U.S. Immigration Law
Know exactly where you stand — at every stage, from start to approval.
From Origin to Opportunity.
PAR Lawyers represents individuals, families, professionals, and companies through United States immigration processes: permanent residence, work visas, relocation, and business immigration. At every stage, you’ll know exactly where your case stands and what happens next.

The firm
An immigration process isn’t paperwork. It’s a family, a career, a company — moving from one place in life to another.
How a case moves through the firm
-
Origin
Where the case begins: your facts, your dates, your record.
-
Route
One strategy, chosen in the open, with the alternatives on the table.
-
Movement
Filing, evidence, interviews — handled and reported as they happen.
-
Arrival
Approval, and the dates that matter after it.
We built PAR around that. Every case starts with an honest read of the route that’s open to you — not the one that’s easiest to sell. We tell you what the process requires, how long each stage really takes, and what could change it.
Then we do the work. Filings prepared once and prepared right, responses drafted before a deadline starts pressing, and one point of contact who knows your file by name, not by number.
-
Bilingual by default
Every stage handled in English and Spanish.
-
Fixed scope, quoted up front
You approve the fee before the work begins.
-
One attorney, one file
No handoffs between departments.
Services
Organized by who you are, not by statute.
The same route can have three names in immigration law. Start from your situation, and we’ll tell you which one yours is.

Where you are now. Where you are headed.
Four stages. Select one to see what it involves and how long it takes.
Where you stand
We read the whole picture before advising on any of it: entries and exits, previous petitions, employment history, family ties, and anything already filed on your behalf. Most of the risk in an immigration case is settled right here, by what gets caught early.
The route we choose
Where more than one route exists, we compare them openly: what each one requires, what it costs, how long it’s actually been taking, and what happens if it’s refused. You approve the route and the fee before we prepare a single filing.
Filing and movement
We assemble the record, file it, and handle everything that comes back: requests for evidence, interview preparation, and consular scheduling. You get an update every time the file moves, not just when a decision arrives.
Arrival, and after
An approval is rarely the last step. We close the file with what comes next written down: renewal windows, the earliest date you’re eligible for the next status, and the documents worth keeping for the rest of the road.

Immigration updates
Immigration law updates
Immigration rules change often, and sometimes overnight. This is where the firm explains what changed and what it means.
Work permits: fees rise on October 16, the renewal extension is gone, and the mailing address changed
Adjustment of status is now “extraordinary relief”: what the May memo changed for family cases
Asylum: the annual fee goes up on October 16, not paying it now ends the case, and interviews are harder to reschedule
In the media
Asked to explain the law, as it changed.
Television segments where the firm was interviewed on immigration developments while they were still unfolding.

TPS for El Salvador and the six-month rule
Why an absent decision from the Department of Homeland Security extends protection automatically, and why waiting is still the wrong move.
Before you call
The questions people ask first.
If yours isn’t here, ask it in the consultation request — we answer before you commit to anything.
What happens in a first consultation?
You get a full review and assessment of your case file. You will get to ask all the questions you have about the process, and then you will receive a strategy proposal detailing the proposed strategy, its estimated timeline (with the most up-to-date USCIS/EOIR information), and its costs.
How are fees structured?
Fees will be structured on a case-by-case basis. No hidden fees. Everything will be explained and detailed.
How long will my case take?
Your case timelines will be estimated with the most up-to-date EOIR/USCIS information. As USCIS/EOIR alter their timelines, you will be informed of the changes.
When can I expect to hear back from the firm?
We will give you periodic updates on the status of your cases. We will make sure that you are informed about your case and that you collect the specific evidence necessary for your application or relief.
Can you work with me from outside the United States?
Yes! PAR Law has designed a service model that accommodates meeting times for prospective clients outside of the United States.
What if my case has already been adjudicated or closed?
We will review the file and verify if there are alternatives that would allow your case to be reopened or whether you will have to start the process again. You will receive an honest assessment of your alternatives and their costs.
Is the first consultation free?
No. The first consultation is a paid, one-hour meeting held by video. The fee is confirmed when you schedule on WhatsApp, and government filing fees are always separate from the firm’s fees.
Do you take detained cases?
Yes. The firm handles detained cases and bond hearings, and appears regularly before the immigration courts in Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Maryland, New York and Virginia. Cases in other courts are taken with travel agreed in advance.
Do you work in Spanish?
Sí. Consultations, documents, and every update are available in Spanish and English throughout the case.
Next step
Tell us where you are. We’ll tell you what’s possible.
A consultation is a working conversation, not a sales call. You’ll leave knowing the route, the timeline, and the cost.
