Immigration And Florida Law Enforcement
Florida’s Law Enforcement Can Be A Friend Or Foe Of Immigrants
On the one hand, law enforcement reports are instrumental to the smooth processing of a U visa if you have suffered a physical injury or mental anguish as a result of criminal activity. On the other hand, a conviction following an arrest for allegations of criminal activity can result in jail time and deportation. Florida’s local law enforcement officers work with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), but fairness and justice can hard to define without the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney.
If you are seeking the relief provided to crime victims our knowledgeable attorneys, Jesus La Rosa and his associates will give your situation personal attention. Call La Rosa Law, P.A. at (305) 908-3857 for affordable legal services.
Do Not Be Afraid: An Attorney Can Help You Understand Your Rights
If you have suffered due to criminal activity, have information about the illegal actions of another or a crime, or can be helpful in investigating a crime or sentencing of a perpetrator of a crime, do not be afraid to step forward. You may qualify for a U nonimmigrant status visa. Certification from a law enforcement officer is critical to this application. The USCIS has a list of crimes that qualify, including those involving:
Abduction, kidnapping, being held hostage, false imprisonment
Abusive sexual contact, sexual assault, incest and rape
Domestic violence
Fraud in foreign labor contracts, human trafficking, sexual exploitation and prostitution
Involuntary servitude, the slave trade
Manslaughter and murder
Blackmail and extortion
Federal, state or local law enforcement authority, including judges, may complete the critical certification necessary for a U visa. Agencies with criminal investigative jurisdiction such as the Florida Department of Children and Families, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Department of Labor may also complete the certificate. It is important to keep in mind that completion of the certification does not automatically grant a U visa. Before the USCIS grants a U visa, they will conduct a background check of the applicant and family members on the application.
Obtaining A Green Card
There Is More Than One Way To Obtain Your Green Card
You may have already heard about the many ways an immigrant can live and work in the U.S., but you may not be so sure about which road you should choose. Speaking with an experienced immigration attorney can give you the clarity you seek for obtaining a permanent resident card or “green card.” At the law office of La Rosa Law, P.A., attorney Jesus La Rosa can help you understand the process and guide you every step of the way. Call his office at (305) 908-3857 for a consultation to learn more.
Your Family Member Or Employer Can File Petition On Your Behalf
If you qualify for a green card, there is a lot of paperwork to complete. Your family member or employer will have to agree to sponsor you. You may qualify for a permanent resident card if your immediate family member is a U.S. citizen and files a petition, also known as the visa petition or I-130 Petition for Alien Relative, for your green card. An immediate family member includes your:
Spouse
Parent
Stepparent
Fiancé
Generally, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) prioritizes green cards for spouses, fiancé(e)s and adopted children. You may also file this petition if you are a widow/widower or a victim of a battery or cruelty in your marriage.
Your employer may file a visa petition for you if you are a:
Skilled professional in the arts, sciences, education, athletics or business
Professor or researcher
Physician willing to practice in an underserved area
Multinational executive
Labor worker
Immigrant investor in a new commercial enterprise
Religious worker
Skilled and unskilled workers may qualify for a range of visas. Our knowledgeable attorneys can help you map out the best path for your circumstances.
Securing Permanent Residence Through Other Statuses
The USCIS grants green cards for other statuses such as refugee or asylee status, human trafficking and crime victim status, a victim of abuse status, including a special immigrant juvenile who is a victim of abuse or neglect. Green cards are also available to those from certain foreign countries. For example, if you are a Cuban native or citizen or the spouse or child of a Cuban citizen and have been living in the U.S. for at least one year, you may be eligible for a green card under the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 (CAA) for adjustment of status.
