Do You Have an Upcoming Deadline or Travel Date?

Focused Legal Review

What Can Be Addressed During a Consultation?

A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss the specific government action, legal ground, immigration history, and objective involved in your matter.

A Consultation May Help You Understand

  • Why a visa, admission request, or immigration application may have been denied.
  • Whether INA §212 or another immigration provision applies.
  • Whether the government record should be challenged, clarified, or corrected.
  • Whether a waiver, consent to reapply, or other remedy may be available.
  • What evidence and government records should be obtained.
  • What practical risks should be considered before filing or traveling.

The Attorney May Need to Evaluate

  • Visa applications, refusals, revocations, or cancellation history.
  • Statements made to USCIS, CBP, a consular officer, or another government agency.
  • Prior entries, overstays, departures, or removal proceedings.
  • Criminal arrests, charges, dispositions, or related records.
  • Family, employment, investment, or humanitarian immigration objectives.
  • Deadlines, upcoming interviews, travel, or pending applications.
How the Process Works

Requesting and Scheduling Your Consultation

The consultation is not automatically scheduled when the form is submitted. The office must first review the request and confirm availability and consultation terms.

1

Submit Your Request

Provide your contact information, identify the primary immigration issue, and briefly explain what occurred.

2

Initial Review

The office reviews the request for subject matter, urgency, availability, and any information needed for an initial conflict check.

3

Appointment Confirmation

The office contacts you regarding consultation availability, the consultation fee, scheduling, and any documents requested before the appointment.

Matters We Evaluate

Common Reasons to Request a Consultation

INA §212 problems can arise during visa processing, admission at a port of entry, adjustment of status, consular processing, or a later review of an immigration record.

Visa Denial or Refusal

A nonimmigrant or immigrant visa was refused, denied, revoked, or delayed because of a suspected legal issue.

Entry Refusal or CBP Action

CBP refused admission, cancelled a visa, permitted withdrawal, or issued an expedited removal order.

Fraud or Misrepresentation

An officer alleged false information, omitted facts, document problems, unauthorized work, or inconsistent statements.

Unlawful Presence

A prior overstay or period without lawful status may have triggered a three-year, ten-year, or permanent bar.

Criminal Inadmissibility

An arrest, charge, conviction, admission, or foreign criminal record may affect visa issuance or admission.

Prior Removal

A removal, deportation, exclusion, voluntary departure, or expedited removal may require additional legal review or permission to reapply.

Immigration Waiver

A waiver may be required for fraud, unlawful presence, criminal conduct, health issues, or another statutory ground.

Government Record Review

A legal memorandum, FOIA request, visa-record review, or agency inquiry may be needed to understand the finding.

Travel Restriction

A presidential proclamation, security review, sanctions issue, or nationality-based restriction may affect travel or visa eligibility.

Preparing for the Appointment

Information That May Make the Consultation More Productive

After the consultation is confirmed, the office may ask you to provide relevant documents before the appointment. Requested documents will depend on the issue involved.

  • Visa-refusal sheets, cancellation notices, or CBP documents.
  • USCIS notices, decisions, requests for evidence, or notices of intent to deny.
  • Relevant visa applications, petitions, or immigration forms.
  • A chronological list of entries, departures, status, employment, and important events.
  • Criminal complaints, charging documents, plea records, and certified dispositions where relevant.
  • Prior legal opinions, government correspondence, or FOIA records.
  • A list of specific questions and the result you are seeking.
Consultation Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does submitting the form create an attorney-client relationship?

No. Submission of the form does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not mean that the firm has accepted your matter. Representation begins only after the firm agrees to accept the matter and the required engagement agreement and payment conditions are completed.

Is the consultation automatically scheduled?

No. The office first reviews the submitted information and then contacts you regarding availability, consultation terms, payment, and the appointment time.

Is there a consultation fee?

Any applicable consultation fee will be disclosed before the appointment is confirmed. Payment for a consultation covers the consultation itself and does not require the firm to accept continuing representation.

Can I request a consultation from outside Florida or outside the United States?

Yes. The firm handles federal immigration matters for clients located throughout the United States and internationally. Consultations may be conducted remotely when appropriate.

Should I send my documents with the initial request?

The initial form is intended to provide a concise description of the matter. Do not send original documents or highly sensitive information. The office will identify any documents needed after reviewing the request.

Can the attorney guarantee that my case will be approved?

No. Immigration outcomes depend on the law, facts, evidence, procedural history, government records, credibility assessments, and the agency or officer making the decision. No result can be guaranteed.

What should I do if my matter is urgent?

State the exact deadline, interview date, detention status, or travel date in the form. After submitting it, call 305-515-0613. Submission does not guarantee that the firm can accept or respond to an urgent matter.
