law is vast, covering hundreds of laws, regulations, executive orders, memoranda, officer guidelines, binding precedents, and other administrative and regulatory acts. Navigating this legal bureaucracy is already a challenge for an experienced U.S. attorney, let alone for the applicant or a non-U.S. attorney.

Why Hire a U.S. Immigration Attorney?

An experienced, well-trained, and U.S.-licensed attorney is the only professional qualified to:
✔ Develop the best legal strategies for every sensitive aspect of your case.
✔ Draft legal arguments clearly and effectively, ensuring the immigration officer fully understands your profile and plans.
✔ Collect and prepare the most relevant and effective documents for your case.
✔ Organize your application properly, so the immigration officer reads and focuses on the most important points.
✔ Communicate directly with the immigration officer, something that no other professional can do.

A skilled immigration attorney can also assist you in other legal matters related to your immigration process, such as family law and tax law, as well as help you and your family navigate personal, educational, and professional challenges to ensure a smooth and secure transition to life in the U.S.

For these reasons, we recommend hiring an attorney licensed in the U.S. and specialized in immigration law. It is also highly beneficial if the attorney or someone on their team speaks your native language—even if you are fluent in English—to avoid any misunderstandings that could harm your case. Lastly, it is crucial that your attorney aligns the legal strategy for your case with your personal and professional plans for your new life in the U.S.

At Wander Garcia Law Firm, we are fully prepared to provide all of this for your immigration process. Let’s talk!

TESTIMONIALS

_____________________________________________________

⭐⭐⭐​​​​​​​⭐​​​​​​​⭐ José de Almeida (EB-2 NIW):
"Dr. Wander Garcia and his team were incredible. From the very first contact, I felt confident in their work, especially when Dr. Wander adjusted the direction of my endeavor and made taking my case conditional on working with what he calls 'independent evidence'—a slightly different concept from what I had heard from other professionals. In addition to declarations, expert opinions, and a well-structured business plan, this approach made all the difference. My visa was approved quickly and without complications."

⭐⭐​​​​​​​⭐​​​​​​​⭐​​​​​​​⭐ Ana Bezerra (Marriage-Based Green Card):
"The team was empathetic and supportive throughout the entire process. I loved the software used to gather my information and documents, making everything easier and faster. My work and travel authorizations arrived in record time, and the process moved quickly until the final approval and the long-awaited green card. I highly recommend Dr. Wander with my eyes closed!"

⭐⭐​​​​​​​⭐​​​​​​​⭐​​​​​​​⭐ Paulo Mattos (O-1 Visa):
"Dr. Wander Garcia and his paralegals handled everything professionally and transparently. I am very satisfied."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mariana Costa (U.S. Citizenship):
"Fast and efficient process! The team was very attentive and guided me through every challenge of the interview process. Dr. Wander made me feel confident from the start, which really helped me finally take the step to apply for my citizenship."
