Miami Immigration Services

Serving Individuals & Families with Complex Immigration Cases

Few legal matters can impact a person's life the way an immigration case can. Whether you are seeking removal defense or appealing a decision in your case, the stakes are high.

At the Law Offices of Juliana G. Lamardo, we recognize that your future depends on the quality of our representation. As a skilled immigration attorney with over 10 years of experience, Attorney Juliana G. Lamardo works tirelessly to protect her clients' rights and freedom.

Understanding Miami’s Immigration Landscape

Miami serves as a gateway for countless immigrants due to its diverse population and strategic location. The city harbors one of the largest immigrant communities in the country, making immigration law an integral element of its legal landscape. Local government and non-profit organizations, such as the Miami-Dade County Office of New Americans, work tirelessly to support immigrants in integrating into American life. Our firm stays at the forefront of these local efforts, enabling us to offer our clients informed guidance and support tailored to the Miami context. Whether navigating complex immigration pathways or seeking community resources, understanding Miami's unique immigration environment is crucial for success.

As new policies and reforms emerge, staying informed is more important than ever. For instance, current discussions around Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) continually impact the immigrant community in Miami, directly affecting eligibility and legal strategy. By aligning our practices with these local dynamics, we help clients make informed decisions that align with their personal and familial goals. Whether you are dealing with immigration court, applying for citizenship, or looking to understand your rights and opportunities as an immigrant, our firm is dedicated to providing you with the most relevant and timely information.

  • Do I need an immigration lawyer, or can I handle the case on my own?
    The simple answer is no. You do not need an attorney; however, an attorney is highly recommended as the immigration laws are constantly changing. An immigration attorney facilitates the process from start to finish. Working with an immigration attorney allows for a more stress-free process.
  • What is the benefit of getting a green card?

    When you have a green card, you enjoy benefits that non-immigrants do not receive.

    As a green card holder, you:

    • File a Petition on behalf of family members
    • Pay less for college tuition
    • Only have to renew your green card every 10 years
    • Can travel more easily in and out of the U.S.
    • Can receive Social Security benefits if you work in the U.S. for at least 10 years
    • Can apply for Citizenship (through naturalization) after five years, in some circumstances three years
  • When can I apply for naturalization?
    Citizenship is also known as Naturalization. Once you have been a green card holder for five years, you may seek naturalization. There are a few circumstances in which you can apply for Citizenship before the five-year requirement, such as people who have held a green card and been married to a U.S. Citizen for three years. You can also apply for derivative Citizenship if either one or both of your parents are U.S. Citizens, in limited circumstances.
  • Do I have to disclose my criminal record on an immigration application?
    Yes. It is vital that any criminal history is reported accurately and fully. Any convictions, arrests, or charges should be reported, whether committed inside or outside of the United States. Also you must disclose any arrests/convictions obtained using a false name/alias.
  • Will criminal charges affect my immigration status?
    Not all arrests or criminal charges can affect your immigration status. However, some criminal convictions can and will affect your immigration status.
  • My application was denied on grounds of inadmissibility. What can I do?
    If USCIS has deemed you inadmissible, you may be able to obtain a waiver of inadmissibility. Essentially, an approved waiver of inadmissibility means the government is willing forgive your ground of inadmissibility. It usually takes outweighing the inadmissibility issue for the government to grant a waiver of inadmissibility.
  • Can I appeal a removal/deportation order?
    Yes. If you are facing removal proceedings, we can help you file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals.
  • What can I do to protect myself if I am in removal/deportation proceedings?

    Possible forms of relief include:

    • Cancellation of removal for certain permanent residents (EOIR 42A)
    • Cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents (EOIR 42B)
    • Adjustment of status / Residency
    • Waiver for crimes of inadmissibility – 212(h)
    • Waiver for crimes before 1997 - 212(c)
    • Waiver for fraud – 212(i)
    • Special waiver for fraud under 237(a)(1)(H)
    • Petitions to remove conditions on residence (I-751)
    • Motions to Terminate
    • Voluntary departure
    • Prosecutorial discretion

    Attorney Juliana G. Lamardo can assess your case and determine which form of relief may be best suited for your situation.

  • How long will I have to wait to get my visa?
    Visa processing times vary across the board. Wait times often depend on the type of visa for which you petitioned. Applications are processed in the order they are received based on their priority date. Depending on the type of visa you are seeking, and depending on the consulate you are using, it could take anywhere from a few months to several years. When working on your case, we can advise you as to how long yours might take.
  • What is a bond? What happens at a bond hearing?

    A bond is a sum of money that must be paid to release a detainee from custody. Immigration Bonds must be paid by a U.S. Citizen, a lawful permanent resident or a bond company. Payment of a bond allows a detainee to return home until his or her hearing. Not all detainees are eligible for a bond – some are only eligible for parole.

    You may request a bond hearing if you have been denied a bond or if the bond amount is too high. We recommend retaining qualified legal counsel to represent you at your bond hearing.

Client Reviews
    "She is amazing!!"
    They say marriage interviews you are to be afraid of - but with Ms. Lamardo, that is out the door. Juliana helped us get all together, talked to us, gave us a preview and we felt way more confident. The day arrived and it was so fun with her, we laughed, we met other attorneys, we even forgot that we had the interview. We went in, and everything went smoothly. It was great! She is amazing!! Of course before all that fun we had some serious time to prepare and get everything we needed and she helped us do that and her name is well known so we were good. I just want to say - Thank you very very much!

    "Went Above and Beyond"
    Juliana started to work on our file and completely turned an unpleasant situation into a very positive one. She handled our situation with the utmost care and went above and beyond every step of the process. Whenever we had a question she answered promptly or got back to us with a reasonable amount of time. Her customer service was exceptional and I appreciate the care she gave to us during a very difficult time in my families life. I highly recommend.

    "An Absolutely Incredible Job on My Case"
    Ms. Lamardo did an absolutely incredible job on my case. She listened attentively to my concerns and addressed every single item I was worried about. I have had a series of very bad experiences with multiple attorneys and Ms. Lamardo came highly recommended for her experience and professionalism. She went above and beyond even showing up to USCIS when no one would return her calls or emails about my case. NOW HERE I AM, VERY HAPPY TO BE A PERMANENT RESIDENT. Next, my citizenship. THANK YOU JULIANA, YOU SAVED MY LIFE. If you are looking for the best, I strongly recommend you call Ms. Lamardo before you waste your time and money on a bait and switch firm. She will attend to your case personally.

    "Solved My Case the Best Way Possible"
    I highly recommend this lawyer as she has solved my case the best way possible! She's friendly and replies to all of my e-mails promptly. Extremely professional!
    - Anonymous
    "She Was a Great Support"
    Attorney Lamardo was recommended to us by a friend and at a time of desperation, she was a great support. She assisted my husband out of deportation proceedings...Even though she was assisting us long distance, I do not have any complaints about her diligence. She is responsible and knowledgeable about the process. I have recently reached out to her after a few years without contact and I received a response within 10 minutes after the email was sent. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who may be in need of an immigration attorney!
