Do I need to be in Florida to work with Evergreen Law Firm?
No. Immigration law is federal law, which means we can represent clients throughout the United States in many immigration matters. Most consultations and meetings can be conducted virtually.
What types of immigration cases do you handle?
We represent individuals and families in a wide range of immigration matters, including:
Family-based petitions, adjustment of status, naturalization and citizenship, removal defense, humanitarian relief, waivers of inadmissibility, VAWA petitions, U Visas, SIJS, Motions before the immigration court and Board of Immigration Appeals.
If you’re unsure whether we handle your matter, contact us to discuss your case.
How do I know if I qualify for an immigration benefit?
Every immigration case depends on a person’s immigration history, family relationships, criminal history, and other factors. During a consultation, we review your circumstances, identify potential forms of relief, and explain your available options.

How long will my immigration case take?
Processing times vary depending on the type of application, the government agency involved, and current case backlogs. During your consultation, we’ll provide realistic expectations based on your specific case and explain what to expect throughout the process.
What documents should I bring to my consultation?
If available, bring:
Any identification (passport, driver’s license, state ID, work permit), immigration documents, notices from USCIS or immigration court, marriage or birth certificates, criminal records if applicable, any prior immigration filings or decisions.
Don’t worry if you don’t have everything. We can explain what documents will be needed after reviewing your situation.
I’ve been denied before. Can I still qualify?
Possibly. A prior denial does not automatically prevent you from obtaining immigration benefits in the future. In many situations, there may be other options available depending on the reason for the denial and any changes in your circumstances.
Can you help if I’m already in immigration court?
Yes. We represent clients in removal proceedings before the Immigration Court and can evaluate potential defenses and forms of relief that may be available.
Will everything I tell you remain confidential?
Yes. Consultations with our office are confidential. We encourage clients to provide complete and accurate information so we can properly evaluate their legal options.
How much do your services cost?
Because every immigration matter is different, fees depend on the type and complexity of the case. During your consultation, we’ll explain the legal work involved, answer your questions, and provide a clear fee quote before any representation begins.
Why should I hire an immigration attorney?
Immigration law is complex, and mistakes can result in delays, denials, or the loss of important legal rights. Working with an experienced attorney helps ensure that your case is thoroughly evaluated, your applications are properly prepared, and you have knowledgeable representation throughout the process.
