Tourist Visa
Extension
Who can and When to Apply for a Visa Extension?
If you are legally in the United States and within your authorized stay period, you may apply for a visa extension for an additional 6 months. The immigration website recommends that the extension should be requested no later than 45 days before the visa expires.
Student Visa
Extension
The F-1 and M-1 visas are specific for exchange students in the United States. The F-1 visa is intended for students enrolled in an American college or university, or in high schools and language schools that offer courses with more than 18 hours per week. The M-1 visa, on the other hand, is offered to students enrolled in vocational or non-academic institutions.
EB-2 NIW
This is an immigration visa category that allows workers with skills and professional qualifications to permanently emigrate to the United States.
What are the advantages of the EB-2 NIW?
One of the notable advantages of the EB-2 NIW is the waiver of the employer sponsorship requirement, as well as the need for specific job offers.
EB-3
One of the most significant advantages of the EB-3 visa is the ability to work legally in the United States. This not only provides professional stability but also allows beneficiaries to actively contribute to the American economy.
How to Obtain the EB-3 Visa?
Job offer. The first step is to secure a job offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor your visa.
K-1
This visa is intended for foreign nationals who wish to marry an American citizen in the United States and become a legal permanent resident (LPR) without leaving the United States. The K-2 visa is for the minor children of K-1 applicants. The K-2 visa applicant must be under 21 years old.
What is needed to obtain the K-1 visa?
The applicant and the American citizen must be eligible to marry, meaning they are single, divorced, or widowed. The couple must have met in person within the last 24 months. The purpose of the marriage must be genuine, not merely to gain immigration benefits.
Green Card
The Green Card, officially known as the US Permanent Resident Card, is the document that proves you have become a permanent resident of the United States. It represents the gateway to a stable life in the United States.
Review your application and related forms thoroughly to avoid errors or inconsistencies. To ensure a good outcome, our immigration consultants at Lopes Immigration can help identify and correct potential issues before the interview.
Citzenship
Citizenship is the legal status that grants an individual the rights and duties of a citizen of a country. To obtain citizenship, a foreigner typically must go through a naturalization process, which can include various stages from temporary residency in the country to an oath of allegiance.
The most common way to become a permanent resident is to live in the U.S. for several years with a work visa. However, there are other visas that allow for obtaining a Green Card and, subsequently, the right to citizenship.
Political Asylum
Political asylum is intended for people who are in dangerous situations and fear for their lives in their home countries. It authorizes foreigners to stay in the country, live, work, and even apply for permanent residency (Green Card) after their request is approved.
What is the purpose of political asylum?
It aims to protect any foreign citizen who is persecuted in their territory for political crimes, religious beliefs, racial situations, or torture.
FOIA
FOIA is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, based on American freedom of information legislation (FOIA – THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT). Its purpose is to understand what records the U.S. government has about a person that may be causing temporary inadmissibility in the country.
Legal Matters
Judicial or Extrajudicial Inventory
This is a procedure used to assess the assets, rights, and debts of the deceased. The inventory is an instrument to formalize the division and transfer of assets to the heirs.
Judicial Inventory:
A legal process carried out in the Judiciary to distribute the assets of a deceased person when there are disputes among the heirs or when there are minor heirs.
Extrajudicial Inventory:
An administrative procedure conducted at a notary office, faster and less bureaucratic, used when there is consensus among the heirs and all are of legal age and capable.
Recognition of Foreign Judgments
This refers to the acknowledgment and validation, by a Brazilian court, of a judicial decision issued by a foreign court. Recognition is necessary for the judgment to have legal effect in Brazil, whether in cases of divorce, child custody, or other international legal matters.
Divorce
in Brazil
This refers to the legal process of dissolving a marriage that was registered and conducted in Brazil. This procedure involves the division of assets, alimony issues, and, if applicable, determinations regarding the custody of minor children.
Judicial or Extrajudicial Adverse Possession
When does a person have the right to adverse possession (usucapião)?
An individual who, not being the owner of rural or urban property, possesses as their own, for five uninterrupted years, without opposition, a plot of land in rural areas not exceeding fifty hectares, making it productive through their own or their family’s labor, and residing there, will acquire ownership of the property.
What are the requirements for adverse possession (usucapião)?
There are different types of adverse possession actions, details of which will follow below. However, all forms of adverse possession share three common requirements: animus domini (intention to possess as owner), absence of opposition to possession, and uninterrupted possession for a specified period of time.
