Comprehensive Immigration Services
Whether you are trying to come to the United States, obtain permanent residence, become a U.S. citizen, protect yourself from removal, or resolve an immigration problem, the right legal strategy begins with a careful evaluation of your situation.
Legalízate Ya assists individuals and families with a broad range of immigration matters.
U.S. Visas
A U.S. visa may allow a person to visit, study, work, conduct business, join family, or pursue another qualifying purpose in the United States.
Because different visa categories have different requirements, choosing the appropriate category is an important first step.
Legalízate Ya helps clients understand available visa options, prepare applications and supporting documentation, and navigate the immigration process.
Our visa services may include assistance with family-based visas, fiancé(e) visas, employment-related visas, visitor visas, student visas, and other qualifying immigrant and nonimmigrant visa categories.
Green Cards & Permanent Residency
For many immigrants, obtaining lawful permanent residence is one of the most important steps in their immigration journey.
A Green Card may be available through qualifying family relationships, employment, humanitarian programs, and other immigration categories. Depending on the circumstances, an applicant may pursue permanent residence through adjustment of status in the United States or through immigrant visa processing abroad.
Legalízate Ya helps individuals and families evaluate their eligibility for permanent residence and understand the legal process involved.
Our services may include:
- Family-based Green Cards
- Marriage-based immigration
- Adjustment of status
- Consular processing
- Permanent residency applications
- Removal of conditions on residence
- Related immigration applications and supporting documents

Citizenship & Naturalization
Becoming a U.S. citizen can be an important milestone for lawful permanent residents who are eligible for naturalization.
The citizenship process requires more than simply holding a Green Card for a certain period. Applicants must meet the requirements that apply to their circumstances and provide accurate information about their immigration and personal history.
Legalízate Ya helps eligible permanent residents prepare for the naturalization process, including the application, supporting documentation, interview, and other applicable requirements.
We can also help identify potential issues in your immigration history before you apply.

Asylum & Humanitarian Immigration Relief
Some people come to the United States because they fear persecution, violence, threats, or other serious harm in their country of origin.
U.S. immigration law provides certain forms of humanitarian protection for individuals who meet specific legal requirements. Asylum cases can be particularly sensitive and fact-specific, making careful preparation and legal representation important.
Legalízate Ya assists individuals seeking asylum and other forms of humanitarian immigration relief. We can help evaluate your circumstances, identify potentially available options, prepare your application and supporting evidence, and guide you through the applicable immigration process.
If you are afraid to return to your home country, obtaining legal advice as early as possible may be important because immigration deadlines and procedural requirements can affect your case.
Immigration Waivers
Certain immigration issues can result in a person being considered inadmissible to the United States. Depending on the specific ground of inadmissibility and the circumstances of the case, immigration law may provide a waiver.
Legalízate Ya helps clients understand whether a waiver may be available and what legal requirements must be satisfied.
Our services may involve:
- Form I-601 waivers
- Form I-601A provisional unlawful presence waivers
- Certain grounds of inadmissibility
- Immigration history issues
- Previous immigration violations
- Certain fraud or misrepresentation issues
- Other qualifying waiver strategies
Because waiver eligibility depends heavily on the individual case, we begin by reviewing your immigration history and identifying the specific issue that may be affecting your eligibility.

Family-Based Immigration
For many people, immigration is about family.
A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may be able to petition for certain qualifying relatives, depending on the applicable immigration category and circumstances.
Family-based immigration can involve petitions, supporting documentation, financial sponsorship, visa processing, adjustment of status, interviews, and other legal procedures.
Legalízate Ya helps families understand the immigration process and identify the appropriate strategy for their circumstances.
Our team can assist with matters involving spouses, parents, children, siblings, fiancé(e)s, and other qualifying family relationships.
A family relationship does not automatically guarantee immigration eligibility. The details of the relationship, the petitioner’s status, the beneficiary’s location, and the beneficiary’s immigration history can all affect the available options.
Adjustment of Status
For certain eligible immigrants who are already in the United States, adjustment of status may provide a way to apply for lawful permanent residence without completing the entire immigrant visa process abroad.
However, eligibility can depend on factors such as the applicant’s immigration category, manner of entry, current status, previous immigration violations, and other circumstances.
Legalízate Ya evaluates these factors before helping clients pursue adjustment of status.
We can assist with the preparation of applications, supporting evidence, required forms, and legal strategy throughout the process.
If you are considering applying for a Green Card from inside the United States, a case evaluation can help determine whether adjustment of status may be an appropriate option.
Immigration Applications & Petitions
U.S. immigration cases can involve numerous forms and supporting documents. Depending on the case, applicants and petitioners may encounter forms such as:
- I-130 – Petition for Alien Relative
- I-129F – Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)
- I-485 – Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
- I-589 – Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal
- I-601 – Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
- I-601A – Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver
- I-765 – Application for Employment Authorization
- I-751 – Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence
- N-400 – Application for Naturalization
- N-600 – Application for Certificate of Citizenship
- I-212 – Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission After Deportation or Removal
These are only some of the forms that may be relevant to an immigration case.

The important question is not simply which form to file. It is whether the application is appropriate for your specific circumstances and whether your case presents issues that should be addressed before filing.

Immigration Court & Removal Defense
Not every immigration matter begins with an application to USCIS.
Some individuals are placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge and need legal representation to defend their ability to remain in the United States.
Depending on the circumstances, immigration court cases may involve defenses or forms of relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, waivers, or other available legal strategies.
Legalízate Ya represents clients in immigration matters involving removal and deportation proceedings and works to identify the strongest legal options available under the circumstances.
If you have received a Notice to Appear, have an upcoming immigration court hearing, or are concerned about deportation, seeking legal advice promptly can be critical.
With experience and dedication, we help you take the next step.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration Services
Legalízate Ya provides immigration legal services involving visas, Green Cards and permanent residency, family-based immigration, adjustment of status, citizenship and naturalization, asylum and humanitarian relief, immigration waivers, and other immigration matters.
The appropriate immigration process depends on your individual circumstances. Factors such as your current immigration status, family relationships, location, manner of entry, previous immigration history, and immigration goals can affect your options.
A case evaluation can help identify the appropriate legal pathway.
In some circumstances, qualifying relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents may be eligible for family-based immigration. The available process depends on the family relationship, the petitioner’s immigration status, the beneficiary’s circumstances, and other legal requirements.
Possibly. Lawful permanent residents who meet the applicable naturalization requirements may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. Eligibility can depend on factors including the required period of permanent residence, physical presence, residence, good moral character, and other requirements applicable to the individual.
Certain individuals in the United States may be eligible to seek asylum if they meet the requirements established under U.S. immigration law. Asylum cases are highly fact-specific, and applicants should have their circumstances evaluated carefully.
An immigration violation does not necessarily mean that you have no legal options. Depending on the circumstances, there may be waivers, adjustment strategies, humanitarian relief, or other forms of immigration relief available.
The first step is identifying the specific issue affecting your case.
You are not necessarily required to have an attorney to submit every immigration application. However, legal representation can be especially valuable when a case involves previous immigration violations, complicated family circumstances, prior applications, removal proceedings, or other potential complications.

During a consultation, our team can explain the expected stages of your particular process.
Bring any immigration documents you have, including passports, visas, Green Cards, previous USCIS notices, immigration court documents, prior applications, work permits, marriage or birth certificates, and documents relating to previous immigration proceedings.
