Visas K1/K2 para prometidos y visas K3 para cónyuges

Una visa K-1 permite al prometido ingresar a EE.UU. por un período temporal de 90 días para casarse. Es una excelente opción para evitar los largos tiempos de espera y la tramitación consular. Tras la expedición de la visa K-1, tu prometido y cualquier hijo deben ingresar a EE.UU. en un plazo de 6 meses y casarse dentro de los 90 días posteriores a la entrada. Cualquier menor (menor de 21 años y soltero) ingresará con la visa K-2. Del mismo modo, la visa K-3 permite a una persona que se haya casado con un ciudadano estadounidense en su país de origen ingresar a EE.UU. mientras su petición está pendiente. La embajada o el consulado de Estados Unidos en el país de origen del cónyuge expide esta visa y les permite ingresar a Estados Unidos mientras esperan la aprobación de la petición de matrimonio presentada por el ciudadano estadounidense ante el USCIS.

Peticiones familiares

Una gran parte de las visas de inmigrante que se expiden cada año provienen de peticiones de familiares que son ciudadanos estadounidenses o residentes permanentes. Las peticiones familiares en EE.UU. se presentan para cónyuges, padres, hijos e incluso hermanos en algunos casos. El sistema de inmigración limita el número de visas de inmigrante basadas en la familia según una categoría de preferencia.

Ciudadanía (Naturalización)

La ciudadanía es la etapa final y más importante tras obtener la tarjeta verde. Un residente permanente aún puede ser deportado en determinadas circunstancias, por lo que la ciudadanía ayuda a evitar la deportación. Antes de solicitarla, es importante que consideres el tiempo de viaje, los antecedentes penales, el examen de civismo y el requisito del idioma. También tendrás que realizar una entrevista con el USCIS, donde el funcionario revisará los detalles de tu situación particular.

Exenciones (Indultos)

A menudo, existen problemas que impiden a una persona obtener la residencia legal permanente. Estos problemas suelen derivarse de infracciones penales, pero también pueden surgir por otros factores. Si el funcionario consular de tu país te ha considerado inadmisible en Estados Unidos, aunque estés casado con un ciudadano estadounidense, no podrás ingresar. Si lo intentas sin la documentación correcta, podrías enfrentarte a una prohibición de entrada de 3 a 10 años. Lo mejor es contratar a un abogado para estas situaciones delicadas.

Visados U (para víctimas de delitos)

El estatus de no inmigrante U (visa U) está reservado para las víctimas de ciertos delitos que han sufrido abusos mentales o físicos y han sido de ayuda a las fuerzas del orden en la investigación o persecución de una actividad delictiva. También es importante tener en cuenta que el delito debe haber ocurrido dentro de EE.UU. o haber violado las leyes estadounidenses.

DACA

Gracias a un mandato judicial preliminar emitido por un tribunal federal, los beneficiarios actuales de DACA pueden presentar una renovación de su estatus. Si anteriormente recibiste DACA y tu DACA ha caducado o va a caducar pronto, puedes optar por presentar la renovación de tu DACA ante los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos.

Defensa de expulsión/deportación

Si actualmente te encuentras en un procedimiento de expulsión o sospechas que podrían iniciarlo, es importante que te informes sobre tus opciones para permanecer en EE.UU. Dependiendo de tu caso, es posible que puedas optar por la cancelación de la expulsión, el asilo u otras formas de ayuda.

Univeral and Blake Harris have 5 well earned stars for a reason. I’ve been through two divorces now, the first one I hired a big name local firm that charged me 25K and made a mess of my case. This time around I did not have much hope at all for ANY family law attorney but from the jump Blake proved to be a good dude. I know honesty and attorney are two words that usually don’t go together but Blake is an honest guy. His billing is honest and fair. When he doesn’t know something he’s honest about it. If he perceives himself or his office to have made a mistake he will eat the cost. My recent divorce was a complex international case that Blake jumped right into and took the lead on helping me figure it all out. Can’t recommend him enough.

Blake's office is located right near the courthouse, which made things very convenient. I was referred to Blake, and during our initial consultation he immediately identified key points we could pursue in my case that my previous representation had not brought up. That gave me real confidence that he'd fight for the best outcome for my family, which he did. Compared to my previous family law attorney, I felt like I received much better communication and coordination with Blake and his team. Universal Legal has a solid, experienced legal team with a range of rates, which helps optimize cost for work done.

I hired Universal Legal after my ex filed to modify the parenting plan. She filed for temporary orders but Blake was able to negotiate and we ended up mediating. His negotiations saved me money. I appreciated his willingness to help make the process efficient.

I feel so grateful that I found Blake and his team, they carried me through my divorce. The whole process was a bit scary for me but they were always available to answer all my questions and really held my hand in helping me understand our financial situation when dividing up property. I’m extremely grateful for the help they gave me and how thorough and personable Blake was in getting the divorce done smoothly and efficiently.

Lawyer Blake and his team did a fantastic job handling everything for my divorce. Paperwork and legal jargon can be frustrating, but they made it easy and helped me throughout the entire process. Professional and kind, I'd recommend them to anyone! :)

Blake was very kind and helpful to me during my divorce. I always felt like he took the time to listen to me and to explain things I didn't understand. I never felt unimportant or rushed, or like I was a bother. My divorce was a hard, stressful time in my life, but Blake helped me navigate the legal side of it with confidence and kindness. I would absolutely recommend him. Thank you, Blake!

Blake and his team helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I truly couldn’t have done it without them. They guided me through a process I wouldn’t have known how to navigate on my own. Throughout my case, they were dedicated, kind, empathetic, and always communicative. I’m incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them.

I was honestly preparing myself for the worst outcome. I ended up having to go to trial because my ex would not settle the case for what I thought was reasonable. We ended up getting more than I expected, and Blake and his team were on it every step of the way and very communicative. I’m so glad I found Universal Legal, my expectations were truly exceeded. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Blake. After dealing with a difficult issue for over 10 years, and being told by multiple attorneys that nothing could be done, he stepped in and proved otherwise. From the very beginning, he was patient, understanding, and truly took the time to listen. He never made me feel rushed or dismissed, and he approached my case with both determination and care. What felt impossible for so long finally became manageable under his guidance. Thanks to his persistence and expertise, I was finally able to reach a resolution and gain the closure I had been searching for over a decade. That kind of outcome is truly life-changing. If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to their clients, I highly recommend him. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did for me.
